How To Choose The Right Tax Lien Certificates Like all forms of investments, there are risks involved. The great thing about Tax Lien Certificates is that you can cut your risks down to almost zero. Which Tax Lien Certificate you choose to purchase is a matter of personal choice it will depend on a number of factors. If you keep the following in mind you will be able to sleep at night knowing your hard earned money is safe and earning you a great rate of interest. All Tax Lien Certificates are secured against the Real Estate property. The property would have been appraised by a government agency at somewhere between 10 and 100 times the amount owed on the Tax Lien. Tax Lien Certificates take priority over all other forms of liens that can be placed against the property, including any mortgages that may be outstanding on the property. Lenders become your "New Best Friend" if they choose to foreclose on the property. They MUST pay off the Tax Lien first. The lender in most cases will pay off the Tax Lien before the redemption date. After all, they are not going to lose a valuable asset over a few thousand dollars. Should the property owner not pay off the Tax Lien Certificate before the redemption date, you receive the right to foreclose on the property. The rules vary from State to State and are outlined in our "Tax Lien States" guide. One of two things will now happen: (1) the lender will pay you off or (2) you could get a nice piece of Real Estate property for pennies on the dollar. This is a win win situation for the owner of the Tax Lien Certificate. |
