The Four Greatest States For Tax Lien and Deed Investors

Apr 06, 2008 @ 02:16 pm by admin

The key to successful tax lien and deed investing lies in the ability to discern which states are good for investing and which states are not.

Don’t fall into that trap which so many investors do… bidding on liens or deeds in a state you know nothing about. Each state has its own rules, policies, procedures, and most important, rates of return. All of which you should know before you go spending your hard-earned money.

But I know it can be hard to do the initial research and determine which states are best before you have some momentum built up. So…

To save you some time and hopefully spur you on to taking action with your investing, I’ve outlined four states that are very good for investors. Myself and other tax lien investors in the know have made a lot of money in these states.

You can rest assured that each state outlined here offers great potential and is ripe to make you some serious profits.

Of course, this is just a sampling of the good states. There are many more but it would make this message far to long if I described each of them in detail. This should be enough to keep you busy for a while.

Here are four great states to invest in:

  • TEXAS- Texas has to be one of the best states ever. This is due to the penalty system it uses. A penalty, unlike interest, does not add up over time. You get the full penalty payment of 25% of the lien’s price no matter how soon the property owner redeems. They could redeem a day after the auction and they would still owe you 25% of the total. I’ve seen many, many liens from Texas redeem in short periods of time making for extraordinary annual returns. You can often reinvest your money many times in a single year. And if you reinvest your profits as well, you can grow at an even faster rate. Many savvy investors have traveled far and wide to take part in Texas tax sales. It’s that good!
  • GEORGIA- Georgia is another investor friendly state. Like Texas, Georgia uses a penalty system. Property owners are charged a brutal 20% penalty when they pay the back taxes owed. They owe the full sum even they’re only a week or two late. You stand a good chance of having many properties redeem within a month or two. This short holding time combined with the 20% penalty can make for some very exciting returns. Be sure to keep Georgia in mind when considering where to invest your money.
  • KANSAS- Kansas is a deed state, which means you’re buying the property at the sale, not just a lien on it. You become the new owner immediately after the sale. Many deed states are unfriendly for investors because they impose high minimum bids, which take away the chance of acquiring real state for pennies on the dollar. Not Kansas. Many counties in Kansas start the bidding at the cost of back taxes and not a cent more. What does this mean? It means there’s a great chance to pick up mega bargains in this state. I’ve seen developed properties go for less than $1000 here. While investing in Kansas, it’s only a matter of time before you get a killer bargain that can be resold for many times what you paid for it.
  • IOWA- Iowa is a good well rounded state for investors. While not quite as exciting as Texas or Georgia, it still brings a lot to the table. Iowa offers 24% interest on all liens. This still outpaces most investments available today. And Iowa always seems to have plenty of liens to go around for everybody. You can go to an auction here and easily invest as much money as you desire. This is beneficial if you have a lot of money you want to invest easily and safely. Overall, I like Iowa and think you’d be wise to invest here.

As you can see, tax lien and deed investing offers very exciting returns and is a great way to make money. This investment is a wonderful way to hedge yourself against inflation and market volatility.

Where else can you invest your money and make such high returns with total safety, regardless of what the market does?

Tax liens and deeds truly are the best investment available today. But only those in the know can take advantage of it and meet with success. By knowing what states to zero in on, you’re already well on your way to making these high returns and investment safety your own.

Tax Liens vs. Tax Deeds - Which One Should You Invest In?

Jul 21, 2007 @ 07:09 pm by admin

Because you’re reading this article I will assume you’re already somewhat familiar with tax liens and tax deeds. You also probably know that these are two of the most lucrative and rewarding investments available anywhere in the world. They’re in a class of their own.

The question is, which one takes the throne as the king of investments? Are tax liens better than deeds or is it the other way around? Let’s find out! But first, I need to ask you a couple of questions.

  1. Are you willing to travel to invest or do you strictly want to invest from home?
  2. Are you competent at selling a property?
  3. Do you want a hands-off investment that requires little of your time, or are you willing to be more active with your investing?
  4. Do you want to grow your wealth as quickly as possible, or are you ok with somewhat slower growth?

Your answers to the above questions will determine which investment is better for you. Tax deeds require more time and energy because you need to physically travel to the auctions to bid on the properties. After winning a property, you’ll want to do something with it, such as rent it, sell it, etc. This also takes effort. Not a lot, but some. The advantage to tax deeds is that you’ll make very large windfall profits. It’s not uncommon to pick up properties for between 20-40 cents on the dollar. This is mega bargain territory where big profits hide out. It’s well worth the extra effort.

Tax liens on the other hand are perfect for individuals who want to park their money and make great returns with little effort. You can invest in tax liens through the mail, making things much easier. Tax liens make investing easy. You buy a quantity of liens through the mail after doing some preliminary research and wait for the owners to redeem. When they do, you are issued a certified check, including very high returns.

It’s very easy. The downside is that the process takes time. You may sit on the liens for 6 months to 1 year before they pay off. This is ok considering the enormous returns you’ll make, but it’s not the fastest way possible to wealth.

What is my conclusion on where you should invest in? If you have some available time and capital to start with and want to make a fortune in the quickest amount of time possible, go with tax deed investing. If you want to beat the returns of the stock market, mutual funds, CDs, and other well-known investments with great ease, go with tax liens. Or, you can mix tax lien investing with tax deed investing. This is a great combination that will work miracles for your bank account.

No matter what you decide to do, you will have a great and rewarding time with each of these investments. To get started immediately, check out my ebook: Tax Lien Riches. This will put you on the right track!

Real Estate Investing-A Hidden Secret That Will Make Your Real Estate Investment Profits Sky-Rocket

Jul 18, 2007 @ 11:19 am by admin

The title of this article makes a bold claim. It promises you the ability to sky rocket your real estate profits. Obviously, lots of people claim to know secrets that allow you to greatly increase your investment returns. The problem is that most of them are hype and not at all realistic.

Luckily, what you’re about to learn is not only feasible, but can be accomplished time and time again. I tell you with complete honesty that this is a hidden real estate profit center that surpasses all others. It’s up to you whether you act on it or not.

So, what’s this hidden, yet extremely powerful real estate investment? It’s called tax deed investing. You may have heard of it. Here’s how it works. When people fail to pay their property taxes on time in deed states, their house and land is auctioned off to investors. It’s here at these auctions where unsurpassed bargains can be found.

It’s quite possible to attend a deed sale and pick up numerous pieces of property for 10-30 cents on the dollar. This blows foreclosures and other well-known ways to acquire inexpensive real estate right out of the water.

A great way to build a lasting lifetime income stream is to buy properties at deed sales, do a small amount of fix up work, and then rent them for cash flow. Because you own the property free and clear with no mortgage, your monthly positive cash flow will be very large. This provides a great life for you and your family without the need to have a job. Smart investing pays off big in the end.

You have now been tipped off to an amazingly powerful and untapped real estate investing strategy that can whisk you along to great wealth in a hurry. Beware though… There’s a great deal of misinformation about tax deeds floating around on the internet. Source your information very carefully. This is critical.

Tax Deeds- Why Tax Deeds Beat Foreclosures Every Time

Jul 12, 2007 @ 01:06 pm by admin

It’s so strange to me when I see how few investors know about the goldmine of tax deed investing. I hear them bragging about how they picked up a foreclosure property for 20% under market value. While this may be good, it’s not anywhere near optimal. Why buy foreclosures for 20% below market value when you can invest in tax deeds for 40-60% off full value. Which one sounds better to you?

The trouble is that many investors don’t have an open mind when it comes to new ways of doing things. They’re taught that foreclosures are the best way to acquire real estate inexpensively, and they never look to see if it’s really true. The good new is that you can look beyond all of the normal and average ways of investing that so many people are stuck in. You can break free into a whole new financial world of success. The only prerequisite is that you keep an open mind and are willing to experiment with new information.

When I first discovered the world of tax deed investing I could barely believe my eyes. This investment gives you the chance to pick up free and clear real estate for pennies on the dollar time and time again. In fact, if you make a habit of investing in tax deeds there is no way that you can fail to become wealthy. It’s impossible.

Tax deeds offer so many different avenues for growth that there really is something for everyone. You can buy properties very cheaply, then turn around and sell them for major profits. You can pick up multiple houses inexpensively and rent them out for a massive monthly cash flow. Or you can do a mixture of the two and make windfall profits, as well as monthly cash flow. The combinations you can put together are limitless.

If you are new to tax deed investing, it’s critical that you learn the proper strategies for success right from the beginning. There is a lot of misinformation available on the internet about tax deed investing that’s completely inaccurate. I wouldn’t take my chances if I were you. The information you possess is your key to wealth and prosperity. Choose whom you learn from wisely.

Tax Lien Pitfalls What to Watch For When Investing in Tax Liens

Jul 10, 2007 @ 07:21 pm by admin

While tax liens are among the safest investments on the planet, there are certain pitfalls that you will need to avoid to achieve success. This article is going to tip you off to the three most common mistakes tax lien investors make. Once you know what they are, you will have no problem avoiding them.

  • Failing to perform proper due diligence. This is by far and away the biggest mistake inexperienced tax lien investors make. You need to realize that a tax lien is a lien on real property. If the owner fails to pay their taxes before the redemption period expires, their house or lot may become yours. But what if it’s in a slum, deep in the wilderness, or contaminated with lead paint and asbestos? You wouldn’t want to own properties with any of these problems, would you? Proper due diligence before investing will tell you all about prospective properties. This way, you’ll see clearly the value of the property your tax lien is connected to. This will allow you to rest easy, knowing that you’re guaranteed either great returns or a valuable piece of real estate. To learn advanced and highly effective due diligence procedures, read my ebook, Tax Lien Riches.
  • Buying liens in the wrong state. Not all states are created equal when it comes to the returns you can achieve. Some states are phenomenal, while others are only ok. You need to know where to invest your money to maximize returns and safety. Many states will allow you to invest in tax liens through the mail. This takes away the hassle of having to travel to invest. The state you pick will make or break your results.
  • Not being prepared with the proper information. This is the root of all problems that investors will face. If you know every piece of information that you should, there is absolutely no way you can go wrong. Unfortunately, many investors don’t take the time to learn what they must to become extremely successful. They think they are taking the easy road by not studying before they jump in, but in reality they are taking the hard road. I hope you don’t make this same mistake. I have written a comprehensive ebook on tax lien and deed investing that will show you, step by step, every critical strategy and piece of information that you must know to be successful.

You now know the three biggest pitfalls that await unprepared tax lien investors. Remain aware of these points as you start to invest and I guarantee that you will reach massive success!

The Tax Deed Investors Secret- How to Start With Little And Get Rich By Tax Deed Investing

Jul 10, 2007 @ 06:53 pm by admin

You’ve probably heard a lot of hype about different investments. Everyone claims to have the inside track as to which investments are best. So, it’s up to you whether you’re going to believe what I’m about to tell you or not. Tax deed investing is the easiest, quickest and safest way to invest in the world today.

You won’t find an easier or more fun way to riches. Of course, the right information on the subject is mandatory. This article is only going to give you a piece of the information necessary for you to create a fortune from tax deeds. So let’s get started.

There are so many different options available with tax deed investing that it can seem overwhelming. For now, we’ll cover an approach that will allow you to start out with little money and snowball your way to great fortune.

Vacant land offers the biggest potential for upside growth. You’ll face less competition for vacant lots than you will for developed properties. This means you can buy them very inexpensively. The trick is, to locate properties near the outskirts of a growing town.

You could pick up an acre of land at a deed sale for little money and then wait for the developers to come. Or you could turn around and sell it for a profit right after the sale.

The key here is that you’re leveraging small amounts of money and turning it into a large amount of money. You are literally generating money out of thin air.

A word of warning… While vacant lots offer amazing investment potential you must be certain you’re bidding on a good piece of property. If you don’t research the properties you bid on, you’ll be in for an unpleasant surprise. In my comprehensive ebook, Tax Lien Riches, I cover in detail the due diligence procedures for maximum safety, along with many other tactics and strategies.

You’re now aware of a little known Tax deed investing secret that carries with it immense power. It’s up to you to implement it and make a fortune!

How to Make A 25 Percent Return in Six Months or Less Using The Amazing Power of Tax Liens

Jul 03, 2007 @ 06:04 pm by admin

Many investors I meet are startled when I tell them about the returns that are possible with tax liens. They give me puzzled looks and discerning stares, trying to see if I’m telling the truth or not. Well, I am telling the truth. Tax liens offer amazing upside potential with absolutely no downside risk as long as you know what you are doing.

This article is going to give you a specific formula that will guarantee you a return of 25% in six months or less using tax liens. Interested? Let’s get into it.

Because each state offers different rates of return, it’s critical to seek out the highest paying states. In this formula we will be using Texas. Texas is known as a “hybrid state”. This means it has attributes of both lien and deed states. Luckily, hybrids are just as easy to invest in as regular lien states. I choose Texas because it has many benefits for the investor. Here they are:

  • Texas uses a penalty instead of an interest rate. This means you get paid the full penalty no matter how soon the property owner pays off their taxes. They could redeem in one week and still have to pay the full penalty on every penny you invested.
  • The penalty amount is a whopping 25%. Great news to investors, bad news to tax delinquent property owners.
  • On certain types of properties, Texas has an extremely short 6 month redemption period. This means the property owner must pay their delinquent taxes within six months or lose the property to you. Short redemption periods mixed with large penalties are the ultimate for investors. Remember to check and see if the property qualifies for the short 6-month redemption period. (Look for non-homestead/non-agricultural properties, as they always have the shorter redemption periods.)

As you can see, Texas is about the best state possible for investors. All you have to do is invest your money and wait. Shortly there after, a certified check will show up in your mail box including massive profits, plus all the principle you invested. It’s that easy.

Now you’re probably starting to see why investors I talk to look skeptical. They are unable to believe that something so good exists. Many people are afraid to leave their comfort zones and so refuse to look at new opportunities. I hope you don’t make this mistake. Doing so would greatly limit your ability create wealth for yourself. Keep an open mind and many new and great opportunities will become possible.

Tax Deeds vs. Tax Liens

Jul 03, 2007 @ 01:19 pm by admin

You have probably heard about the investment opportunities in tax liens and deeds. They can be quite lucrative – possibly the most lucrative and safe investment you will ever find, if you have the necessary knowledge. This article is going to cover the first lesson you will need to learn when it comes to tax lien and deed investing… the difference between the two investments. So, let’s start with tax liens.

The definition of a lien is: a claim against an item by another party, which utilizes that item as security for repayment of a loan or other claim. A tax lien is placed on a piece of property by the government when the owner fails to pay their property taxes. Now here is where the investor comes it… the government sells these liens at county auctions to investors. The investor who wins acquires a first position lien on the property. Then, the property owner has a fixed period of time to pay off the principle and all interest and/or penalties accrued—ALL of which goes to the investor.

If the owner fails to pay the taxes, interest and/or penalties you get to foreclose on the property. However, this happens about 2% of the time with liens. So, most of the time they are a hands-off investment and the interest and penalties are often time very hefty.

Now when you are bidding at an auction for a tax deed, you are actually bidding for ownership of the property. This means that if you win the auction, you become the rightful owner of the house or lot in question. With tax deeds, you have to do more meticulous research because you want to be sure you don’t end up with a worthless piece of real estate.

You also have to be careful with tax deeds because certain states, such as Arizona and New Mexico, do not extinguish the liens after the auction. This means that you- the new owner of the property- have to pay them off. All you have to do to avoid this is check with the county you’re bidding in, and do the proper research on the property before bidding on it.

Tax deeds are more challenging to deal with, but the returns can be phenomenal.

Some state use a hybrid system that includes both the lien and deed protocols. Here is how it works. At the auction, when you win the bidding, you become the rightful owner of the property – just as with tax deeds. However, the owner has a set period of time after this to pay back all taxes, penalties and interest owed in order to reclaim the property. This system is potentially the most rewarding of all.

So, there is your first lesson in tax lien and deed investing. I suggest learning more about this amazingly profitable and safe investment, however, before you jump into it. Good luck!
