Tax deeds differ from tax lien properties because when you bid on a tax deed property and win it you’re going to own the real estate. Then, you can proceed to rent the property for your own benefit or sell it for higher profits. This is different from tax liens because there is a redemption period wherein the homeowner can still keep his property by paying the back taxes.
You must also know that there are various types of tax deed properties. These are residential lots, commercial or business types, and agricultural lands. The residential and commercial ones are easily sold and without doubt have lower risks.
Do not be discouraged when you hear news from other investors who failed in this type of real estate investment. It is because they probably lack in proper due diligence or does not have enough time and money to invest. Just put a lot of effort in careful investigation and in this business and you would enjoy the profitable and exciting benefits that tax deed sales investing provide.
