Apr 21, Jessica rated it liked it Shelves: financial , non-fiction. I just finished the edition, which has been updated in many ways. Basically it involves buying tax liens from county governments, and then rather than the county earning the interest, you now earn the interest.

Only 23 states sell their tax liens in this way, but Moskowitz includes all of this information for you. The major differences between this edition and the first one is the fact that many counties now do their auctions online, or at least have websites that have very detailed information about the procedure. Moskowitz includes web addresses for all of the relevant counties. He also includes advice that is based on the current economic situation, rather than what the economy looked like back in The world is a different place now.

At first I was wary of tax liens - I felt that it must be in some way bad for the person whose lien is being sold, the person who has been unable to pay their property taxes.

I would hate to participate in a system that made it easier for people to lose their homes because I bought the lien on their unpaid property tax. But in many states, it's actually better for the property owner - at the auction, the person who wins the bid is the one who will take the lien at the lowest rate of interest.

Granted, some states seem to make it very easy to foreclose on someone, but I was interested in the states that seemed to be the most fair to the property-holder.

All-in-all, this book makes tax lien investing sound like a really good deal. I plan on checking it out when I have the extra money ready to invest. And I will have this book read for when I need it.

The best section of the book is the appendix because it goes into detail of the different state's requirements for tax liens. Apr 02, Brad Barkel rated it really liked it.

Great intro to tax liens. Check to make sure your state does tax lien certificates many do not and absolutely fully understand the redemption process before spending any money on this. Many states now offer these sales online, and combined with GIS you can pretty easily pull all of the parcel info to make an investment decision.

Apr 07, Kathyw marked it as to-read. I am actually reading the edition of this book. It has just been released in March. It discusses earning a higher interest rate in an extremely low interest rate market. Nov 11, Nate rated it liked it. Interesting alternative investment option that I will continue to look into it.

So far it seems like there is more to tax lien investing than the author leads to believe. Still worth taking a look. Moskowitz explains what tax lien certificates are liens against property for unpaid taxes , why they are safe investments certain states insure them , and how they fit into an overall financial plan.

This new edition includes updates to the laws and procedures of states and counties that offer tax lien certificates. Save Not today. Format ebook. ISBN Author J. Publisher Andrews McMeel Publishing. Release 01 May Subjects Business Finance Nonfiction.
