Questions

Can anyone buy a government home in Georgia?

Yes. Treasury and IRS auctions are open to the public (Treasury needs a deposit and online registration). USDA REO homes are bought through a real estate agent; USDA foreclosure sales are run by a trustee. Each listing's official page has the terms.

Is Georgia a tax lien or a tax deed state?

Georgia is a redeemable deed state. The maximum rate set by law is 20% premium in year one, 10% for each later year. Rules differ by county: check the county's own page before a sale.
