If you thought that properties held by the government are not for sale, think again. Abandoned property kept by the government are usually auctioned off. In fact, not only is buying these properties is a fairly easy task; they can also be purchased at major discounts. The common misconception is that the kinds of abandoned property at government auctions are usually decrepit and undesirable houses and bungalows. Most of the time this is true, but other structures like warehouses and office buildings are usually auctioned off. A property is considered abandoned if its owner does not meet tax payments and other obligations.

Since any property bought from government auctions can be resold, this is a simple way you can be a real estate speculator. Many people have made millions buying and selling abandoned property, even if they haven’t visited it after the initial evaluation.
