IRS Tax Liens - Risk Examination
An examination of every feature that may prevent returns on investment is important for a tax lien investor.
There are so many factors which may affect this.
The very nature of the deal or some other procedure or even the law may prevent you from making the expected returns on your investment.
The Risk of Failing to Carry Out Research There is no economic dealing which does not have its accompanying risk.
This is the more reason why it is always recommended that an adequate amount on meaningful investigation should be done ahead of venturing into any form of investment.
The first risk that you may encounter is the risk of not knowing the current market trends, not knowing what to do or what not to be done.
In fact, this is a very serious risk because if care is not taken, your business might not even take off.
We can recall the fact that each state has the autonomy to decide on its own laws in relation to tax liens.
This means that there are many rules and regulations that you must acquaint yourself with.
Remember that there are equally procedures that you must know.
Failure to keep abreast with all this is yet another risk that you are facing.
There is always a need to minimise the risks that you may face and a good way to do this is always to know what obtains in the tax lien market.
For example, if you are aware of the laws, the procedures, the rights of third parties, the rates of interests and even the fines that are applicable to tax liens, you would have reduced the risks of failing to make profits as any normal tax lien investor will do.
Equal attention should also be given the period of grace that will be open to the taxpayer and the limitation period that will be given to the creditor.
What you should always do as a careful tax lien investor is to weigh every of your actions in relation to the risk you face.
Making Use of Tax Liens to Pay For Real Estate If after the period of grace, it is still considered that the taxpayer is unable to pay his debts, the owner of the lien can institute a foreclosure proceeding on the property of the taxpayer.
This is in order to get a valid title over the property.
As soon as this happens, the market value of the property may become greater than the real value of the property.
Remember that an extra risk of getting a profitable value of the property in the current market will exist.
The tax investor may decide to use his tax lien to get a valid title over the property of the taxpayer.
What is more to this is that the time and expenses involved in prolonged court actions will further have an effect on what the tax investor stand to benefit from his investment.
These and other related expenses will normally be subtracted from the profits.
Remember that such court actions are always envisaged because there may be conflicting claims on the same property of the defaulting taxpayer.
If it is found that the current market value of the property is far less than the value of the property, then using tax liens to pay for real estate should not be recommended.
What should always be considered is that making a sensible investment decision ahead of investing in tax liens should be your best consideration.
But you must also know that there are so many risks in tax lien investments.
The only advantage here is that most of the risks can be avoided if you carry out a thorough research of the market.
