Buying
Real Estate by Paying Delinquent Taxes
By Maggie Dawson
Buying real estate for the delinquent taxes alone is not as easy as you
may be thinking. If you're dreaming of paying a few thousand dollars to
buy a nice property, keep dreaming. With the number of real estate
investors growing by the day, you can be assured that any piece of real
estate that's being sold for delinquent taxes will have many parties
interested in buying.
That's why counties hold tax sales. These are usually in the form of
tax lien or tax deed auctions. At these sales, liens or deeds (depending
on the state) are sold to the highest bidder. Because there are so many
bidders at every auction and all are usually interested in purchasing the
best properties, you will seldom find a deal at any of these auctions.
This doesn't mean that you can't profit off of tax delinquent property-
you most certainly can. It is simply unlikely you'll do it in direct
competition with large investing companies that will most certainly be
bidding against you at tax sale. Don't fret-- there's another way.
What you'll need to do is get to the tax delinquent owners before their
homes are lost. In many states, this will be after the property has had a
lien sold against it, or has had the deed sold at tax sale. As the window
of time for these delinquent owners to get their property out of tax sale
closes, they'll be primed and ready to part with their deeds for very
little money. Then, you just pay off the delinquent taxes, and the
properties are yours!
Get the full scoop on this
seldom-used real
estate investing method, and easily profit with little to no
competition.
