The Four Greatest States For Tax Lien and Deed Investors
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.
