Investing in tax lien certificates is an alternative way to include real estate in your portfolio, at least another source of income. When a homeowner falls behind on their property taxes, the county or municipality where the property is located can place a tax lien against the property. A tax lien certificate is issued usually by the tax assessor's office, verifying that there is a lien in place and the amount of taxes owed on that property by the current owner. According to the National Tax Lean Association, an amazing estimated $14 billion in property taxes goes unpaid each year. This is a pretty broad market for investors that most people don't understand. Ted Thomas explains how you can diversify a little and generate some extra cash using these tax lien certificates. Ted is a Florida-based educator, publisher and author of more than 30 books. His home study materials are international best sellers and draw clients from as far as Europe and South America. Find out how you can earn and make more money through an alternative form of passive real estate investing.

Investing in tax lien certificates is an alternative way to include real estate in your portfolio, at least another source of income. When a homeowner falls behind on their property taxes, the county or municipality where the property is located can place a tax lien against the property. A tax lien certificate is issued usually by the tax assessor's office, verifying that there is a lien in place and the amount of taxes owed on that property by the current owner. According to the National Tax Lien Association, an amazing estimated $14 billion in property taxes goes unpaid each year. This is a pretty broad market for investors that most people don't understand and this is something I personally have not looked into all that much. I understand it, I've looked at it, I've never pursued it, and then maybe I'll change my mind. When a property has a tax lien, it can't be sold or refinanced until the past due taxes are paid.

The lien certificate itself, however, can be purchased by you, the investor. This typically occurs through a public auction and it's organized and held by the county or sometimes the municipal tax collector’s office, but auctions can be held in person or online, which is what makes this an easier thing to do. I'm not saying it's easy, I'm just saying it's relatively easy. You wouldn't necessarily go to Zillow all the time to buy a property, but you could. If you know what you're doing, it becomes a lot easier. With certificates, they go to the highest bidder, so it's essentially an auction. My guest explains how you can diversify a little and generate some extra cash using these tax lien certificates.
