Don’t Lose Money on Your Tax Lien Investments!

don't-lose-money-on-your-tax-lienDon’t lose money on your tax lien investments! Tax lien and tax deed investing, can be very profitable. Tax Lien investing is a way that you can save your money at interest rates that you just can’t get in a bank CD anymore, or even with savings bonds. And it’s more secure than the stock market because it’s not a speculative investment. There is real property backing it up. But did you know that you can lose money on  your tax lien or tax deed if…

  • You choose the wrong place to invest
  • You buy liens or deeds on the wrong properties
  • You fail to carry out the state specific responsibilities of the tax lien or tax deed holder after you purchase a tax lien or deed?

There are different reasons that people come to me for mentoring or coaching to invest in tax liens or tax deeds. Some just don’t know how to get started and want to learn the ropes and do it correctly. Others want to find the best places to invest and have access to the tools and resources that help them pick the right properties to bid on without putting in a lot of time and effort. And others come to me so that they can avoid costly mistakes. Mistakes like not following the state specific responsibilities of the tax lien or tax deed buyer after they purchase a tax lien or tax deed.

Protecting your investment after you purchase a tax lien or tax deed is the topic of our next tax lien investing workshop on Saturday, June 26 from 1-3pm Eastern time. Our workshops are live virtual trainings conducted via Zoom. Workshop attendees will get the opportunity to ask questions about the specific procedures that must be followed in the state or states that they invest in. You’ll learn exactly what you have to do to protect your profit and maximize your return on your tax lien or tax deed after you purchase.

This workshop is for investors who have already purchased their first liens or deeds, as well as for newbies who are just getting started and haven’t actually purchased anything yet. By learning what is required of you after you buy a lien or deed, you’ll know the what the real cost of investing is and what your profit will be based on your total investment, not just what you have to pay at the tax sale.

The workshop will include a workbook and handout that you can print out to have with you during the training. It will be recorded and the recording and all materials will be provided on a training website to all registrants. Get all the details and register at https://taxlienlady.com/protect-your-profit.

How to Protect Your Profit After You Buy a Tax Lien or Tax Deed

redeemable-tax-deed

 

It is true that doing your due diligence is the most important step for investing in tax liens or tax deeds. Doing it properly can lead to lots of profit while ignoring this step of tax lien or deed investing could cost you! But did you know that what you do after you purchase a tax lien or tax deed is just as important and what you do before you buy?

There are different steps that you must take to secure your investment depending on what type of vehicle (tax lien, tax deed, or redeemable tax deed) you purchase and which state you invest in.

Here is a list of things that you may need to do after you buy a tax lien or tax deed in some states:

  • record the lien or deed with the county clerk
  • send state specific noticing to the property owners and any lienholders
  • do a title search
  • pay subsequent taxes
  • clear the title to the property (tax foreclosed properties in most states)
  • secure the property (deeds only)
  • tax deed application (TDA) – Florida liens

This is just a list of the some of the responsibilities of the tax lien or tax deed buyer in the most popular states for investing. But each state has it’s own requirements that the investor must follow in order to protect their investment. What could happen if the investor fails to do what is required? Well, they could lose their investment!

That’s right, you could lose any money (and time) that you put into purchasing a tax lien or deed if you don’t follow through on the state specific responsibilities for tax lien or tax deed buyers.

Here’s an example…

I had someone offer me a couple of secondary liens in New Jersey that they wanted to sell. In New Jersey, recording of the lien is required within a 3 month period after purchasing it at the tax sale. These liens I was looking into buying were about 2 years old, which means they could be foreclosed on right away.

I did my due diligence on the properties and saw that one of them was a very desirable property in a nice town in South Jersey. So, I asked the seller to send me a copy of the certificate. When I saw the copy of the tax sale certificate, I knew there was a problem, and I would not be able to purchase.

The problem was that the lien had never been recorded. And it was way past the 3 month window that the investor had to record it. Normally this would not be a real big problem, but in this case the property had changed hands since the lien was purchased at the tax sale. And because the lien had not been recorded, it was not paid off when the property was sold.

As a result, the lien is now un-enforceable, hence worthless. The shame it is that the investor could have paid the $50 necessary to record the lien and that would have saved him the $5000 that he paid for the lien. And he would made 18% per year plus a 4% penalty on that $5000 (another $2000!). That’s why it’s so important to know the rules before you invest!

Why Some Investors Profit From Tax Liens And Others Don’t

profit from tax liens

Why do some people profit from tax liens or investing in tax deeds and for others it seems that their just not able to make money? I believe it’s a matter of these things…

  • Choosing the right tax sales to bid
  • Choosing the right properties to bid on
  • Knowing how to protect your investment and maximize your return
  • Being able to quickly and easily research properties
  • Having a winning strategy

The Easy Way vs. The Hard Way

You can choose the easy way or the hard way to invest. Sometimes what seems like the easy way to profit from tax liens is actually the hard way. What do I mean by that? Some people think that the easy way to profit from tax liens is to buy the left over or “over the counter” (OTC) liens or deeds. This is not the easy way, this is the hard way. It’s the hard way for the following reasons:

  1. Not all counties sell over the counter liens or deeds
  2. Most of what is left over are junk properties
  3. It is a very time consuming process because you have to do your due diligence very carefully

Investing For Success May 2021

We just did an Investing For Success Conference on tax lien investing earlier this month and in this 3 and half hour recorded event 5 experts in the tax lien investing field talked about strategies that actually work for buying profitable tax liens. We covered….

  • How to easily research the properties in the tax sale so that you can choose the right properties to bid on
  • A faster way to clear the title to your tax foreclosed properties so that you can sell them and profit faster from your investment
  • How to buy tax liens on properties that are ready to foreclose now and get properties for cash flow
  • A platform for buying and selling tax secondary tax liens, where you can put your buy orders in or sell “shares” of your liens

Plus I did a Q & A session and a training on how to easily find out what tax sales are coming up all over the country and pick the right properties to bid on. Some of the experts even gave away valuable gifts or discounts on their services.

How Do You Solve This Tax Lien Investing Problem?

Have you come across this tax lien investing problem? I’m currently doing a Done With You training for the Maryland online tax lien sales, and one of my students had this question about researching the parcels in the tax sale:

“Properties are often offered without an exact address and despite google etc., they are often undefinable. Is there a link where you can enter parcel IDs and/or where you can take a closer look at the land (including whether it is building land or green space)?”

In the video below you can find out the answer to this question and get a sneak peak at the tools and resources that students have access to in this training…
