What is a Tax Lien?
August 28th, 2006 • Related • Filed Under
As more and more homeowners are facing financial pressure on their homes, the use of tax liens to acquire distressed properties is going to increase. Typically, when a property owner is late on paying real property taxes, the local taxing authority will issue a a tax lien on that person’s property.
If you live in certain states, the tax lien can be purchased and then sold. It also will serve as the first lien on the property.
The sale of tax liens for back taxes is becoming common and will continue to be a way to acquire property relatively cheaply.

I hold a Certificate of Purchase on a piece of property that I have been paying the taxes on for 3 years. Does anyone know how I go about foreclosing on the property?? Thanks.

Kathy, While I have not had the fortune to be able to foreclose on someone I can offer some advice. It depends on what state the property is in. I bought this tax lien investor package from http://www.govtaxliens.com that has specific information in it by state.
