Tax lien sales are one of the less common types of foreclosures that occur, but they offer no less in the way of great bargains on a variety of different homes. The main difference between a tax sale and bank foreclosures or a foreclosure that occurs through a lender is that the tax properties are for sale by the government. And, instead of being up for sale as the result of a mortgage default, tax home sales are the result of an unpaid property or income tax by a property owner.
When you don't pay your taxes, either to the federal government, the state or even the county, the proper authorities will seek to reclaim the amount owed by commandeering valuable things you may own, and most often this turns out to be real estate. Whether it's land, a string of investment properties or your primary residence, what usually happens is that the authorities will repossess your property and put it up for auction as a means of raising the money to pay off the tax debt.
Tax lien sales are very similar to foreclosure sales, and often times investors seek them out just as much as other discount properties. The interesting thing is that homeowners under tax liens are often very willing to make great deals on pre-foreclosures, since if they cannot pay off their debt, they often face legal repercussions on top of losing their property. To avoid bankruptcies and sell the property quickly, they often discount homes for anywhere up to 40%, as long as they raise enough money to pay off the tax deed.
But if you're not comfortable with the FSBO process, you can also find plenty of tax lien sales in the auction format, which provide just as many excellent chances for investment. Let BankForeclosuresSale.com show you how to find lots of great discount homes and save big on a home purchase today!
