Profit Faster From Tax Liens With a Self-directed IRA
By jMusa | August 20, 2010
I am not a financial planner or adviser. Far From it! I’m just an average investor,like you, but I know something about investing in tax liens. I also like to spend all of the money I make, and maybe a little more. But I like to spend some of that money on investments – tax liens for the most part.
OK, so I have a little problem that maybe you can relate to – I think that most Americans can. I like to spend all of my money. So when a tax lien gets redeemed instead of reinvesting that money, as I know that I should, I have a tendency to use it to pay for things. Not extravagant things, but things like paying off unexpected bills, college tuition for my kids, or to pay off some credit card debt. Read the rest of this entry »

Tax Lien Investing: Can You Get Double Digit Returns Without Doing Any Work?
By jMusa | August 13, 2010
Tax lien investing is a great way to save for the future; it’s a very good alternative to investing in mutual funds. With tax liens, you don’t have to worry about the volatility in the market. The stock market or real estate market can go up or down, but your rate of return stays the same. Another advantage to tax lien investing is that you can do it yourself without paying any brokerage fees. But what if you don’t have the time or the inclination to learn how to invest in tax liens profitably? Are there ways that you can invest in tax liens without doing all of the work yourself, and without having to attend the tax sale?

Tax Lien Investing: What Is A Redeemable Deed And How Does It Differ From A Tax Lien?
By jMusa | July 27, 2010
Most investors know the difference between a tax lien and tax deed. They understand that when they purchase a tax lien they are not buying the property, but paying the taxes on a tax delinquent property and putting a lien on the property so that if the property owner doesn’t pay the amount of the lien plus interest and penalties, in a given amount of time (the redemption period) they can foreclose on the property. And they understand that when they go to a tax deed sale and purchase a tax deed, they are actually purchasing the property. But many would be tax lien investors do not understand what a redeemable tax deed is and how it differs from a tax lien.
What Is a Redeemable Tax Deed?
A redeemable tax deed is something in between a tax lien and tax deed. When you go to a redeemable tax deed sale, you are actually purchasing the deed to the property. If you are the successful bidder, you will receive a tax deed to the property. That deed, however, is encumbered for a period of time known as the redemption period (not to be confused with the redemption period for tax liens). The owner can redeem the property by paying the amount that was bid for the deed at the tax sale plus a hefty penalty. If the deed is not redeemed during the redemption period then the previous owner is barred from redeeming the property and the tax deed holder is the owner of record and the legal owner of the property.
