If you want to invest successfully in tax liens or tax deeds, then where you invest makes a difference. Where you invest can make the difference between being successful and being shut out by the competition. Or it could make the difference between getting liens at great interest rates and liens that cost you money.
Why Where You Invest Matters
Recently I went to a tax sale in New Jersey where I was able to get 9 tax liens, and 6 of them where at 18%. If you’ve been to tax sales in New Jersey, you know that most of them are very competitive. So what’s my strategy? As I’ve mentioned in other articles, I like to target out of the way places. Areas that are rural and at least an hour away from major cities.
What Else To Look For to Invest Successfully in Tax Liens
I also like to go to sales on days that there are a few tax sales on the same day, the more the merrier. Why? Because some of the big fund companies don’t have enough bidders to cover all the tax sales. And if there are a few on the same day, they are likely to attend the sales with larger tax liens and more tax lien available. So I also like the tax sales that don’t have any really large liens (over $10,000) and that don’t have a lot of liens available in the auction.
I also target properties that not everyone else is after. If you bid on only residential properties, you are likely to get outbid by the competition every time. The trick is to look for the right type of properties. Properties that some of the big players don’t want but are either likely to redeem or be easy to sell. All of the liens that I got at the tax sale I mentioned are on vacant land. They are all residential building lots that have great valuation.
One More Thing To Look Out For
There is one more thing that you want to keep in mind, especially if you are doing the online tax sales and don’t really know the area. Some cities in New Jersey (and this goes for other states as well) have very high crime. There are good and bad areas in every city, but if you don’t know the area and that city has high crime rates, you don’t want to invest there. Property values will be low in the high crime areas. And if you do get the property it will not be easy to sell.
