if you r looking specifically for tax lien properties there is no one website that lists properties that have liens against them. this is actually how i invest. you need to contact the tax collector for the town you want to research liens in. you need to get the most recent tax sale list or upcoming list if its i the future. if the sale has passed you need to have them give you the results of the sale. which properties did have liens placed against them. if its a future sale, i would plan on attending it. you can buy some liens yourself if you would like. however, at the very least go there to record which liens were placed. once i have my list, i check with tax collector to see if there are older liens on a property. e. g. if you have the tax sale list for 2012 i'll ask if there are any liens prior to 2012. you do this so that properties that are coming close to the foreclosure date, you can heavily market to. these owners will be more likely motivated b/c they are close to losing their property to foreclosure. back to websites, most tax collector offices will either mail/email you sale list. also a lot of times, they are posted on regional paper (ac press, ap press, etc). occassionally, you will get lucky and they'll post the tax sale list right on the townships website. hope this helps. sorry for length.as far as foreclosed properties, you can just google foreclosure lists, and im sure you will find some. most of the ones i have seen require a monthly fee. you could also use a realtor, zillow, trulia, or other listing sites usually post foreclosures.

Have fun in your ventures.

I am not sure I have the DTI to qualify, nor do I want to put 20% down on this property, as I would rather use my current available cash for more active business ventures that are currently giving me higher and faster COC returns.

Besides that, loading up on salries beyond what is usual and customary for other similar operations can cause you to lose your tax exempt status.When you walk out the door you need to be committed to the mission, that's what you must project to others, not a way to make a ton of money, if that word gets out, you're dead in the public eye as well as everyother N/P in the community.

John Thedford,Consider a joint venture with the other person in which the 401k provides the cash and they do everything else.

Especially when I see myself losing $15k in one year.

What if any recourse does a MHP owner have if a mobile home, that is not park owned is sold and moved out but is still under a lot lease??

I may lose all my money, but I just know that I will probably succeed as I've studied sooo much.

Fred, The way you have described your participation appears to be one of a Joint Venture where you and the rehabber are sharing in the risk.

I know by claiming a higher withholding that I am losing interest and opportunity costs.I earn an average salary for the geographic area I live and work, and I believe the reason I get such a large return is due to my dependents and qualifying for earned income credits.Once my wife begins her teaching career, I know those credits will disappear and my refunds should drastically shrink compared to the large amounts I receive now.
