From The Field: Monroe County PA Judical Tax Sale

Posted on June 7, 2013 by Joanne

auctionI went to the Monroe County PA ‘Judicial’ Tax Sale this past week. Many counties in Pennsylvania have 2 tax sales. The ‘Upset’ tax sale – which is usually held in the fall and the ‘Judicial’ tax that is held some time afterward, usually in the spring. If you purchase a property in the Upset tax sale, you are responsible for any liens or judgments on the property, but if you purchase a property in the Judicial tax sale, those properties are sold ‘free and clear’ of liens and judgments. There are some liens however that will remain on a property purchased in this tax sale. Any municipal, state, or other government lien will remain. Everything else, as long as proper notification has been made will be wiped out by the tax sale. Continue reading →

The 3 Most Profitable States For Tax Lien Investing

Posted on May 23, 2013 by Joanne

calculatorWhat Are the 3 most profitable states for tax lien investing?

None of the 3 most profitable states for tax lien investing have online tax sales. You have to show up in person at the tax sale, or have an agent do it for you. Two of the top three are not even tax lien states, they’re redeemable deed states.

What’s a Redeemable Deed?

A redeemable tax deed is like a regular tax deed, except that the original property owner can come back and redeem the property from the tax deed perchaser. In order to redeem the property the original owner must pay the bid price plus a hefty penalty, which varies according to the state. Continue reading →

Online Tax Sales With Short Redemptions

Posted on May 11, 2013 by Joanne

Online Tax Sales

May is the month for the Florida online tax sales, but there are a few problems with the online tax sales in Florida. The interest rate at the Florida tax sales is typically bid down to .25%, and Florida counties allow investors to have sub-accounts, which give the institutional buyers a great advantage over the small investor. But even if you manage to buy a tax lien at a decent rate in one of the Florida tax sales, the redemption period is 2 years, and you may have to wait out the redemption period before getting paid on your lien. So how can you make money in the online tax lien sales without having to wait 2 years or more to get paid? Continue reading →
