A Sacramento man blew himself up inside his own home after losing it in a tax auction
....turning one seized property into a deadly symbol of the ugly surprises that can come with bargain real estate deals.
"Sacramento County warns bidders that tax auction properties carry significant risks.
Buyers are told they may not be able to inspect homes before bidding, may not be able to enter them, and may discover after the fact that someone is still living inside."
“There may be someone living in the property you purchased,” the county warns in its tax sale information.
That warning is no small detail. Winning bidders can spend thousands of dollars, only to find themselves responsible for dealing with former owners, tenants, or other occupants who have not left the property."
He did the right thing
Running a no-inspection auction is attempted fraud. You will never see that in court but it is true.
