Today I’ve got quick video on the Pros and Cons of Investing in Tax Sale Properties. Tax Sale vs. Tax Lien – Tax Lien A lien in general is a claim or security of interest placed on personal property to secure the repayment of debt. Therefore, a tax lien is a lien imposed by Federal or state law to secure payment of back taxes. As the investor: You buy the rights to the money owed in taxes and the interest and penalties that have accrued. – Tax Sale: (also known as aa ‘Tax Deed Sale’) Refers to property, in this case real estate, being sold by a taxing authority or the court to recover delinquent taxes. This is commonly done by Auction. As the investor: You are buying the rights to the property itself. – Return on Investment Tax Lien: Allow you to earn high interest rates on your investment – When delinquent property owner “redeems” the lien you get your initial investment PLUS a guaranteed percentage interest. The interests vary by state. – Average 12-24% interest per annum – as high as 50% Tax Sale: Deed sales transfer full property rights to your name. – Average Purchase Price 30-60 cents on the dollar – Tax Value = Purchase Price – Right of Redemption: Gives the right to the original homeowner to reclaim their property during a

      Love your video it seemed to really release most of any doubts I would have. I would gather have a decent bank account to be prepared for any unknowns but the recommendations to do your research on the property really helped as well. Send any other info you think would help. oh yes Do you have to have any special licenses to do this activity.

      @aslangroudi – We actually have a TON of articles on our website that cover Tax Sales/Foreclosures. I guarantee you will find your answer there. If you use the “search” feature in the top right, simply type in “Tax Lien Articles” or “Tax Foreclosure Articles”. Thanks for your question!

      @DancingSpiderman – It’s actually a thrift shirt.(Arizona Brand?) I like to go thrifting in Austin. You find some really fun shirts for a great price!

      Remember about competition. That will bring your chances to profit maybe to 10% if you lucky. And you have chance to hit the trap at least in 50% of tax sale inventory.

      Who knows what states still do tax lien certificates? I used to do it in Michigan but they changed to a tax sale/auction method. I want to buy tax liens.

    18. aslangroudi says:

      I don’t get it….could you perhaps use some numbers to illustrate a typical tax sale for 100k or some way to make it clearer how these properties are sold for such a discount at 30-60 cents on the dollar? Perhaps when you add that 30-60 cents to the existing loans it is typical to the price of buying other deals on the market?  Thanks in advance for any help.
