Buy the tax deed on a tax delinquent property at this month's auction & you could own that prpoerty six months later.  Tax deeds auctioned can be redeemed (repaid) by the property’s original owner, with interest, but if not, the buyer takes title to the property following the mandatory redemption period.  You can see the list of properties (subject to change) and read more details regarding the auction on the city of Hartford’s website  Here
