Holowpaw, near Saint Cloud in Osceola County.

 

Land inside of Suburban Estates is for Recreational Use.

 

This area is used by the landowners for

Hunting, Fishing, Four-Wheeling, Mudding, Camping, etc.

 

The property is gated and only landowners and their guests

have access via the locked gate entrance.

 

This land is deemed un-buildable; however from what

I understand structures of a non-permanent nature are allowed.

So Small Cabins, RV's, Mobilehomes, Tiny Homes, Sheds, Shipping Containers, etc.

should be fine as long as they do not have permanent foundations.

 

I have included several pictures of actual campsites inside of Suburban Estates,

some even have elaborate solar power systems!

 

If you are looking for a place to park your RV or Tiny Home and Live Off-The-Grid, or

if you want a place to camp out, or establish a Hunting Basecamp

with the Suburban Estates Property Association (SEPA).

The key currently costs $50.  This size lot can get TWO keys.

You can learn more at SEPA's website SEPACLUB.com 

 

I live in California and I have never been to the lot. 

I Do NOT have a gate key, and thus I can not show the land.

 

I have added many photos of the land, and

I have priced the land aggressively due to the fact that it can not be shown.

ALSO PLEASE NOTE: 

In April 2023 A Fire Hit This Area Of Suburban Estates,

The Abandoned Camper That Was On My Lot For Sale Was Destroyed. 

Mother Nature Will Be Quick To Return This Lot To Its Beautiful Natural Condition.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 

AND 

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

 

How Did You Acquire This Property?   Why Are You Selling It?

I manage a portfolio of tax lien certificates in over 40 counties in Florida.  A tax lien certificate is basically a loan that is made when a property owner is unable to pay their property taxes.  These tax liens are made by the County Tax Collector, and then the tax collector sells the liens to private investors (like me).   These tax liens pay interest just like a mortgage or other loan.  When the property owner pays off his delinquent taxes the tax lien is automatically paid off.  However, once in a while an owner does not pay the delinquent taxes.  In this case a foreclosure is begun and I become the new owner.   I acquired this Lot in this manner.  

The prior owners Margaret M. Karol purchased this lot in 1971!  The property taxes were paid until 2011. Tax liens were issued directly from The Osceola County Tax Collector.  A foreclosure process was started on the land, and since the taxes remained unpaid, the Osceola County Tax Collecter transferred the property to me

I would like to reinvest my funds into other tax lien certificates as soon as possible, so I am offering this lot here on Ebid at a deep discount.

I choose to sell via Ebid to avoid fees.  Realtor commissions, Escrow and Other Fees can easily exceed $2,500.  Using Ebid, I can avoid most of these fees and pass a great deal along to you!

 

This Land Was Purchased Via A Tax Deed ... What Is A Tax Deed and

How are Tax Deeds Different From Other Deeds?

A Tax Deed is a specific type of deed that is only used when a property owner fails to pay his property taxes.  A Tax Deed gives the County Tax Collector the authority to SELL the property to collect the unpaid property taxes.

The County Tax Collector must go through a series of legal steps in order to issue a Tax Deed.  These legal steps include notifying the property owner, applying for the tax deed, posting a notice at the property, and posting a public notice of sale.

Once a Tax Deed is issued and recorded the new owner is legally granted immediate possession of the property per Florida Statute 197.562.  While a Tax Deed does grant the buyer immediate possession, it does not give the buyer “marketable title”. 

What exactly is “marketable title”?  A property has a marketable title when that property can be transferred to a new owner without the likelihood that the ownership will be challenged, or that any other claims will be made on the property by another party.   A Tax Deed property cannot have marketable title because a Tax Deed legally transfers ownership to the new purchaser on one condition…that condition makes the assumption that the County Tax Collector has followed all the legal steps in order to issue the Tax Deed.

But what happens if those legal steps are not followed exactly?   If the Prior Owner believes that an error has been made, then he can file a lawsuit to try to overturn or void the Tax Deed.  Fortunately, Per Florida Statute 95.192, the Prior Owner only has four years to bring about a lawsuit to challenge or void the Tax Deed.  Once those four years has elapsed the Prior Owner can no longer file a lawsuit, effectively eliminating that cloud on the title.  This is why most Title Insurance Companies will not issue title insurance during the four year period after a Tax Deed has been issued.

Whew that sure was a mouthful, I think I sound too much like a lawyer … Let me further explain with a hypothetical example. 

Let’s assume Mr. Smith owns a piece of land.  Mr. Smith unfortunately gets into a car accident and he is in a coma.  Because of the coma he does not pay his property taxes.  Tax Lien Certificates are issued and after two years the holder of the tax liens decides to file a Tax Deed Application (Foreclosure).  The Tax Collector goes through the legal steps and serves Mr. Smith with the notices, but because he is in a coma he cannot respond.   The land is then sold via Tax Deed.  One year later (or anytime up to four years later) Mr. Smith wakes up from his coma to discover that his land is gone.  What can he do? Because a Tax Deed has been issued Mr. Smith can no longer just go down to the Tax Collector and pay his back taxes.  Instead, Mr. Smith would need to get a real estate attorney and file a lawsuit (Mr. Smith would also need to pay all of the legal and court fees).  Mr. Smith would plead his case to the Judge, and in this specific case the Judge would most likely overturn the Tax Deed.  In this example the Judge would typically order that the land be returned to Mr. Smith, and that Mr. Smith would be required to pay back all the taxes and fees from the tax deed application. 

When someone purchases a property via a Tax Deed they buy that property subject to the risk that at any time during the next four years the prior owner could file such a lawsuit in an attempt to challenge that Tax Deed.  By purchasing this land from me you are assuming that risk as well.  Because legal and court fees are expensive (about $2,500) it is very, very rare for a prior owner to try to overturn a Tax Deed, especially on lower priced properties.

Please keep in mind, one of the reasons this land is aggressively priced is because it was acquired via a tax deed.

Also, please note that the prior owner has not paid property taxes in over 12 years, so it is very, very unlikely that the prior owner would try to chalange the tax deed.

The Tax Deed On This Lot Was Recorded On 03/06/2023, So The Four Year Period Will End On 03/06/2027.

 

If The Prior Owner Did Not Pay The Taxes, Does This Mean The Lot is Worthless or is "Swamp-Land"?

This Lot is far from worthless!  There are campsites throughout Suburban Estates, Many people purchase lots in the middle of the swamp just to get a gate key!  You can purchase this campsite lot and come to Suburban Estates as much as you want, and/or establish a campsite with an RV or Cabin or Container or Tiny Home.  If you ever decide you no longer need or want this lot you can sell it and recoup your investment!

How Do I Pay?

The High Bidder will need to WIRE Funds to My Bank, OR send a cashiers check or money orders for the purchase price along with the name of the new owner and how title will be held.  Once your funds have cleared I will prepare a quit claim deed and send it to Osceola County to be recorded.  

I will pay ALL THE FEES for preparing & recording the deed.  WHAT YOU PAY FOR THIS LOT IS WHAT YOU WILL PAY!  No additional fees will apply!

Please also note that Apps like Pay-Pal, Venmo, Zelle, Google Pay, etc. are NOT available for Real Estate Transactions (Their Rule Not Mine) So I am unable to accept payment via these apps.

Please also note:  Local Pickup does not apply, Deed will be recorded in Osceola County at MY expense.  You as the Buyer will only pay the purchase price--not one penny more!  I will pay all deed preparation and recording fees.  

In most real estate transactions you will pay $500 or more for Deed preparation and recording, But not with my sales!  I will pay ALL THE FEES for preparing & recording the deed.  WHAT YOU PAY FOR THIS LOT IS WHAT YOU WILL PAY!  No additional fees will apply!

Will You Really Sell This Lot At That Low --Buy Now-- Price?

Absolutely, The First Person To Click on "Buy Now" And Pay Will Get This Great Deal.

What About An Escrow?

I am able to offer this lot at a deep discount by keeping the fees and costs low.  Escrow fees can easily run $400 to $500.  This is why I ask the Buyer to wire funds to my bank, OR send a cashiers check or money orders for the purchase price.  I am very trustworthy, Check out my feedback--well over 1,500 with 100% positive feedback!  However if you would like an escrow it can be provided at YOUR Expense.  Also if you desire an escrow please contact me BEFORE you click Buy Now!  

 

What About Title, What Type Of Deed Will I Receive?

You will receive a Quit Claim Deed which will transfer all of my interest in the property to you.  A Quit Claim Deed is a valid legal instrument that is used to transfer interest in real property—it is just as valid as any other type of deed.   

In fact, the most common deed used in Florida is a Quit Claim Deed. 

I use a Quit Claim Deed because I acquired this land via a Tax Deed.  As stated above, when someone purchases property via a Tax Deed they buy that property subject to the risk that at any time during the next four years the prior owner can file a lawsuit to attempt to challenge that Tax Deed.  Since I can not guarantee that the prior owner will not file a lawsuit to challenge the Tax Deed I must use a Quit Claim Deed to transfer the land to you. 

The Tax Deed which was issued by the Osceola County Tax Collector transferred 100% ownership of this land to me.  I am now the owner of the land.   When I record your Quit Claim Deed you will acquire all of my interest in this land, making you the new 100% owner of the land … in essence it would be just as if you had purchased the land from the Tax Collector yourself.  Because I purchased the land via a Tax Deed I assumed the risk of the Prior Owner filing a lawsuit to challenge said Tax Deed.  By purchasing this land from me via Quit Claim Deed you will be assuming that risk as well. 

Because legal and court fees are expensive (about $2,500) it is very, very rare for a prior owner to try to overturn a Tax Deed, especially on lower priced properties; however it is a risk that you are assuming.

Please keep in mind, one of the reasons this land is aggressively priced is because it was acquired via a tax deed.

Also, please note that the prior owner has not paid property taxes in over 8 years, so it is very, very unlikely that the prior owner would try to chalange the tax deed.

The Tax Deed On Parcel This Lot Was Recorded On 03/06/2023, So The Four Year Period Will End On 03/06/2027.

 

What About The Property Taxes?

The 2022 Taxes Have Been PAID!,

The New Owner Will Be Responsible To Pay The 2023 Taxes,

The 2023 Taxes Are Not Due Until March 2024!

The 2022 Taxes Were Only $12.23 For The Entire Year! 

 

What About Liens or Mortgages?

I acquired this land in a Tax Lien Foreclosure.  The Tax Lien Foreclosure / Tax Deed Process eliminates virtually all mortgages and liens.  ONLY IRS LIENS and some City/County/State liens can remain.  

IRS Liens as well as City/County/State Liens are part of the Public Record in Florida.  By entering the prior owner's name into the clerk of court's public records search the record will emerge. 

Please do your own due diligence, the prior owner's name is Margaret M. Karol.

I have attached photos of the Property Information Report that was used in the Tax Deed Foreclosure, as well as a photo of the Prior Owner's Public Record.

The Prior Owner's Public Records are Super Clean, I did not see any IRS, City, County or State Liens.   

I am Not A U.S. Citizen Can I Buy The Lot?

Sure, I welcome International Buyers, but I do have some requirements.  If you are a foreign buyer you MUST pay by either wiring funds to my bank (in U.S. Dollars) OR obtain a cashiers check from CITIBANK, CHASE, WELLS FARGO or BANK of AMERICA and pay in US Dollars.  You must send the funds via a method like priority international mail with tracking availability.  Once your funds have cleared I will prepare a quit claim deed and send it to Osceola County to be recorded.  I will pay ALL THE FEES for preparing and recording the deed.  Deed will be returned to you by normal international mail (no tracking).   You can also access The County Clerk of Court website to print a copy of the deed once it is recorded.  Future property tax bills will be mailed to you by the county, or can be paid online.

It Seems To Good To Be True, What's The Catch?

I have tax lien certificates in over 40 counties in Florida.  As a result of dealing with such a huge number of tax liens I occasionally will acquire a property for just the un-paid taxes and fees.  When I acquire a property my only interest is to liquidate the property and reinvest the funds as quickly as possible.  Because my cost to acquire the property is low it means I can pass along a great deal to you!

If I know of ANY defects in the property I will ALWAYS disclose them to you.

Why Don't You Sell The Property In The "Normal" Way?

I choose to sell via Ebid to avoid fees.  When Selling the "Normal" way, the Realtor commissions, Escrow and Other Fees can easily exceed $2,500.  If I sell here on Ebid I can avoid most of these fees and pass a great deal along to you!  Also, time is money!  Selling vacant land at Full Retail Prices usually takes a very long time.  I would much rather sell quickly and reinvest the proceeds into more Tax Liens.
