There is a waterfront property for sale privately just down the road from the tax sale on Rice Lake.  I called about it, he is asking $500,000.00, it is 200ft of frontage, house, garage, septic, well,and has a boat house at the water.  He said it was hard sandy bottom and not to weedy if you  maintain it (sounds like Lake Scugog). Anyone who does not win the Tax Sale can pick this one up!!!  It might be a bargain in comparison.

Did a drive by of the property on Rice lake and it definetly qualifies for a Tax Sale.  I did see a person (Camera Guy) taking photos of the property and also entering the cottage.  Hopefully this is not the same idiot who got stuck in the Madoc driveway.  Lets not be stupid.
Does anybody think there would be any issues with relocating the drainage ditch in the middle of the property?  I like g2020s assessment at $15,000.00

Thanks for the info.  We downloaded a free program (Kindle for PC) from the amazon website and then were able to download the book. There is a ton knowledge to be gained  and would recommend it to any one interested in real estate.

Hi my name is Heather and I've been one of the surfers (lurkers) on this website for a few months now. I live in Port Perry and noticed a tax sale in our newspaper and decided to find out what a tax sale was. I found this forum and read every post on it.
My husband Bill and I decided to put an offer in on this property.  We knew it was a really nice property, with a lot of potential.  The tax sale process was new to us and found the forum answered most of our questions.  We thought this would be a great learning experience especially with it being in our home town.  My husband Bill went to the opening of the bids on the BIG DAY!  They opened our bid first and about nine others after. WE WON!  There was $6000.00 difference from our winning bid to the second bid.  It was very very exciting! 

Rob and all the regular contributors make this forum a gold mine of information.  Heather and Bill thank you all and we will try to participate in the future.
