County Tax Lien Investing for Beginners

Tax liens have been taboo for many years. Most investors don’t have a clue to what they are missing. I’ve seen many investors swimming in the same small pond.

Is it because they don’t know that tax lien investing is the most powerful niche in real estate?

Let’s take a closer look at the process of tax lien investing. First of all, a tax lien is a claim against real property. That mean that it is placed on real estate and takes the senior lien position.

It is even ahead of a mortgage. If you start a foreclosure process and the bank doesn’t pay it before the sale date, the property is now yours.

What blew me away was the way the foreclosure process works. You can basically pick up properties that 90% of the time go right under the average investors radar.

What also makes this so special is that the municipality partners up with you to get the taxes paid.

If you buy tax lien certificates, you can get up to a 36% return on your money. The great thing about it is the interest rate is set by the state.

Don’t get me wrong, you still have to do your due diligence to make sure that the certificate that you buy is a good one.

I go into greater detail in my home study course. If you are looking for a better way to invest in real estate, tax liens is definitely worth your time and investment.

Until the next time,
