What can a real estate investor do to find a good deal these days?

The answer can be found from Tax Lien and deeds.

Buying a house from the back taxes owed is a great idea for real estate investors. Though the process is more complicated that some other forms of real estate, if you follow the state rules and laws, you’ll have no trouble at all

If you are purchasing at a live or online auction, in order to get the deal done, investors should be diligent enough to do your due diligence ahead of time, as not to get burned by mistaken research, which is no GOOD!

The country, city, or municipalities get huge benefits from property taxes. The taxes they collected will be used for all sort of public services, schools, fire and police departments, including street maintenance, etc. They consider it as their life blood.

Along with it, just to ensure that the government collects all the taxes, they allow investors or anyone who has financial interest in the property to invest in liens or deed.

Depending on state laws, delinquent taxpayer or someone who has an interest in the property can go after the due back taxes if the taxpayer cannot or does not pay it.

Most of the states will have the right to collect the taxes to the winning bidder at auction through the tax lien certificate that was placed on a tax lien.

In tax lien states, the successful bidder gets the right to collect the back taxes and take over the lien, including the penalties and interest paid by the property owner who weren’t able to pay the property taxes until the lien is paid off.

It’s an advantage and a secure way to do tax lien and deed investing because the government back this up. There’s no need for middlemen, attorneys, realtor, and no commission needs to be given to the third party just the deal to be done.

It also creates a good investment portfolio with low risk and even small investment is possible.

Moreover, with this kind of investing it still needs much diligence because there are risks to be known before taking the steps.

Don’t be rushed and definitely do not be an impulsive buyer.

Again, learn the ways first, and be more knowledgeable of the rules and regulations of tax lien and deed investing in whatever state you might want to buy a property.

Don’t be conscious about the time, and don’t be hurry in learning these things because in tax deed and tax lien business, there’s no recession as long as the government finds it beneficial on their end, and I am 100% confident it will always be beneficial for them since it’s their life blood.
