  1. It is state mandated - Remember when the states were allowed to govern themselves without being sued by the federal government?  Those were great times.  Well there are still some instances where the states are allowed to govern themselves.  States govern the tax lien and/or tax deed program in their individual states.  That means that the state has set up regulations for how much an investor will make on a tax lien certificate and the life of the tax lien certificate (redemption period).  Arizona has set laws that the annual return is 16 percent; Florida's law is 18 percent; Texas' law is 25 percent for every 6-month period.  Tax liens are incredibly unique because the investment is regulated by the state.  There is security found in tax liens that cannot be found anywhere else.
  2. Tax liens are backed by real estate - This is another huge factor that results in increased security for the investment.  Not only is the tax lien or tax deed investment state regulated, but also each tax lien is backed by the same property that the tax lien was issued for.  That means that if the property owner were to fail to pay delinquent taxes during the redemption period, then the investor can take ownership of the property.  Tax liens are unique because they are extremely secure being backed by real estate and state regulated.
  3. Tax lien certificates promise huge returns - The third of the three main reasons that tax sales are such a phenomenal place for investing is that tax lien certificates promise extremely high returns.  Annual returns range from 8 percent on the very low side to 50 percent on the high side.  But returns can grow exponentially when you take ownership of the property if the property owner fails to pay the delinquent taxes.  The other advantage of tax lien properties is that the investor controls the return.  The investor doesn't need to accept 8 percent if they're interested in 8 percent; they simply need to invest in a state with higher returns.

Americans face the daunting task of making money and keeping the money that they make.  Tax lien and tax deed investing offers an opportunity to make money that is unrivaled.  Real estate is dangerous and the stock market is hopeless.  We can help you make real money and build your retirement like no one else on the planet.  The thousands of investors we have taught thus far evidence that we can help anyone create financial independence.

    Looks like you're right: Now *is* the time, as evidenced by this recent press release from Bid4Assets:


    REAL ESTATE INVESTORS NATIONWIDE SWARM ONLINE AUCTION SITE
    Rush To Review 13,000 Detroit-Area Properties At Bid4Assets.com

    "I've never seen Web site traffic like this before!"
    So says Matt Baker, CEO of Bid4Assets, which is currently hosting a preview of more than 13,000 tax-foreclosed properties in Wayne County, Michigan.
    "This is easily the highest level of interest I've seen in any of our online auctions," Baker continued. "This just strengthens my belief that this is an incredible opportunity for real estate investors. The convenience and ease of online bidding not only makes the whole process easier for everyone involved, it also opens the auction up to investors from coast to coast – and even internationally."
    The online preview and auction (bidding takes place September 17 -23) is the first of its kind and the largest ever for Wayne County, which has retained the services of Bid4Assets.com a leading online real estate auction site as their exclusive partner for disposition of these properties.
    The timing of this particular auction could not be better and marks a tremendous opportunity for investors interested in purchasing real estate in the Detroit/Wayne County market. Many observers of the Michigan real estate market are noting signs of a significant turnaround. Greta Guest in the Detroit Free Press, for example, wrote on August 16 that "with at least 2,500 jobs coming to Michigan in the next two years, relocation experts say a mini real-estate boom could be in the making."
    The online nature of the auction streamlines the bidding process. This year Wayne County is facing a 44 percent increase in tax-foreclosed properties up for auction when compared to last year.
    "In selecting an Internet auction service, we sought a firm with extensive experience in county government online tax foreclosure auctions and a proven record of increasing sales and revenues," said Wayne County Treasurer Raymond J. Wojtowicz. "The firm had to provide a clear cost/benefit advantage to a live auction and a process that is easy to use, and affords those without computer access an alternate method of bidding. Our goal is to ensure that the Internet auction not only streamlines the process and increases property sales and revenue but also enables anyone who wants to participate to be able to do so.”
    "It is my belief," Wojtowicz added, "that given current market conditions, as well as the mandate of Michigan law, the online auction process is an essential and timely tool for efficient delivery of county service."
