3 Truths About Tax Lien Certificate Investing
By: Brad Olstad
Truth #1 – It is going to take some work on your part to succeed. If you have
done some research into tax lien certificates and tax deeds you may have heard
some so called “gurus” bragging about how easy it is to make a fortune. While it
is easier and safer than many investments, it doesn’t come without some work on
your part. You need to learn about the business and you need to invest some of
your time to succeed. The good news is that with less work than most traditional
investments you can get substantially higher returns while exposing yourself to
less risk.
Truth #2 – There are hidden treasures for those that are persistent. You’ve
heard the stories I’m sure. An investor buys a tax lien certificate at auction,
the owner doesn’t redeem, and the investor ends up with 25 acres of land for the
low price of 68 dollars.
First let me say that these sorts of things do happen and more often than you
think. I personally know the gentlemen who bought the previous piece of land for
68 dollars. But you can be sure that it did not happen the first time at the
auction. With some persistence and a little bit of experience you can get better
at finding the jackpots.
Truth #3 – Most properties at auction do have real value. There are a lot of
reasons that a property can end up at auction. The common misconception is that
most of the properties do not have any real value. True – there are properties
on the auction that seem worthless, and to many, they are – but to the creative
investor they are literal gold mines.
Think outside the box. Put your mind to work and you’ll discover that there are
a lot of things you can do with the property that no one else wants. By being
creative you give yourself an advantage over 99% of the people at the auction.
Now cash in on it!
Invest some time and money into the business and you will discover that there
are huge returns waiting.
To your success,
