Post: Tax lien buying a property buy paying for the taxes

What are we talking about here?  Are you asking if you randomly pick a property you can do this or you asking within the context of buying a delinquent tax lien?

If the latter, then what typically happens (lien states are all different) is you buy the lien and they have x amount of time to redeem.  If they redeem, then they have to pay you what you paid for the lien plus interest. Again, all states are different when it comes to redemption times and interest payable. After the end of that period and they haven't paid then you can essentially foreclose on that property and you will get a deed for that property. You are the new owner.

@Reginald

To be clear, I wasn't just saying what I could pay for it based on opinion. I literally put your numbers in the financial calculator based on a possible desired 10% yield (I typically want more). I don't really invest in second mortgages myself.

I agree with Andy that maybe you need to keep it, if you don't need the money right away.

If I wanted a 10% yield on it, I would only pay about a third of the face value. And because it's a junior and I don't know the LTV I'd probably pay even less than that.. Getting into the 5 figures.

First, NPN = ?

Why not just do what conv lenders do and make an impound account for prop taxes and insurance.  Title companies really don't like being money managers using escrow once a deal closes.

It  just depends on the state. Gurus often tout land contracts as these great things in note investing but they are often not.

@Chris Seveney : So when you convert CFDs to a mortgage, is it a simple matter of using a RMLO to do so? ~$500 cost?

Some investors avoid cfd's or end up converting to mortgages because land contracts are either illegal or treated as mortgages in certain states. They also have a bad rap because of the historical, predatory uses of land contracts. If lawyers in that state are telling you to avoid land contracts, maybe you should. For the record, I have had two.

I am curious.. What are they saying are the litigation risks?

Every month, there are thousands of homeowners who are delinquent on their property taxes. As many of us who invest in NPNs already know, many of these people ignore these delinquencies to their detriment. Depending on where they live, either the home gets eventually slapped with a tax lien or it goes to tax sale. There are many who want to save their homes but are unsure how to do so. Well, there is at least one investor who took notice and began to create win-win solutions for herself and the homeowner thru the creation of private loans. Meet Meshawn Davis, a SoCal note investor! Come by and listen to this different take on note investing!

Meshawn Davis, MBA, president and owner of Davis Real Estate and Note investments, has over 20 years of experience as a licensed mortgage loan originator and realtor specializing in commercial financing and sales. Now as a private lender funding her own portfolio, Meshawn has been able to excel her note business to the next level with high yielding originated note investments.
