After writing many articles about the ins and our of Tax Delinquent Property Investing I keep coming across a large number of people who are interested in the subject but who did not yet have the chance to learn what this Tax Deed and generally the Tax Delinquent Property Investing system is all about.
Well, let me take the time today to go back to the basics and explain how this works.
In the United States a lot of the services each state, county and municipality offers their residents is paid for through the collection not of Income taxes but instead of “Property Taxes” levied on any Real Property (meaning Real Estate including Raw Land).
The taxing authorities here are multifold (Municipality, County, State, Fire District…) but the collection is usually being done by the County in which the property is located in.
Now what happens if a property owner refuses (or just forgets) to pay the property taxes on such a property? Obviously this strips the County/City/… of funds needed to pay for services like Police, Street work, Firefighters….
As a result in the US (vs. other countries where they have completely different systems), the States have given the counties the right to do one of two things.
- Sell the outstanding property taxes to investors in exchange for several rights, amongst them
- The investor gets issued a Lien against the property (called Tax Lien Certificate)
- The Right to collect a high interest rate (usually between 12 and 24% but can be higher in some states)
- The Right to foreclose on the lien against the property (down the road) if the owner not redeeming the Lien
- Sell the actual property at public auction. (called a Tax Deed Sale, or plainly a Tax Sale)
In either case basically there is the possibility that the owner gets the property taken away due to non-payment of property taxes.
In effect this is something that remains from the “WILD WILD WEST” days of the US.
Now how can you make a profit from this!! Very easily!!!
- You can go and attend the Tax Lien Auction and buy one or many Tax Lien certificates and collect a high interest rate until the owner pays off. If the owner does not pay off the Tax Lien Certificate in the Statutory Redemption period, you hit the JACK POT and can foreclose on the property and OWN The actual REAL ESTATE for only the back taxes you paid plus some foreclosure cost.
- You attend the Tax Deed auction and buy a property there directly from the State for pennies on the dollar.
- You follow my Proprietary method of buying Tax Delinquent properties directly from the Long time owners PRIOR TO AUCTION with Title insurance, FREE AND CLEAR for as little as $100 to $500

I am interested in any help you can direct me to for a target market “captive audience” for vacant residential lots in resort communities. I know the real estate market/economy situation, believe me; I have lost a LOT. However, with creativity and the right help, I know I can get these lots sold; perhaps with very little down a smalll monthly payment. I am behind in HOA dues and face foreclosure if I cant get a joint venture or successful marketin venue up and running asap. Please let me know if you can help. P.S., that website I gave you, I do not know how to design it, so you won’t get much out of that. I paid over 2K for the domain a few years ago and would love to use it. I need to be successful at it like sunnyland and these others. That is where I got your info. Thanks, Jen Coon 561-674-6762
