One of the most frequent questions that a get about investing in tax liens and tax deeds is “How do I find out about tax sales?”

In other words how to you know what tax sales are coming up, where they are held, and how do you get the tax sale information, including the list of properties in the sale.

Tax sales, whether for tax liens or tax deeds are usually conducted as auctions. They are usually held by the county, but sometimes by the municipality (in the Northeast), or a law firm (in Texas). One way to find these sales is to search the county website. If you would like to have your work made easier for you and be able to find out what tax sales are coming up and where they are held, without having to check every county that you want to invest in, then you may want to pay for a service that lets you do this.

The Resource I Use to Find Out About Tax Sales 

The resource I use to find out what tax sales are coming up across the country and get the tax sale information, is Tax Sale Resources. It lets me do a custom search for tax sales nationwide. I can search for online tax sales coming up in the next month or counties that have over the counter tax deeds. And I also have access to the procedures and laws in each state, and links to county web sites to do my due diligence. A free membership to Tax Sale Resources is included with a subscription to the Tax Lien Profits Accelerator™.

If however, you are actually looking for a web site where you can bid on tax liens or tax deeds online, I do have a free resource for you. It’s my 16 Tax Sale Websites Swipe File and you can get it at http://taxlieninvestingsecrets.com/sweet16.  Included with the swipe file is a step-by-step training video and a 5 point tax lien investing check list to get you started.
