Property Foreclosures and Property Tax Liens
Foreclosures are reaching record levels, but buying a foreclosed property with someone elses, that is borrowed money, has become increasingly more difficult. Traditional lenders such as banks and mortgage companies have to overcome their shortage of funds, caused by their irresponsible lending practices. This will still take some time, since disclosure, and therefore, write-off's about loans that are still performing (that is, the borrower ist still able to make his monthly repayments of the loan in full), but exceed the underlying asset value, has been slow and thus many bank and mortgage company balance sheets include lots of overstated values. The result of this, and, the shortage of capital in the banks, make obtaining loans, especially for speculative purposes very difficult. It may well be, that for some time to come, despite well advertised TV programs that state the contrary, purchasing foreclosed homes is limited to those that have large amounts of cash at their disposal, whether it is their own or borrowed from some private source. Bank financing, for the moment and, unless you are able to invest around 30-50% of your own cash, appears to be out of the question. To know, where and how to buy foreclosure homes is a great skill. You could find your dream home at a wholesale price, or start a new career. It could also become an excellent source for a retirement income.
Is it possible? Well, if you are clever,
single minded, persistent, hardworking, methodical,
inquisitive, cautious, lucky, and at the right place at
the right time, yes, it probably is!
You can learn everything about foreclosure purchases. Real estate is generally a solid investment and a means to build wealth. There is no real estate or brokers license required to purchase or trade in foreclosure properties. Though, if you want to deal with VA and HUD properties, you will need a licensed broker to present the offer.
If you start in this business, try to purchase properties as close to your location as possible. Because there are many issues for which you might want to be present yourself and not represented by a lawyer only. Also, check the laws of your state on foreclosed properties and make sure that a lawyer has actually checked the contracts, looked at potential liens that could still exist, after you purchased the property. or any other matter, that could put your purchase at risk.
Even though, the financing of foreclosure properties has changed in 2008, the underlying principles of buying a foreclosure property has not. The legal hurdles are still the same and, the risks remain as well. The above books should provide you with some guidance, but always consult a legal specialist, before you proceed. Massive

Books on Tax Liens and Real Estate Procedures on Tax Liens vary from State to State. Generally, in the event a tax lien on personal property is not paid within a specified time (and after several written notices are given), the property may be seized and sold at a foreclosure sale. On real property, one of two methods may be used: either the property may be seized and sold (a tax deed sale), or, in some States, the tax lien may be offered to investors (in the form of a tax lien certificate) with an accompanying right, for the investor, after a specified period of time, to institute foreclosure proceedings (a tax lien sale). If you want to know more about the details and how you can invest into tax lien certificates, there are numerous good books available. The ones below, were the best we could found.
If you are seriously considering investing into tax liens, then you should get an insight into tax auctions and the implications of buying tax liens.
