Question 1

Can I sell a house with tax liens?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We specialize in buying properties with tax liens. Traditional buyers can't get financing on properties with liens, but we buy with cash and pay off all liens at closing. You receive the remaining equity after lien satisfaction.

Question 2

What types of tax liens can you help with?

Accepted Answer

We handle all types: IRS federal tax liens, Idaho state tax liens, property tax arrears, and even multiple liens on the same property. We research all encumbrances and factor them into our offer.

Question 3

Will I receive any money after the liens are paid?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your equity. If your home is worth more than the total liens plus our costs, you receive the difference in cash at closing. Even if not, you walk away free from the tax debt without foreclosure.

Question 4

How do you handle IRS liens?

Accepted Answer

We work with title companies experienced in IRS lien payoffs. The IRS typically must provide a payoff letter, and we satisfy the lien at closing. This removes the lien from your property and often satisfies the underlying debt.

Question 5

What if I owe more in liens than my house is worth?

Accepted Answer

We may still be able to help. Sometimes we can negotiate with lien holders for less than the full amount. At minimum, selling resolves the property-related debt and prevents tax foreclosure.

Question 6

How long does selling with tax liens take?

Accepted Answer

Lien research and payoff coordination typically add a few days to our process. Most tax lien sales close in 14-21 days. IRS liens may take slightly longer due to federal procedures.

Question 7

Do I need to contact the IRS or tax agencies first?

Accepted Answer

No. We handle all communication with taxing authorities. We obtain payoff amounts, coordinate lien releases, and ensure everything is satisfied at closing. You don't need to negotiate with the IRS yourself.

Question 8

What happens to my credit after selling?

Accepted Answer

Satisfying tax liens is better for your credit than continued delinquency or tax foreclosure. Once liens are paid at closing, they show as satisfied on your record. This is the cleanest resolution for your financial future.
