I'm a real estate investor and I'd say tax lien certificates are the number 1 safest way to invest in real estate. In simplest terms, it's a certificate that the government creates because the home owner of a property didn't pay his taxes. So you pay the taxes for them upfront, and get a good return over the next 1-2 years. You can make anywhere from 12-21% on your money depending on the state you buy it in. The least amount you invest can be as little as a couple hundred dollars. They are not risky at all. In fact, if the person doens't pay you back your money plus interest, you end up owning the house! Not a bad deal. That doesn' t happen that often though. Great questions.
