In the Land Profit Generator, you will become familiar with redeemable tax deeds? In most states offering tax deeds, the redemption period ends one day before the tax deed sale, but there are a couple of notable exceptions, including Texas. In Texas you can find “redemption tax deeds” also known as “redeemable tax deeds.”

In Texas, counties can auction property after it has been tax delinquent for two years. Many counties in Texas conduct auctions as frequently as once a month, and there is a continuous stream of valuable real estate available to the highest bidder. Contact your local clerk’s office or central appraisal office to find out how often that they auction property.

The distinction of Texas tax deed sales is that the previous owner has the option to redeem the property for up to six months in most cases, or in some cases, up to two years if the property was classified as a homestead. If the property is redeemed within the redemption period, the property owner pays a hefty penalty equal to 25% of the highest bid.

To put it in perspective, if a property sells for $20,000 at a tax deed sale, and the owner redeems it within one month, he pays $20,000 plus the 25% fee of $5,000 for a total of $25,000. As the investor, you can earn a 25% return within a month which translates to an annual return of 300% if done repeatedly.

Here’s a quick money saving tip for you, do not put any money into the property that you purchase until the redemption period is over. If you do, and the property is redeemed, you will lose the money that you have put into improvements.

As you will learn in the Land Profit Generator, a marketable title is one in which there are no liens and the line of ownership is very straightforward. You want to make sure that you can trace the chain of title from one owner to another without finding an unpaid lien or unrecorded death certificate.

If you discover any issues, first ask yourself if it can be resolved. If so, consider how much effort will be involved. If it is fairly easy to fix, then go for it. If it is not easy, then weigh the cost of the effort versus the benefit of moving forward. It can be worthwhile if the potential profit is still considerable.

On average, I let anywhere from 50 to 100 properties go every year due to questionable title issues. I prefer easy closings and you probably will too. However, you may find scenarios in which it makes sense to move forward when title issues are present. The great thing is that you decide what is and is not worth your time and effort. When you are first starting out, a quick call to a title company or real estate attorney will usually tell how big an issue that it will be to clear a title.

In order to avoid spending money unnecessarily, learn to do title searches on your own rather than using a title company. It’s a fairly straightforward process, and with a little practice, will not take a lot of time. You will end up saving money in the long run. Many counties will have everything that you need available online.

The key to any successful real estate investment is to thoroughly educate yourself. Learn more secrets and find out about my course, the Land Profit Generator at http://www.landprofitsreview.com .

There are a lot of misinformation surrounding tax delinquent property investments which we will try to rectify in the Land Profit Generator. Most notable is the widespread belief that these properties are junk. This has to do with a lack of understanding about why people relinquish their property over unpaid taxes.

Let’s examine a few of the common reasons.One of the primary reasons is divorce. Statistics reveal that over half of all marriages will end in divorce. While some situations are resolved amicably, there are plenty that get ugly. In these cases, the property is just a bad reminder of the former spouse, and the emotional baggage is simply more than they can tolerate. I’ve personally purchased properties in this situation for a few hundred dollars and then sold them days later for thousands of dollars.

You may be surprised to learn that retirement is another reason property owners allow their property taxes to lapse. An individual may purchase property with the intention of relocating there some day. As circumstances change, and they are no longer interested in moving, it is just easier to let the property go rather than dealing with the hassles of involving a realtor and investing a lot of effort in selling the property.

Another common source of tax delinquent property is inheritance. An individual may inherit a piece of property that they have no use for or no desire to own. Many times the real estate is simply too far away and becomes a source of frustration for the owner especially when there is no emotional attachment to the property. Additionally, they may not have the resources available to pay the property taxes. In this case, the land is a financial burden that they are glad to get rid of. All of these are an excellent source of leads for real estate investors.

If these uncertain economic times have you wondering about safe, alternative investment options, then you should consider tax lien and tax deed investments. With the right tools and a little research, you can achieve returns as high as 16% to 36%. How does it work?  We will explain it all in our new course, the Land Profit Generator.

Local tax authorities collect property taxes in order to fund their municipal infrastructure such as their school system. A property’s tax rate is a percentage of the property’s assessed value. When a property owner is unable or unwilling to pay the taxes, the taxing authority has a couple of options for recourse. One option is to place a tax lien on the property and sell it at auction, but only after a statutory waiting period of 2-5 years. Or they can sell the property tax lien to investors who will eventually be able to foreclose on the lien.
When considering this type of investment option, it is important to understand some potential pitfalls. In many cases, these are easily remedied, but only if you know what to do.

First, examine the usability of the property. The best thing is to go out and take a look at the property you wish to purchase or bid on. Although there may not be anything wrong with the property itself, you may find that it is not useful for building. Things like measuring mistakes, zoning issues, and a poor or inaccessible location can ruin the value of a property and make resale a nightmare.

You can easily avoid these situations by following a few simple steps for every property that you are considering.
• Get the plat map. This is simply the record of the property’s survey and can be obtained from the county.
• Visit the property. If it is difficult to get to, then chances are it is not a property you want to invest in.
• Find out if the property is in a flood zone.
A second problem you may run into is that a property’s value is less than the amount of taxes owed. You typically see this in properties that have low value from the start or when it takes too long for the property to be offered at a tax lien or deed sale. Additionally, the county adds penalties every year to property with delinquent taxes. The back taxes itself, the year over year penalties, and the accrued interest can all add up and remove any potential for a good resale price. A property with an annual tax bill of only $200 can have thousands of dollars worth of unpaid taxes, penalties, and fees. Getting a good estimate of the property’s value is the best way to avoid getting into an unprofitable situation.

A third problem to watch out for is environmental issues. This is a problem many investors fear the most especially when buying vacant land. Follow these simple steps to minimize the risk:
• Obtain a list of condemned properties from the county
• Visit the property and take a look around. If the property is occupied, you may not be able to do this.
• Contact the state’s office for environmental issues (for example, the “Arizona Department of Environmental Quality”). They will be able to let you know if the property in question has any known issues.
• Look at the property records to see if any environmental concerns have been recorded.

Millions of Americans invest in very popular Individual Retirement Accounts or IRAs. Unfortunately, the rate of return on these accounts can be woefully inadequate to retire in the fashion that most people envision. Neither traditional nor Roth IRAs are generating sufficient retirement income, and the recent economic downturn has not helped matters at all.  Land Profit Generator will work well with growing your self-directed IRA.  

In spite of this bleak outlook, there are options available to significantly impact the earning potential of IRAs. In a traditional IRA, you do not have the option to purchase real estate. However, with a self-directed IRA, you can invest in real estate. As the name suggests, a self-directed IRA provides you with significant control of how the money is invested. Self -directed IRAs can be used for most IRS permitted investment vehicles including investment property. The only exclusions are life insurance and collectibles.

Self-directed IRAs and real estate make a great combination. Think about it. IRA funds are intended for long term investing. Real estate, and in particular, raw land, is considered a non-liquid investment, so it makes sense to pair funds earmarked for long term growth with an inherently long term investment.

A good piece of land has the potential a significant rate of return, far greater than that of an 8% to 12% stock market investment. Land located in a known path of economic expansion can literally skyrocket in value. Even better, the distribution of earnings and appreciated equity from the property’s resale is tax free when purchased through a self-directed IRA.

As with any investment prospect, seek the advice of a certified professional when utilizing a self-directed IRA. There are numerous rules to be aware of, and a professional can help you accurately interpret and navigate the legalities.

Real estate is great for both short and long term investment strategies. Do not ignore your future or just hope things will work out. “It’s better to look ahead and prepare, than to look back and regret.”

As stated in the new Land Profit Generator by Jack Bosch, IRS liens are incurred when a property owner does not pay their federal income taxes. Although they are rare, it is important to be knowledgeable about IRS liens because they do not go away. They are attached, like glue, to the property of the delinquent tax payer. The lien follows the property whether you are aware of its existence or not. That is why it is critically important to do a thorough title search on any property you are considering. Never purchase a property without completing this step.

Consider the following scenario: when you buy a $10,000 property that has a $50,000 IRS lien, proceeds from the sale will go to satisfy the debt to the IRS. You will end up with nothing which is obviously a situation you want to avoid.

Keep in mind that title searches are essential, but title insurance is not. Title companies charge a fee for issuing title insurance after completing their title search. In the event an issue surfaces down the road, the title company is responsible for any expenses associated with resolving the issue. But if you do a thorough job yourself, you may not need title insurance.

The Land Profit Generator by Jack Bosch will teach you everything you need to know to do your own title searches. It is pretty easy once you know what to look for. Given that most counties now maintain online property records, you can even do this from home. If online access is not available, you will have to visit the county courthouse or clerk’s office in order to do your research.

One final note: In some cases, it still makes sense to purchase a property with an IRS lien. For example, if you locate a property that is worth $50,000 with a $5,000 IRS lien, and you obtain the property for $10,000, you will still make money. You can pay $15,000 to purchase the property and clear the lien, or negotiate the selling price down to $5,000 to compensate for the lien. Either way, you are still only paying a fraction of what the land is actually worth. IRS liens are uncommon, but they can be devastating when you don’t find out until after purchasing the property.

There are multiple ways to invest in tax delinquent properties as you will learn in the Land Profit Generator by Jack Bosch.  The two most common are tax liens and tax deed auctions. But do not limit your options or earning potential. There are a number of other ways to profit on tax delinquent property investments.

1. You can actually buy (or sometimes get for free) a list of tax lien or tax deed investors from the county. Contact these individuals and offer to buy any unwanted tax lien certificates (TLCs). Due to changing economic circumstances, investors who previously had plenty of money to invest may now be strapped for cash and ready to sell at a discount. After obtaining multiple years of TLCs, quickly move to foreclosure.

2. Another option is to purchase multiple years of TLCs from the county over the counter and then immediately proceed to foreclosure.

3. My preferred method is to purchase tax delinquent properties directly from the property owners before they go to auction. It just takes a little effort to go through the vast lists of delinquent properties and contact the owners directly. Many of these people have given up on the property and are willing to sell for a fraction of the property’s actual value.

Use any of these methods to obtain valuable properties for as little as 5% to 10% of the true market value. Let that sink in! You can purchase a property valued at $20,000 for as little as $500 to $1,000. The added bonus is that there is very little competition.

The best part of this business is that almost everything can be done from your home or anywhere else you choose. And all the tools you will need are probably things you already have such as a computer, an internet connection, a printer, a phone, and some postage.

Why would anyone no longer want a piece of property? It may surprise you that people are willing to surrender valuable property due to delinquent property taxes. The obvious assumption about such a property is that there must be something terribly wrong with it for them to just let it go.  You will learn in the Land Profit Generator  by Jack Bosch that there a variety of reasons for unpaid taxes, and a tremendous opportunity for investors.

In reality, the vast majority of tax delinquent properties have absolutely nothing wrong with them. Many of them actually have a lot of valuable assets including utilities, maintained road access, city water, and trees. To be sure, there are properties that you want to avoid, but you will learn how to steer clear of those with some training like we offer in the Land Profit Generator.

Why then do land owners no longer want their property? The reasons are as diverse as the landowners themselves. In my experience, I have found some common themes that I have narrowed down to a top 10 list, and I’ll share some of them with you now.
1. The property owners live out of state and do not want to deal with all the details of a long distance sale.
2. The original owner is deceased, and the heirs have no attachment to the property and would just prefer to get a little money out of it.
3. The owners have divorced and need the cash. As you can imagine, divorces are expensive and involve a lot of emotional baggage. There are situations where one individual brought the property into the relationship, but the other party receives it as part of the divorce settlement. Any attachment they have to the property is most likely negative, so they just want to unload it without spending anything on property taxes.
4. The owner bought it for a specific purpose that never actually materialized, and now the land is a burden.

Who doesn’t want to work from home? You can determine your own schedule, avoid annoying rush hour traffic, and work at the local coffee shop or on your couch in your pajamas. How does that sound?  What if you could create a sustained and growing monthly income of $5,000 to $40,000? Not only is this possible, but you can do it within a year or two working from home part time. It will require some effort, and it will not happen overnight, but in my experience, you will have the freedom to quit your current job within a year.  The new Land Profit Generator course by Jack Bosch will show you how it’s done.

Here is an overview of how the process works.
1. Invest in tax delinquent properties. There are hundreds of thousands of properties available on which back taxes are owed. I teach you how to easily identify and purchase these properties at county auctions or even before they go up for auction.
2. Within three to five weeks you will be on track to owning valuable property at deeply discounted prices simply by following my step by step process.
3. 95% of all the necessary research can be done online using services such as http://earth.google.com/ and county web pages, or by subscription to resources such as http://www.datatree.com/.
4. Provide seller financing in which you become the bank. You hold the note and collect the payments. I will show you how to turn a $10,000 property into a monthly cash payment of $150 for up to eight years.
5. Duplicate steps 1-4 between twenty and forty times in a year and you have the potential to earn $3,000 to $8,000 per month for years to come.

Purchasing tax delinquent properties is just the beginning. The most important step is finding a way to sell the property as quickly and efficiently as possible in order to maximize profitability. Guess what? You can do this without jumping through hoops or becoming a realtor. The new Land Profit Generator course by Jack Bosch will show you more than a dozen ways to sell your property.

Right now, I’m going to teach you how to sell your property using eBay. You may be surprised to learn that hundreds of properties are sold every day on eBay. Posting properties at online auction sites is becoming increasingly popular. In fact, this is one of the easiest and fastest methods I have discovered. Just be sure to take plenty of pictures during the property inspection. Good photos are essential to successful internet marketing.

You can either list a property with reserves, which is the minimum amount you are willing to accept, or without reserves. I’ve found that eBay works best with land that is worth between $1,000 and $30,000. Not only can you control the minimum purchase price using reserves, but you can also impact the speed of the sale since bidding lasts seven to ten to thirty days. Rather than waiting around for a buyer, place your property on eBay for thirty days and be highly confident of a quick sale. And when you offer the property without a reserve, you are virtually guaranteed a sale.

In addition to recouping your initial investment, you will make a tidy profit that you can use to immediately continue investing. The speed of sale is especially important when you are just starting out since you may not have a lot of investment dollars available. By rolling your profits into your investment account, you create a snowball effect in which you can obtain more properties more quickly.

The major drawback to using eBay is that you may not reach the property’s full market potential. We all know eBay shoppers are looking for a good deal, so you may not get the highest possible price. Even though you may sacrifice a little on price, you are making money quickly. Using a realtor, it can take up to eight months or more for your property to sell. Selling through eBay makes sense because you probably need your money back fast in order to keep going.

In a three month period, I was able to turn my initial investment over many times just by buying and selling on the internet. As a result, I made a lot more money than I would have by holding a property for six or eight months using traditional methods.
