3 Year Lifecyle of Many Large Tax Bidders

(If you missed Part 1 of this story in the last email - click here) The whole reason I had gotten interested in tax sales in the beginning was that I'd been buying some cheap properties from a local broker, Jonathan - and noticed all these properties were owned by the same company.

Establishing Contact with a Homeowner Prior to a Deed-Grab

Establishing Contact with a Homeowner Prior to a Deed-Grab  When you write feeler letters to homeowners in property tax delinquency, you need to be able to anticipate the kind of calls you will receive.

Others tend to be uneasy about how you located them at a new address. Usually, mentioning that you get all your information out of

Expanding Your Deed-Grabbing Horizons

Expanding Your Deed-Grabbing Horizons  Deed-grabbing is usually only practiced on homes whose owners have been delinquent on their county tax dues for long enough to be at risk of losing their properties to a tax sale any day. In some cases, though, you can make a profitable deal on a property that's many months or years from such a tax sale. The benefit to getting to such properties early in the game is easy to see. If you only went after properties in a tax sale, you would only get to work once a year, right before the county actually

What Are Tax Certificates?

Tax Liens: Which "Camp" Are You In?

"Investors" interested in tax liens invariably fall into one of two camps: 1. True Investors: Plain and simple, true investors want to park cash, and earn an above-market rate. True investors don't want to have to actively manage their investment; they want their cash to do the earning for them. Tax liens ARE a bit of an active investment, however. Research is required before buying them, and a certain amount of work is required to comply with ongoing obligations. For instance, after holding the lien for some time, it's required to notice the owner and other interested parties that the
