Bay Cir
Nichols, IA 52766

Here are the basic steps to follow:

• Find out from the tax office the time and rules for the bidding.  It is very important that you understand and follow the rules and regulations specific to the area where you are interested in purchasing tax liens.  Tax liens are handled differently in each county and must be researched to ensure that you are in compliance.
• It is a very good idea to at least drive by the property before bidding. (Please keep in mind that the owner may still be living in the property and their privacy should be respected).  There have been instances where the amount of tax liens on a property are more than the property is worth. It may be in a bad area; it may be abandoned and run down; it may have burned down. It is possible to buy a lien that has little or no value, so familiarity with the property is important.
• In most instances, if you are the successful bidder for a tax certificate, the rules require that periodic notice to the property owner be given. Be familiar with the rules for notice and follow them carefully. Failure to give notice, as required by law, may jeopardize your investment.

There is a highly organized market for real estate tax liens and many sophisticated investors buy them. Tax liens can offer higher returns than many other types of interest-bearing investments and represent an opportunity for very little cash. The market for tax lien properties is competitive and the taxing authorities have specific rules to be followed. A wise investor will research each property to make certain his investment is secure.
