Property taxes aren't usually a massive amount. If it's not possible to borrow money from a friend or family member then better to sell the place to someone you know than to let them auction it off.
Anybody who buys a decent house in Los Angeles or San Francisco has a property tax bill over $2,000 per month.
Holy shit! That is fucking insane. You could rent a 5 bedroom house for less than that in the suburb I live in, and I live in a good upper middle class area.
For example:

Scroll down to the property taxes.
They let you go for like 3 or 4 years iirc. It's not a crazy amount but 4 years of taxes can easily be A lot more than many people can afford. Uhg this reminds me I have to pay my property taxes. God I hate doing that.
Why do people insist on paying taxes to a government that clearly doesn’t represent them or their interests?
