WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?
Unlike many investment opportunities that are only accessible to accredited investors, our approach under Regulation CF allows almost anyone to participate. This democratization of investment opportunities means that our clients can reap the benefits of high returns and risk-managed investments.
HOW CORE TAX DEEDS WORKS
Your investment is combined with others to allow you to have uninterrupted progress in securing profits via distressed real estate encumbered by taxes owed to the cities, counties, schools, and other taxing jurisdictions. These sheriff’s deeds on property are then converted into marketable deeds and sold at wholesale. You will receive a periodic update of properties purchased & sold.
TAX DEEDS IN TEXAS
The recent shift to conducting tax deed sales online and live, as opposed to on the traditional courthouse steps, has expanded our reach. With all 254 counties in Texas, investors have a broad selection of properties. Tax Deed Investors LLC can now cover a larger number of parcels more efficiently in this evolving landscape of online auctions in Texas.
Tax Deed & Tax Lien States
➤ A Tax Lien is a legal claim against a property when the owner doesn’t pay their taxes. The government places a lien on the property and gives the owner a set amount of time to pay. If the owner doesn’t pay, the lien can be sold to a buyer at a tax lien sale. The buyer can then collect interest on the unpaid taxes. Tax liens can be a cheap investment for investors, with returns that accrue monthly as simple interest.
➤ With a Tax Deed, the government sells the property at auction to recover unpaid taxes. The starting price at the auction is usually equal to the total amount of back taxes, interest, penalties, legal costs, and other fees owed on the property. The buyer of the property takes ownership, including any unpaid taxes. The previous owner can sometimes buy back the property by paying the buyer the purchase price plus an additional fee.
INVESTMENT STRATEGY
RISK AND RETURN
Investing in Texas tax deed properties offers some of the highest returns in the market, with interest rates ranging from 25% to 50%.
Lucrative Returns
- High Interest Rates on Redemptions – In Texas, taxpayers who are late in paying property taxes must pay a penalty of 25% if they redeem their property within the first year or 180 days. If they wait two years to redeem the property, the penalty increases to 50%. This high-interest return on our investment is unmatched by other tax lien or deed states.
- Calculated Redemption Amounts – The redemption amount is based on the final bid price at auction, not the opening bid. This means that investors earn interest on the total amount invested, including any competitive bidding overage. Regardless of how quickly the property is redeemed, Texas law requires a full 25% or 50% return, unlike other states where interest rates diminish over time.
- Extensive County Coverage – With all 254 counties in Texas holding monthly auctions, CORE Tax Deeds has a broad selection of properties.
- After Auction Opportunities – Unsold properties, known as struck-off properties, can often be purchased post-auction at a discount, often without a redemption period, offering further investment potential.
- Rental Income Rights – Investors can collect rental income from properties immediately after purchase, providing a potential additional revenue stream.
RISK MANAGEMENT
While the benefits of investing in tax deed properties are substantial, we have implemented robust due diligence processes to mitigate the risks associated with property acquisition.
- Lien Research: Identify and assess all potential outstanding liens.
- Property Inspections: Personal or proxy inspections of properties are performed prior to bidding.
- Comprehensive Due Diligence: Identify any additional fees or dues not covered in the foreclosure.
- Strategic Purchases: Implement a targeted approach to acquire properties at a fraction of their market value – 30 cents to the dollar.
- Immediate Property Management: Secure and insure properties immediately after purchase.
