Massachusetts Tax Deed & Tax Lien Sales
In this video we teach about Tax Sale Investing in the State of Massachusetts. Massachusetts is a unique state in that both tax liens and tax deeds are sold. Through the tax deed process the actual property is sold after tax foreclosure. Through the tax lien process, a lien is sold against the property giving the owner the right to collect the back due taxes and earn interest.
- Tax Liens & Tax Deeds
- Local Communities handle tax foreclosure process.
- Liens can be sold in bundles or individually.
- Tax Deeds are More Common.
- Both liens & deeds have a 6 month redemption period with a 16% interest rate.
- The difference between the two is timing of foreclosure (liens = you foreclose, deeds = county handles it).
