Sell your with back taxes owed Lansing house for cash — we buy direct

Owing back property taxes doesn't stop you from selling — but it does compress the timeline before the county can move to tax sale. A cash sale pays off the taxes directly from the proceeds at closing, often before any auction would happen. We buy tax-delinquent property routinely and can close on these.

How the Michigan timeline works

Michigan forecloses by advertisement (non-judicial) — four weeks of published notice and then the sale — but most homeowners then have a six-month redemption period after the auction. Selling before the sale is still far cleaner than trying to work inside redemption.

Michigan closings run through title companies; two-to-three-week cash closings are standard.
