DS News awards the book "Good Reads" choice



Industry Recognized Book

DSNews Magazine is the leading source of housing market trends, mortgage servicing, and foreclosure insights in the real estate industry. The magazine has recognized Complete Guide to Real Estate Tax Liens and Foreclosure Deeds, as one of their Good Reads.

What's tax liens and how is it an investing tool?

When cities and townships are in trouble due to real estate taxes not being paid, they offer tax liens that promises to pay you interest (sometimes as high as 16%) so that they can stay afloat. The original owner, or if they sell it, the new owner, has to then obviously pay that interest back to the city in order for the city to pay the investor back. As most are paid back within months of delinquency, your effectiv rate of return could be significantly higher. 

As always, seek out an investment professional and buy guides like the book.

    It is tax lien fraud and you may not know you are doing it


    One of the biggest mistakes that you could make is telling other bidders not to bid on particular properties that you like so prices do not go up.

    This is considered illegal in most states. Be wary of folks doing it and inviting you to join in these types of conversations. Some new bidders may not know this and could be doing something illegal out of ignorance.

    Here is a more recent example of this issue:

    An attorney was sentenced on Tuesday to one year in jail and forced to $800,000 in criminal fine for rigging bids at tax lien auctions in Baltimore and five counties, officials said.

    Harvey M. Nusbaum pleaded guilty to a one-count charge of conspiring to submit non-competitive and collusive bids at tax lien auctions, according to a release from the Department of Justice.

    In this example, this individual was harshly punished by the Department of Justice because he was bid rigging and the fact that he was a lawyer. It wasn't ignorance. The moral of the story: bid fairly. Don't ask others "not to bid" on your favorite properties. Remember, unlike other investments, tax lien auctions are very transparent.
