Tax Lien Investing
Tax lien investing is an indirect way of real estate investing. Rather than buying properties, you’re buying tax lien certificates with the hope of a return later.
Tax Lien
A tax lien is a legal claim against a property that occurs when the property’s owner fails to pay government-owed taxes. Tax liens are placed by the city or county in which the property is located, and act as a legal claim to the property for the unpaid amount. Properties with a tax lien on them can’t be sold or refinanced until the taxes are paid and the lien is removed.
