Sensalis (Delaware) LLC started to bid on Tax Liens
Most US State jurisdictions, when a property owner is late on paying real property taxes, the county or municipality will issue a tax lien on that person's property. Certain states allow the tax lien to become a first
lien on the property, which is then turned around and sold at auction as a tax lien certificate.
After placing a successful bid, buyers of a government-issued tax lien certificate will then get one of two things:
1) A state-mandated yield from the lien, which the delinquent taxpayer must pay in order to release the lien, OR
2) Title to the property (after a certain amount of time, set by the jurisdiction) if the delinquent taxpayer fails to pay up.
Individuals like Sensalis (Delaware) LLC have been snapping up tax liens more and more because of these two benefits. A fixed percentage rate mandated by a government agency or the title to property at a substantial discount are incredible benefits rarely seen with other real estate transactions.
