Tax Lien versus Tax Deeds and How to Purchase a House for Under $2K
The government forecloses homes often as a result of people defaulting on their tax payments. Failure to pay taxes on property, whether personal or commercial, gives the government the right to foreclose the property. While this may sound horrible for the owners, there can be some positives that can result from it.
The local government will arrange a tax lien sale, where the public can bid on the right to provide the homeowner a loan in lieu of the home and/or commercial property. In return, the homeowner must pay the winning bidder back the full principle with interest, by a specific date. Both parties must agree with the terms and the date.
However, the caveat for the property owner is that if they don't pay the loan as agreed upon, you, as the lien certificate owner may foreclose the property and take title of it. Everyone wins, so long as you are payed back the full amount of the tax debt plus the healthy interest owned. This way, you obtain a good interest rate on a very low risk investment, while saving someone from losing their property and/or home.
Even more, the lender can sell the property after obtaining the title. Imagine how much money they can profit from doing that! It's always best for the owner to keep up with all mortgage and tax payments, but sometimes financial problems can prevent that. Since we're still going through an economic collapse, the odds are more often than not AGAINST the struggling homeowner.
A tax deed sales is not exactly the same as a tax lien sale. The only thing the two have in common are that they're sold at government auctions. A tax deed sale means that the government is selling the actual home and title, and the highest bidder will win the rights to the home immediately. The current homeowners have no choice but to move out. Depending on the local and state laws the auction winner may be responsible to cover all additional liens against the property. This information is public information so it is vital to know of any outstanding liens as you wouldn't want to encounter any surprise expenses here.
Obviously, there are great opportunities for profit at government auctions, whether by earning money through tax lien sales or tax deed sales. Those who are business savvy can earn all kinds of money by either charging the homeowners high interest, or simply obtaining the home and reselling it for a nice profit. - 23221
