The
stock market is unpredictable. Many investors are looking for alternative
opportunities for profitable returns. Real estate tax default investments are
attracting many investors for lucrative returns. If you want to invest in real
estate, then you need to understand real estate industry well. This will save
you from bad deals or loss of investment and you will earn a great profit on
your investment.
Tax
Liens
A
security interest that is granted by an investor to a real estate property
until the settlement of tax debts is referred to tax liens. A lien is placed by
the government on the property if the owner of the property fails to pay the
taxes. A tax lien certificate is issued by the Municipal Cooperation that
defines all the fine, interests and penalties dues. This certificate is put on
the auction and gives to the highest bidder. If you want to win that bid, you
have to pay the highest premium or accept the lowest interest rate. After
purchasing the tax lien certificate, you need to settle the full amount to the
issuing authority and inform the property owner that owns the lien certificate
of his property. The owner will pay you the entire amount with lien interest
that can go up to 35%.
Before
bidding for the lien certificate, check that the owner of the property has
filed for bankruptcy. The local government offers a certain time period to pay
the tax lien that can range between 6 months to 3 years. In case, owner of the
property fails to pay the tax in given time period then you can foreclose the property
and get the deed.
Tax
Deed
In
many states, municipality offers a tax deed in which you will buy the property
at the auction. You will get immediate ownership of the property in many
states. Most of the states will give you the ownership after a short period of
time. In case the original owner of the property wants to reclaim the property
then he has to pay you the bid auction along with interest that can range
between 10-25%. After the redemption expires, the property becomes yours and
you can do anything with it.
Whether
you choose tax lien or tax deeds, you need to understand the industry, laws,
and regulations of the local government where you want to purchase. Also, make
sure that the property on which you want to bid is in good condition and has
great worth.
