The Top 5 States For Tax Lien Investing

Want to know which are the top 5 states for tax lien investing?

One question that I get frequently from subscribers to my TaxLienLady.com website is “Where is the best place to invest in tax liens?” So here are what I consider to be the top 5 states for tax lien investing.

Texas

Texas is actually not tax lien state, but a redeemable deed state. The nice thing about purchasing a redeemable deed though, is that you get a penalty when the deed redeems, not an annualized interest rate as you do with liens. This means that it doesn’t matter when the deed redeems, you get the full penalty, not a fraction thereof. And in Texas the penalty is 25% in the first 6 months, 50% in the first year.

Financial Forecast From An Expert

I am not a finacial expert. I don’t know much about the economy or the stock market. So I rely on a experts that really know about these things. They might not agree on everything, but they do agree that the ecomomy and the stock market are in for another major downfall.

Harry Dent is one of the experts that I pay attention to. Financial professionals and investors have trusted the research and recommendations from his company, H.S. Dent for the last 2 decades. So you might want to listen to what they he has to say. He has just announced a new book “The Great Crash Ahead,” that will hit the shelves on September 20th. His book can be pre-ordered from Amazon.

To find out more Mr. Dents predictions for the market and the economy, you can have a look at his latest youtube video below.

If you’re a baby boomer like me, with 10 years or less until retirement, you’re not going to want to rely on the stock market in these uncertain times. I’d like to suggest that now might be a good time to invest in tax lien certificates. Did you know that you can use the money in a self-directed IRA to buy tax liens? I can’t think of a safer way to invest your retirement money right now. Need help getting started, or just want to find out more about tax lien investing.
