Delinquent Tax Sales - Getting Real Estate Cheaply

Delinquent tax sales can take a couple of different forms, either of which can provide the average investor with a chance to make some real money. In one form, the certificates themselves will be up for grabs. This gives the government the chance to recoup their back taxes and you the chance to charge the homeowner interest on their missed payments. The other type is where the real estate itself goes up for bid. Often, this property is priced to sell. If you don't have a tremendous amount of competition, you can score properties for much less than they would typically go for on the open market. Here is some information about buying real estate cheaply.
