As a beginner to the Tax Lien business can be a bit scary. Finding someone to teach you the business ca be pricey and sometimes you won't get your moneys worth. However working with Ken was such an honor and smooth experience. His course is very informative and amazing because he explains everything well. Any doubt or questions he'll ecplain it to you. He's just a phone call away. I was able to participate in the Arizona auction and won 4 bids. Now I can do that with other states or counties. I thank Ken for holding my hand through the process and helping me with any questions I had. Definitely recommend him to other future investors wanting to get into the Tax Lien business. I look forward to doing more business with Ken. Thank You.

FAQS
What is a Tax Lien Certificate?
A tax lien certificate is a document that is issued by a local government, such as a county or municipality, when a property owner fails to pay their property taxes. The tax lien certificate represents a claim against the property for the unpaid taxes, and it gives the holder of the certificate the right to collect the unpaid taxes, plus interest, from the property owner. If the property owner does not pay the taxes, the holder of the tax lien certificate may have the right to foreclose on the property and sell it in order to pay the taxes. Tax lien certificates are typically sold at auction to the highest bidder, who then becomes the holder of the certificate.
How do Tax Liens Work?
When a property owner fails to pay their property taxes, the local government has the right to place a tax lien on the property. This means that the government has a legal claim against the property for the unpaid taxes. The government will then issue a tax lien certificate, which represents the claim against the property.
The tax lien certificate is typically sold at auction to the highest bidder, who becomes the holder of the certificate. The holder of the tax lien certificate has the right to collect the unpaid taxes, plus interest, from the property owner. If the property owner does not pay the taxes, the holder of the tax lien certificate may have the right to foreclose on the property and sell it in order to pay the taxes. In some cases, the property owner may be able to pay the taxes and have the lien removed.
In other cases, the property may be sold at a tax lien sale to pay the taxes. The proceeds from the sale are used to pay the taxes, and any remaining funds are returned to the property owner.
Is there a Basic Guide to Buying Tax Liens?
Yes, here is a basic guide to buying tax liens:
1. Research the market: Look for properties with unpaid taxes in an area where you are interested in investing. You can find this information through the local government’s website or by contacting the county treasurer’s office.
2. Attend a tax lien auction: Many states hold auctions for tax liens, and you can find out when and where these auctions are held by contacting the county treasurer’s office.
3. Determine your budget: Determine how much you are willing to spend on a tax lien, taking into account the potential return on your investment and the risks involved.
4. Bid on a tax lien: At the auction, you will bid on a tax lien by offering to pay a certain amount of the unpaid taxes. The highest bidder wins the lien and becomes the holder of the tax lien certificate.
5. Collect the unpaid taxes: If the property owner does not pay the taxes, you can collect the unpaid taxes, plus interest, from the property owner. If the property owner does not pay, you may have the right to foreclose on the property and sell it in order to pay the taxes.
Keep in mind that investing in tax liens can be risky, and it is important to do your due diligence and understand the risks before investing. It is also a good idea to consult with a financial advisor or attorney before buying a tax lien.

What Exactly is A Tax Defaulted Property Auction?
A tax defaulted property auction is a sale of real estate that has been seized by a local government for nonpayment of property taxes. When a property owner fails to pay their property taxes, the local government has the right to place a tax lien on the property and eventually sell the property to pay the unpaid taxes. This sale is known as a tax defaulted property auction, and it is typically held by the county or municipality that has the lien on the property. At a tax defaulted property auction, interested buyers can bid on the property in an effort to purchase it. The winning bidder becomes the new owner of the property and is responsible for paying any outstanding taxes. The proceeds from the sale are used to pay the taxes, and any remaining funds are returned to the former property owner.
Tax defaulted property auctions can be a good opportunity for investors to purchase properties at a discounted price, but they can also be risky. It is important to do your due diligence and carefully research the property before bidding, as the property may have other liens or encumbrances that will need to be paid off. It is also a good idea to consult with a financial advisor or attorney before participating in a tax defaulted property auction.
What Is a Tax Deed?
A tax deed is a legal document that transfers ownership of real estate from the government to a private individual. A tax deed is typically issued after a tax sale, which is a sale of real estate that has been seized by the government for nonpayment of property taxes.
When a property owner fails to pay their property taxes, the local government has the right to place a tax lien on the property and eventually sell the property to pay the unpaid taxes.

It is important to carefully review the terms of the tax deed before purchasing a property at a tax sale, as the property may have other liens or encumbrances that will need to be paid off. It is also a good idea to consult with a financial advisor or attorney before participating in a tax sale.
