Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We regularly purchase properties with delinquent property taxes. In fact, this is one of our core specialties. We understand the Michigan tax foreclosure process and can work with you to resolve tax delinquencies—whether that means purchasing the property, paying off the taxes as part of a solution, or connecting you with alternative options.

If you miss the March 31, 2026 deadline, the county can initiate tax foreclosure proceedings. This means the county takes ownership of your property, and you lose all equity. The foreclosure becomes public record, which can impact your credit and future ability to own property. However, even after foreclosure proceedings begin, options may still exist. The key is to act before the deadline if possible.

Yes. We have experience purchasing properties that are in various stages of probate. We can work with estate attorneys and personal representatives to structure transactions that accommodate the probate process. In some cases, we can close even before probate is fully administered through appropriate estate sale mechanisms.

We regularly handle properties with mechanics liens, judgment liens, HOA arrears, and other encumbrances. We can often structure deals that pay off or resolve these liens as part of the transaction. Every situation is unique—we'll review your specific circumstances and present the options that make sense for your situation.

We purchase properties with code violations regularly. Unlike traditional buyers who require properties to pass inspection, we buy properties as-is. Whether the violations are minor repair orders or major structural concerns, we have the expertise to evaluate the property and structure a solution that works.

Title problems are one of our specialties. We handle clouded titles, chain-of-title breaks, unreleased prior mortgages, missing heirs, boundary disputes, and other title defects regularly. We work with title attorneys and experts to resolve these issues and clear title for transfer.

No. We buy properties as-is. You don't need to clean, repair, or do anything to the property before we purchase it. We'll handle everything after the sale. This is one of the key benefits of working with us—we take the property in whatever condition it's in.

No. Acquire, Inc. is a real estate investment company. We are not real estate agents and we do not list properties for sale. We buy properties directly. This means we can make fast, certain offers and close quickly—without the delays and uncertainties of listing on the market.
