Tax Foreclosure Properties
Tax foreclosure properties occur when the homeowner fails to pay their real estate or property taxes associated with the address. These tax foreclosure properties are then auctioned off to the open market and the highest bidder buys the rights to the property if the tax liens are not paid. Since real estate and/or property taxes are paid to governmental agencies, the government is the entity not being paid, and thus is the entity conducting the auction.
Purchasing a tax foreclosure property at an auction is a way for seasoned and newbie real estate investors to get property at well below market prices, often 30 – 50% below the market value of the address. To be successful at tax foreclosure property auctions, you must educate yourself regarding the procedures, rules and regulations governing the state in which you are attempting to purchase the property. This information and more can be found here.
The foreclosure market is booming, data suggests there is more property available at below market prices due to foreclosures than there are buyers. So, if you are seeking an entrance into the real estate investing arena via the foreclosure market, your timing could not be better, we are in the world of a buyers market. Negotiating is at an all time high, as government agencies, banks and lending institutions alike are highly motivated sellers due to the drastic increases in their foreclosure inventory. These same tax foreclosure properties are costing these groups large amounts of cash due to the holding and maintenance costs. Needless to say, foreclosure properties are wreaking havoc on the bottom line of these institutions and need to be sold quickly.
