How are Tax Liens Created?
• A tax lien is a lien on a property
for non payment of tax.
• Each and every year, owners of
real estate that fail to pay their
property taxes have a tax lien
created on their property.
• This is a financial obligation to
pay overdue taxes.

Why Invest in Tax Liens
• Income
• Tax Liens accrue finance charges of up to 18 percent
• Safety of Investment Capital
• Liens are secured by their first priority on real estate so
investment will be returned
• Diversification
• Liens are diversified as there is little correlation to other
investment markets
• Investment Capital
• Initial investment can be as small as $100 for a lien but
must make further financial commitments to maintain lien
after purchase

What are the Risks?
• Length of Investment
• Can take greater than 2 years to recoup your investment if
homeowner does not redeem
• Reduced Return on Invested Capital
• If Homeowner declares Bankruptcy then Judge can just
provide your investment capital back with an adjusted lower
return
• Liquidity
• No organized second market so cashing out position is
hard but this is starting to change with websites such as
www.bigbidder.com and www.lienlog.com
