The holiday season in Pittsburgh is usually a time for family, football, and festivities. But if you’ve been opening your mail only to find mounting property tax notices or “Intent to Foreclose” letters, it’s hard to feel the holiday spirit.
When you owe back taxes, the end of the year isn’t just a celebration—it feels like a deadline. As January 1st approaches, the weight of another year of interest, penalties, and the fear of a tax sale can become overwhelming.
At Eminel Buys Houses Fast (Boss Lady Investment Group), we talk to homeowners every week who feel trapped by their tax bill. Here is the good news: You can settle your tax debt and walk away with cash in your pocket before the ball drops on New Year’s Eve.
The Reality of Back Taxes in the New Year
Staying in a house with delinquent taxes often feels like running on a treadmill that keeps getting faster.
- Interest Pile-up: Penalties and interest accrue monthly. What started as a manageable bill can quickly balloon out of control.
- The Auction Threat: Once a property is listed for a tax sale or a judicial sale, your options begin to disappear.
- The “New Year” Reset: On January 1st, a new tax cycle begins. If you don’t sell now, you’re effectively signing up for another year of liability on a property that is already costing you too much.
How We Help You Start Fresh
Selling a house with back taxes the “traditional” way is nearly impossible. Most buyers won’t touch a house with a tax lien, and real estate agents may struggle to find a buyer willing to wait for the legal title work to be cleared.
We do things differently. We are local Pittsburgh investors who specialize in “messy” situations.
- We Pay the Taxes at Closing: You don’t need to come up with the cash to pay your back taxes to sell to us. We settle the debt directly with the county out of the sale proceeds.
- We Buy “As-Is”: Don’t worry about fixing the roof or painting the walls to attract a buyer. We want the house exactly as it sits today.
- We Move Fast: We can often close in as little as 7 days. This means you can have your taxes paid off and a check in your hand before the New Year even begins.
Give Yourself the Gift of a Clean Slate
You don’t have to carry this financial burden into next year. Imagine sitting down for dinner on January 1st knowing that the tax man is no longer calling, the house is no longer your problem, and you have the cash you need for a fresh start.
Whether you’re facing a tax sale, dealing with an inherited property you can’t afford, or just tired of the stress, we are here to help.
