Investing In Tax Liens Online

Posted on December 1, 2009 by Joanne

One of the biggest concerns for new tax lien investors is how can they purchase tax liens without going to the tax lien auction. Many people don’t have the time freedom to attend the tax sale and not every state conducts tax lien sales. What if you live in a state that does not sell tax liens, or if you don’t live in the United States, how can you invest in tax liens?

That’s why a lot of new tax lien investors are attracted to the idea of investing in tax liens online. They want to be able to purchase tax liens from their computer without having to attend a physical tax sale auction. It’s easy to register and bid at these tax sales online and many counties also have resources for you to research the properties online as well.

Posted on November 17, 2009 by Joanne

I went to 2 tax sales this morning and got no liens. At the first sale I went to I only opened my mouth to bid once.

tax-lien-investing-basicsAre You Stalled In Your Investing?

Are you stalled in your tax lien investing because you think you need to know more before you get started? Tax lien investing is really not that complex. You just need to follow these 5 basic steps.

1. Choose where you will invest
The first step is to choose the state and county or counties that you want to invest in. Are you interested in investing in tax liens, tax deeds, or redeemable tax deeds? This will help to determine which state you will invest in. If you don’t live in a state that has the type of tax sales that you are interested in you may want to consider the online tax lien or tax deed sales. I believe that it’s best to invest in what you know, so if possible, pick an area that you are somewhat familiar with.

Tax Deed Investing: What is an Upset Sale?

Posted on September 10, 2009 by Joanne

In Pennsylvania, some counties have two different tax sales; the “upset” sale, and the “judicial” sale. If tax sale properties are not sold at either of these two sales, the property then goes on the “repository” list and can be sold by private bid. The upset sale is held every year in the fall. It’s called an “upset” sale because the minimum bid for the properties in this sale is known as the “upset” price; which includes any unpaid taxes from the county as well as any municipal liens. If a property is not sold in this sale, it is sold in the “judicial” tax sale in the spring. Not all Pennsylvania counties have judicial sales but they all have an upset sale.
