Here’s a quicky rundown in case you are new…

The first question most people usually ask is what are tax liens? When someone fails to pay their taxes on a piece of property, the local county government steps in and takes control of the property. They place a lien against the piece of property until the taxes are paid.

They then put it up for auction in order to get their money. The government doesn’t want to own real estate, they want their taxes instead. That’s how they function and that money has to come from someone.

This is where you come in. You then have the right to place a bid on the property in order to pay the back due taxes. If you get the bid, you get the right to make money from the property. The exact laws vary from one state to another, however, the basics usually work out like this.

You pay the back taxes, and the original owner is expected to pay you back for the back taxes plus a certain amount of interest on your investment. If they fail to pay, you then get the property free and clear and gain complete ownership of the property.

The government wants their money, that’s all. The person who originally owned the property agreed to pay the taxes when they bought it. When they fail to pay, they default on their part of the agreement and give the local government the right to come in and take the property. When they do this, they place the property in their list of delinquent tax properties list and give other people the right to pay the back taxes and gain ownership of the property.

The beautiful part of tax liens is that very few people know anything about them. This means that you can literally pick up a few properties for a fraction of what one of those would normally cost at normal price. It isn’t unheard of for someone to purchase 10 or more properties for less than $10,000.
