What percent of Tax Lien Certificates end up with certificate lienholder getting the property free and clear?
364871
Greetings,\n\nThe best source(s) for the answer to this question would be the County Tax Collectors, Treasurers' Office, or Sheriff Tax Collectors (EX-Officio Tax Collectors), etc.\n\nHowever, with that said, the actual percentages can be obtained from Tax Sale Reports, which may be obtained from anyone of the aforementioned (just ask for a  copy of their Tax Sale Reports or Statistics), or Ask How Many Properties are Redeemed versus the number offered or sold to compute the percentage(s).\n\nAlso, keep in mind that, although Sold at Auctions, Tax Lien Certificates and Tax Deeds, etc., are subject to a redemption period which various from state to state.  In essence, some Taxpayers will wait nearly until the final date before redeeming, so some of the reports or stats. may be slightly skewed.\n\nMy website, below, may be of further assistace to you, or you can email me, if need, at: bigiminc@yahoo.com\n\nI hope this helps and answers your question.

It depends highly on your income.  Look at the 1040 tax tables to get an idea for federal.  But typically, take home is 60-80% of gross.

6% has been the standard (3% to buyers agent, 3% to sellers agent). Now fees have gone down to 2-2.5% for each agent. If there is an agent selling their own house he shouldn't have a fee as they'd have to pay income tax on it. The seller has the pay the fee, so they would just be paying themselves.

Over 5.5% is very good. \n\nSavings accounts are now 4.65% so if the certificates are less then that its not woth it.

Do I understand that you have referred to three separate real estate properties?  Two buildings and a residence?  If the lien is recorded with the County Clerk, then it must be cleared before closing on a sale.  Ask a Real Estate/Title Lawyer to investigate the lien, to be sure it is valid and properly filed of record.

This is an easy one.  I specialize in real estate and have do this a number of times.\n\n90% of the time the owner is located where the taxes are sent.  The address of where the taxes are sent, at least in Washington State, is public record.\n\nI call the Treasurer's office and request the mailing address for the taxes for XYZ property.  I can either mail them or visit them directly.\n\nGood luck, email me with any questions!\n\nJared

simply have a release of lien form filed in the county court clerks office where the home is. The cost is about $10. Any title company can prepare and notaries the form for you for a small fee.

you can get a letter report from a title company.  the tital company checks to see if there are any liens, etc. on the property.

You have to check the books at the court house to make sure no one has a lien against the property.\n\nYou can't sell a property if someone is using it as collateral.\n\nYou can go to the court house and look at the books.   They are really thick, and they are red.\n\n"A due diligence assignment generally includes reviewing press and SEC filings, checking for regulatory and licensing problems, identifying liens and judgments, and uncovering civil and criminal litigation matters. Sophisticated investigators will also search for conflicts of interest, insider trading and press and public records that identify problems that may have occurred under the principal's "watch."\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Due_diligence\n\nThis is talking about business in general...like but it is pretty much the same for real estate.

I think it is a tax sale where it is still subject to all liens and mortgages. Where they don't get wiped clean.\n\nhere is a link to a notice of one in pensylvania\nhttp://www.co.monroe.pa.us/monroe/cwp/view.asp?a=1516&q=605391

Years?  In my state, property taxes are due twice a year at which time you may either pay it in full or half each time.  Once you miss one payment a lien is put on the property, the second time an additional lien is then put on the property.  Late fees and penalties accumulate with both liens.  At the second time property taxes are delinquent, the county assessor can then file to auction off the property at the next regularly scheduled auction.  The word "regularly" is important here because in our county they are not scheduled with regularity, they are scheduled when the county feels it has enough properties available for auction to make it profitable for all parties.  If the owner or payee responsible for the property taxes can pay the liens, late fees and penalties BEFORE the property is listed for auction, you can retain ownership. \n\nIt would be worth checking out www.Foreclosures.com and paying the monthly fee or getting the free trial to determine the details of where your granny's property is, status wise, with the county in which you live.  Just put in the zip code and initially you will see the general status.  You can obtain further information with the detail link.  Good luck!\n\n\nPS Try to contact the county assessor's office in the county in which the property is located.  Explain the details of the delinquency and perhaps they will have an arrangement you can make.

Try http://www.emigrant-direct.com  They seem to have the highest at 4.50%  However, INGdirect is a good one too, not as high of a return but very easy and trusting. http://www.ingdirect.com I don't have first hand experience with Emigrant.

There is a good chance that after all the research you have done to find a tax lien property, the property may be redeemed by the owner just prior to the sale. Since the bids are sealed you don't know what the other bidders are offering and if you have not properly determined the market value, you may overbid on a piece of property.

The principle is that the accountant holds a LIEN over your documents. They have every right to hold the documents until they are paid.

There is no set answer.  If someone says "go 5% under" or something like that, it will a gross error.  How much you bid on a house depends on a lot of things:\nlocation is the most important.  Is the seller asking for a price that is comparable to other houses in the same area? After location, comes condition of the house.  Has it been well maintained? Does it need a new roof? Make sure you get an inspection.
