Important Property Source Disclosure
Angel REI Properties LLC acquires properties through Florida county tax deed sales.
This means the property may have a tax deed history before it is offered for resale. Tax deed-sourced properties can be affordable, but buyers should carefully review the property’s title history, taxes, access, zoning, utilities, flood zone, easements, restrictions, HOA/POA status, survey needs, and intended use before purchasing.

Step 1: Review Listings and Select a Property
Start by reviewing available properties on the Angel REI Properties website.
When reviewing a listing, pay attention to:
APN or parcel number
County and state
Parcel size
Legal description
Zoning
Access
Utilities
Flood zone
Estimated taxes
HOA/POA information if applicable
Cash price
Seller financing availability if offered
If you have questions or are ready to move forward, contact Angel REI Properties LLC to request more information and receive the Purchase Agreement for review.
Step 2: Understand the Tax Deed Source
Before moving forward, understand that Angel REI Properties LLC’s inventory comes from Florida county tax deed sales.
A tax deed source does not automatically mean a property is bad, but it does mean buyers should take due diligence seriously. Some properties may have recorded easements, restrictions, title history, county rules, access questions, or other issues that should be reviewed before purchase.
Buyers should not rely only on listing photos, maps, or seller descriptions. Always verify property details independently.
Step 3: Review the Purchase Agreement
If you decide to move forward, Angel REI Properties LLC will provide a Purchase Agreement for your review.
The Purchase Agreement should identify:
Buyer and seller
Property APN or parcel number
County and state
Legal description
Purchase price
Earnest money deposit
Due diligence period
Closing process
Conveyance by Special Warranty Deed
Buyer responsibilities
Seller disclosures
Any additional terms
Do not sign until you understand the agreement. If you have questions about the legal effect of any document, consult a Florida real estate attorney.
Step 4: Submit State ID and Earnest Money Deposit
After reviewing the Purchase Agreement, if you decide to proceed, you will send:
A copy of your state ID, front and back
A $500 earnest money deposit
The earnest money deposit places the property in pending status. Angel REI Properties LLC will send the payment link to your email.
Step 5: Complete Your 15-Day Due Diligence Period
You have 15 days from the date you sign the Purchase Agreement to inspect and research the property at your own expense.
During this period, buyers should verify:
Title history and recorded documents
Liens, easements, restrictions, and encumbrances
Legal description and APN
Property boundaries and survey needs
County zoning and permitted uses
Road access and ingress/egress
Utilities, power, well, septic, and service availability
Flood zone and wetlands
Property taxes and special assessments
HOA/POA rules if applicable
Building requirements and permits
Whether the property fits your intended use
Angel REI Properties LLC encourages buyers to contact the county property appraiser, county clerk or recorder, county tax collector, zoning/planning department, utility providers, surveyors, title professionals, and attorneys when needed.
Step 6: Buyer Due Diligence Disclosure Statement
If you are satisfied with the property and choose to proceed, Angel REI Properties LLC will send a Buyer Due Diligence Disclosure Statement by e-signature.
This confirms that you understand your responsibility to complete due diligence and that you are purchasing the property based on your own review.
Step 7: Pay the Remaining Balance
If you complete due diligence and are ready to close, you will pay the remaining purchase price balance plus the applicable document fee.
This payment begins the deed preparation and closing process.
Step 8: Deed Preparation and Recording
For a standard in-house cash closing, Angel REI Properties LLC will prepare a Special Warranty Deed according to your grantee vesting instructions.
The standard in-house process is:
Angel REI Properties LLC prepares the Special Warranty Deed.
The deed is notarized.
A copy of the notarized deed is sent to you for your records.
The original notarized deed is submitted for county recording.
After the deed is recorded, the recorded deed is mailed or provided to you.
Step 9: Optional Title Company Process
If you prefer title insurance, a warranty deed, or a title company closing, you may choose to use a title company at your own expense.
This option may take longer and may include additional title review, title certification, underwriting requirements, closing fees, and document preparation.
Buyers should ask the title company what is covered, what is excluded, and whether any additional steps are needed because the property was originally acquired through a Florida tax deed sale.
Step 10: Complete the Purchase
Once the deed is recorded, or once the title company closes the transaction if you choose that option, you officially complete your cash purchase.
Final Buyer Reminder
Angel REI Properties LLC wants buyers to move forward with clarity. Before buying any Florida land, verify zoning, access, utilities, property taxes, flood zone status, title, survey needs, HOA/POA, building requirements, and intended use.
All land is sold as-is. Buyers are responsible for completing their own due diligence before purchase.
