how do you buy back tax properties?

They are auctioned at the clerk of the courts office. My county does it once per year. You will need to call them to see how often they due it and how to register. There are some great books out on it though. SOme investors fly to other states to do it. Texas has a great program and so does Florida. Nevada is quite good also.

I bought my home with cash. I would highly recommend hiring a lawyer. He or she can handle all the little details that most normal people don't think about. Make sure you go to town hall and make sure the taxes are up to date, also. You can also get a realtor, preferably a 'buyers agent', to sort through the paperwork. A lawyer works 'by the hour'. A realtor on a percentage of the sale price (or most do.)

if you and your spouse lived in the property for 2 of the past 5 years, you each could exempt $250k from capital gains. another option is using a 1031 exchange to purchase another real estate investment that would defer capital gains and pay you tax advantaged income. consult your local independant financial advisor and you can get a list of 1031 properties. your tax advisor can project the tax for you. you should set aside the $ in a one year cd. good luck

What you are referring to is for primary residences after people have lived there for 2 years... This does not apply in you situation.\n\nWhat does apply is a procedure known as a 1031 exchange.  1031 exchanges allow you to totally defer your capital gains tax by reinvesting the proceeds of your sale into another 'like kind' property.  (like-kind refers to the other property being investment use as compared to personal use).\n\nI'm finishing up the testing on a 1031 exchange site.  The information is real, and many of the test properties are available listings as well.\n\nFeel free to check the site out for the basics on a 1031 exchange.

Honestly there is no way online. If you do find something then you will have to pay out money at the beginning plus have to pay your own taxes out of your checks. ( No money taken from your checks meaning you set money back for the end of the year)

The only way to reduce the taxes on the gain on real estate is to do a "Section 1031 Exchange".  The only problem is that you do not receive cash.  You received another piece of real estate.\n\nThere is not a way to reduce taxes on the sale of stocks at a gain.

You can do a like-kind exchange, where you trade the property for another, and defer your gain until you sell the new property. The rules are complicated--you should talk to a CPA.

First of all, you're obviously no dummy if you already own 3 properties.  You've got some good equity and you're selling at the top of the market.\n\nWhat you need to figure out is how much money you're really going to have after you sell the properties.  If you'be been a landlord, I assume that you've been depreciating the properties while you've been renting them.  Well, now you're going to have to pay that all back to the government.  Also, you're going to have to pay capital gains tax on your properties (unless you've lived in one of them for at least 2 of the past 5 years), so there goes more of your equity.  All that affects how much money you'll have to invest, so figure that out.  It's important.\n\nNext, you'll have to figure out what your goals are.  If intend to buy another home to live in when you get to Florida, you're going to have to put some of your money into something fairly liquid for your down payment, like a  money market fund.\n\nI see you're participating in your employer's 401(k) fund.  That's good.  I hope you're contributing up to the maximum match.  Free money is good.\n\nNext, if you're not doing the IRA thing yet, do it.  Whether you choose the traditional or Roth IRA depends on whether you think you'll be in a higher or lower tax bracket when you retire.  Personally, with taxes at a very low point in history and a ballooning federal deficit, I'd bet on tax rates being higher when you retire so if I were you, I'd choose a Roth IRA.  Tax-free growth and withdrawal are good.\n\nIf you've maxed the IRA contribution out, go back to the 401(k).  Tax deductable contributions are good.\n\nFinally, if you still have money left over,  I'd put half into an index fund covering the total US stock market and half in an index fund covering the international market.  Go for no-load funds with low expenses.  I'd recommend looking at Vanguard, T Rowe Price and Fidelity fund families.\n\nIf you really want a good investment, go buy a book on investing so you can decide what makes sense for you. Sure, you could give your money to a financial advisor but how do you know he's not just in it for the fees and commissions he charges you? How do you know his advice is right for you? You need at least a foundation so you can make an informed decision. Frankly, nobody's ever going to care as much about your money as you are, so learn at least enough to know if any advice you're given is any good.  Personally, I like "The Only Investing Guide You'll Ever Need" by Andrew Tobias. It'll give you the basics. Good luck.

Go around to all the fisbo in your town and ask them if you could bring them a buyer that would net them the same, could you list their house. Call all the landlords that are advertising apartments for rent in the newspaper and ask them if they would be willing to cash in on all the hard work they have done on their property. Personal observation will be your number one source of leads.

If you have possession of the certificates, you can sell them through the company's transfer agent.  Read the back of the certificate for the address.  Call the transfer agent to get the details of how to send the stock registered mail, and they will send you back the money.

Here's the thing about rental properties:\n1.  Make sure you have at least 10% down for the purchase, because most lenders will not go higher than 90% LTV on an investment property.\n\n2.  Make sure you either know how to perform maintenance on the property, or know someone who is both skilled and honest.  You'll need to know someone who can do plumbing, roofing, gutters, windows, drywall, flooring, landscaping, the list goes on.\n\n3.  Start looking for tenants when you sign the purchase agreement.  You don't want that property sitting empty.\n\nRental properties can sometimes be a pain.  But, they can be very lucrative.  I have a former client that owns about 10 of them, and makes a buttload of money of them.  You may also want to look into a property management group.

Don't listen to idiots who tell you to play with stocks. I don't believe in investing in common shares of anything. Use your money to buy land. \nWith decent credit and $20k liquid cash you are able to control around $200,000+- worth of property.. \n  \n       Buy large parcels of land and parcel it out. \nYou can usually at least double your money that way.\nMake sure you do some research and see that zoning will allow it,\n    If that doesn't work out you could always flip residential property.
