Surplus Funds / Overages
Overages or Surplus Funds – It's like finding treasure after the auction! When a property is sold at a tax deed auction and the winning bid exceeds the opening bid, the extra funds—called overages—go into the county’s pocket. If the original owner doesn’t claim these funds within a certain time frame (and trust us, it varies by state), you could be the one to collect. But this isn’t a one-size-fits-all gig. The rules differ from state to state, and there’s a lot to navigate—individuals vs. LLCs, expiration periods, how much to charge, and what to say to the prospect. With our one-on-one coaching, we’ll break it all down for you and help you claim your piece of the pie. This can be a very lucrative side hustle when you know what you're doing—get the right guidance, and you’ll be cashing in on overages in no time!
