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).
