			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tax liens are placed upon properties when the owners have failed to pay certain taxes for a certain period of time and have failed to respond to the government&#8217;s attempts to retrieve that payment.  By placing tax liens on these homes the government ensures that the owner can&#8217;t really make a move without first making a payment.</p>
<p>First you should be aware that having tax liens on your property limits your financial possibilities.  You most likely will not be able to pay off your tax lines with a loan because tax liens are reported to the credit bureaus.  Another reason it is hard to get financing is because properties that have tax liens on them cannot be offered up as collateral.  Finally you cannot even transfer the title of the property without paying off the tax lines.</p>
<p>One of the most common ways that people pay off their tax lines when their property is already mortgaged is by the lender paying the upfront costs and creating a repayment plan with the owner through that is attached to their mortgage payments through an escrow account.  Mortgage lenders do this to avoid the risk of the government selling off the property and the lenders then being unable to recoup the money they lent out for purchasing it.</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t want to keep the property you can easily sell it, despite the limit put on the transferring of the title.  You can accomplish this by writing the tax liens balance onto the closing costs of the buyer&#8217;s contract.  Many people find this is one of the easiest routes to take and by choosing this route you don&#8217;t have to be responsible for remembering any future taxes placed upon your property.</p>
<p>Some owners don&#8217;t even want to fuss around with selling the property and for them the option is left open of ignoring the situation and letting the government seize the property.  When the government does this they offer the property up for sale at a tax deed auction or sell it to investors as a tax lien certificate.</p>
<p>Despite the method chosen (or not) for paying off tax lines, rest assured that the government will get its money one way or another.  The smart thing to do however, is to be prepared and pay the taxes when they come due instead of having to deal with the ups and downs of tax liens and getting them taken off of properties and credit reports.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Tax foreclosure properties are homes or other real estate that are sold to investors. They are usually acquired when an owner doesn't pay the property tax that is associated with the real estate they own after three years. The property is granted a two year time frame in which the homeowner is expected to pay what is due on the property. If the account is not made current within the two years, the property is deeded to the county. These homes are then placed up for auction and sold to the highest bidder. The new buyer holds the rights to the home, as long the money owed is not paid.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tax foreclosure properties are homes or other real estate that are sold to investors. They are usually acquired when an owner doesn&#8217;t pay the property tax that is associated with the real estate they own after three years. The property is granted a two year time frame in which the homeowner is expected to pay what is due on the property. If the account is not made current within the two years, the property is deeded to the county. These homes are then placed up for auction and sold to the highest bidder. The new buyer holds the rights to the home, as long the money owed is not paid.</p>
<p>Greenie real estate investors are able to acquire these properties at low prices. These properties can be found in a number of places and and markets and are listed in newspapers and periodicals as well as online. In order to buy a home, the hopeful homeowner must be present at the auction. Bids starts small, but can escalate. Depending on where you live, you may be charged a 10% non-refundable fee when you buy. A temporary certificate is given to the owner at the time of sale until a deed can be prepared. This deed is normally prepared and sent in about 60 days.</p>
<p>All properties sold at these actions are sold on an &#8220;as is&#8221; basis. If the new buyer of a property doesn&#8217;t respond to the notification after one month, then they will lose their down payment. The property is then offered to the next highest bidder or bid on again by new bidders and other hungry investors.</p>
<p>These real estate properties are pretty easy to find either through local public records or online. Contacting a Realtor is a useful way to find great deals. Make sure you investigate the real estate because a lot of them need extensive work and repair. But, if you&#8217;re up fr the challenge, the investment can be very rewarding.</p>
<p>First, you need to settle on a geographical location to search for these tax foreclosure properties. If it is not in your area, you&#8217;ll need to weigh the traveling costs. Get as many estimates you can of what the property is really worth and what the cost of repair will be. Do this before you buy. Make sure that you understand the rules involved in the auction as the rules can vary in each state.</p>
