The catch is that they're either heavily damaged, massively in arrears on taxes, or that this is a marketing ploy, or some combination thereof.

Would I owe those taxes? Additionally, if it is heavily damaged, is it still worth it if I get a whole house for the price of a year's rent?

As kindly as I can put this - if you can't do your own research sufficient to answer those questions (especially the second, which is extraordinarily subjective and for which you have provided no baseline for your skillset with regard to repair), then you're going to have a bad time.

Don’t do it man. No offense but your knowledge seems super limited. Educate yourself on this process a ton more than think about it.

Yes, you paying the outstanding taxes will be part of the purchase terms.

Depends on how much work it needs. It might cost you the equivalent of a house to repair.

Angry cops on YouTube has a series (this old crack house) where he buys one of these houses. That might give you insights at a possibility of what’s in store
