First-time investor seeking tax lien / deed advice

Member since 2024 · 1 post · 0 votes

Hello! I'm just starting my real estate investment journey and would like to hear form investors who have used tax liens and deeds as part of their acquisition or investment strategy.  How successful was it (or not)?  Was training helpful? What training providers have a good reputation in this area?

    Can achieve high returns due to interest and penalties (8%-36% annually for tax liens).

    Can buy properties at 20%–60% of market value.

    Entry prices can be low, especially for tax liens.

    Lengthy Redemption Periods-You can face waiting periods (6 months–3 years) before taking possession 

    Undisclosed liens, environmental issues, or structural problems can drastically increase costs.

    Auctions, especially online, can be competitive, reducing potential returns.

    Navigating county records, legal procedures, and filing paperwork can be challenging.

    structured education significantly improves outcomes, particularly avoiding mistakes.

    education helps with understanding local laws: processes vary widely by state and county.

    and proper due diligence: evaluating title reports, lien positions, and property conditions.

    and learning effective bidding strategies.

    Common Pitfalls without training can be miscalculating holding periods and returns.

    Overlooking hidden property or title issues.

    I cant recommend any training providers that I know about. 

    Goodluck.
