If you are hoping to acquire great deals on investment properties or a home to live in with your family, then consider buying a tax deedhome. There are a number of ways in which you can do this.
The first way is to buy a property at a government tax deed sale. When property taxes are unpaid, the taxing authority would sell the real estate at a tax deed auction. The actual property deed is sold to the highest bidder. In some states though, you can take possession right away of the property. While some has a redemption period in which the owner can pay off the back taxes. If the owner does not, after the redemption period is up, you would be the new deed owner.
The second way is to buy the tax deed property directly from the delinquent homeowner. This is one of the easiest ways to invest in real estate. They have nothing to lose by selling the properties to you. Does it sound difficult? No because by this time it is either the homeowners no longer want the property or do not have the money to pay the back taxes in time. There are even homeowners who are glad to run into someone who can help them out because they can get something for their property rather than nothing.
Tax deed sales investing can be great way to boost your real estate investing portfolio. Through this you can also find inexpensive properties which suit your budget.
