Why I like tax lien investing…

I like tax lien investing best because I don’t have to do any negotiation with property owners, and I don’t have to deal with tenants, toilets, and termites, and I don’t need much money to start out with. There are different strategies for buying tax liens, but not all of them lead to profitable deals.

Here are the 3 ways that I’ve made money from investing in tax liens.

1. Buying tax liens at the auction – live or online
2. Buying tax liens from another investor (secondary market liens)
3. Investing in a tax lien fund

For this article I’ll focus on the number 1 way that I’ve made money with tax liens and that is buying tax liens at the auction – whether it’s live or online. I want to talk about this first because this is the very first method I used and I did this exclusively for the first few years. It was my experience of buying liens at the tax sale that gave me the knowledge I needed to successfully use the other 2 strategies.

And yes, when I started back in 2002, I did make some mistakes. You know what, that is how I learned how to do it correctly. I learned by my own mistakes and mistakes that I saw other investors make. I put together a step-by-step system that I followed to avoid those mistakes and profit every time I bought a tax lien certificate at the tax sale. I started  teaching this system to my students, and eventually I even wrote a book about it that became an Amazon best seller.

If you’ve bought tax liens and you haven’t made any profit, or worse, you’ve actually lost money on your investment, or if you haven’t invested in tax lien certificates yet because
you’re not sure how to get started, then today I have something to help you. Something to help you make sure that you only invest in profitable tax liens whenever you go to a tax sale, whether it’s a live sale or an online auction.

Tax Lien Investing Is Easier If You’re NOT A Real Estate Investor

Posted on April 3, 2018 by Joanne

Here’s why tax lien investing is easier if your not a real estate investor? 

Real estate investors are concerned about the value of the house, or building, that is on a parcel. Even some tax lien investors have a formula they use, that the assessment of building or improvement on the property has to be a certain percentage of the total assessment value. They only want to purchase liens on properties that have a greater improvement assessed value than the land assessment value. They want to be sure that building is valuable, in case they are able to get the property.

That’s good, but here’s what they’re missing. Continue reading →

What’s Wrong With Tax Deeds?

houses for pennies on the dollar?What’s wrong with tax deeds? And Is there a better way to buy real estate at deeply discounted prices?

First let’s discuss the problems with buying tax deeds, and then we’ll talk about another, better way to invest in properties for 65% or less of the after repaired market value. The first problem with buying tax delinquent properties is that more often than not, these are extremely distressed properties that need a lot of rehab. They often need to be cleaned out and then have some major rehab work done to them, which could include fixing water damage, repairing the roof, replacing plumbing and appliances, not to mention painting and updating.
