homes for sale Tax Lien Investing, in our new year of 2010, has never been, a better time for ordinary folk, like you and I, to buy homes for 1% to 5% of their market values.
Our economic “downturn” has sadly, made many consumers unable to pay their property taxes, and has SO heavily overburdened banks with foreclosure inventory at its highest peaks that we haven’t seen in years.
This is where you the investor, comes in and purchases a tax lien certificate, you basically pay anywhere from a few hundred to just a few thousand dollars, which allows you to become the note holder of the property, if the property is habituated (meaning occupied) then they will have a chance within a certain period of time to make good on the taxes PLUS interest legally obligated to you, which can be anywhere from, as low as 12% up to 30%+ depending which county and state you have the tax lien certificate within.
juegos One that thing that stands though among buyers in these counties is that they most often go for real estate that are in good condition and always preferring the ones in better condition. This is a trend in the buyers’ tendencies in these places that makes our business of buying, renovating and renting out or reselling as quite a successful venture. It is our sincerest hope that you see the great opportunity to profit investing in USA Real Estate and we hope that you see us to be worthy as investment partners.
In case you were wondering about the counties of Loudoun, Prince William and Fairfax, I will write below some details on these that would hopefully give you a clearer image of what these counties are.
trabajo Now sadly, but fortunately fast forward to the present in 2010, and those figures have changed from the 90% as was the case, to a WHOPPING 50% redemption rate, in certain markets, the housing crunch being the culprit.
Now what this interprets too, as the investor, is; you stand a good chance of taking possession and ownership of at least half of the houses that you have tax liens on!
Contractor - When shopping for a contractor, be sure you find someone that is licensed and insured. If you are working with a Realtor that specializes in foreclosures they will be able to recommend several. The same goes for a wholesaler. Interview them and find out how they get paid. Most reputable contractors have lines of credit, so they don’t require as much money upfront to get the job started. Ask to look at a job they are currently working on or have just completed. This will give you an idea of the quality of work they do. Have several contractors submit bids on the job before you make an offer on the property. You have to know how much the rehab is going to be before you can make a sound offer. Go through the property and make a detailed list of what needs to be done. Remember, you are not moving into this house, this is going to be a rental. Once the property is yours, go back and get a firm bid on completing the repairs including the time frame to get the job done. Time is of the essence. A vacant house produces no cash flow!!! If one contractor gives you a better price, but can’t start for several weeks, it may be better to pay a little more to get the job done quickly. You should have in writing exactly what will be done and the total price. Of course, there is always the unexpected, but if the rehab goes according to plan, there is no reason for there to be a change in price. You may want to negotiate to pay them one-third upfront, one-third when the job is 75% complete and the last third when the job is complete and has been inspected. This way if there are any problems or things weren’t done that were on the list, the contractor has to take care of it before receiving final payment.
Loudoun County
- A little over 280,000 in population
- Fourth fastest growing county in the US
- 520 square miles (land)
- Median household income: $107,207
- Highest median household income in the country beating Fairfax County
There have been lots of resales going on in here in terms of real estate and there has been limited new construction of houses. New home constructions have become very slow and requests for building permits have drastically dropped. It is a great place to invest in though if you’re going for USA Real Estate given that its residents have the highest income in the whole country.
Hence a truly creative way of profiting from having a few Rent to Own homes in your possession. And due to our economic times, where financing has become so strict, you being a smart investor aid them in their troubles and also provide a moral benefit
