Okay so the lien can wind up costing more than
the purchase price, correct??? and then there would be the cost of foreclosing on the property should they not pay the lien-correct? so, how does this turn out to be the great investment Ihear about??
Is there a way to weed out situations so I can keep
my lien investent to minimum??? Any courses on
tax liens/saes you can recommend??? Youhave been very helpful, thank you.

price lower than appraised???Help! Reply to email

In NY the only sales i’m aware of are tax sales, where you get a deed at the sale.
Ben is correct, if you own the property, you pay the taxes. Otherwise, they will get prorated when you sell.
However, if you buy a tax lien, you are responsible for property taxes during the holding period of the tax certificate or tax lien.

if you become owner of the property then you are responsible for your propery taxes. The good news is if you did your due diligence properly you should have
acquired that property at a mere fraction of its value. This would allow you to sell it below market value (which means it would sell quickly) but still at a huge gain.

if you hold a tax certificate, the property owner is still responsible for the taxes, as lienholder you merely have the option of paying them if the owner continues to be delinquent.
Yes, I’ve heard that too… - Posted by Ben (NJ)

NYC properties are far too valuable for the city government to let get away so they don’t sell liens or properties. However, the surrounding parts of NY do. I believe Nassau County, Long Island just had their sale.
Look into other counties in Long Island.

In many states, not keeping current with the taxes will reult in a NEW lien being sold on the property.
This lien will have priority over yours and ultimately
they will foreclose on the property, wiping out your lien.
