The tax lien foreclosure process is a great form of investing right. Purchasing tax liens and foreclosing on them gives you the ability to purchase properties at a fraction of their cost. Then you can turn around and either rent them out (and make some steady passive income) or sell them at market value for a tidy profit.

Tax Lien priority in foreclosure?

Well it depends on what type of Tax lien we are talking about. But first rule of thumb, liens have priority based on Irs Tax liens are prioritized like most other liens, by date of recordation. Actually IRS liens can fall further down the list based on when perfected.....but all in all, IRS tax liens do not supercede other legal liens State Tax Liens can superced tax liens depending upon State laws but stilll are subordinate to all other previously filed legal liens. Property Tax liens take priority over all liens, regardless or recordation, perfection, etc. Think of it this way, when you buy property, property taxes are an inherent obligation that attaches as soon as the ink on the deed is dry. There's no attorney on earth that can record a mortgage lien that fast!


Can a house be foreclosed on if there is no mortgage?

Absolutely. Mortgage defaults are not the only trigger for a foreclosure. Even though the outstanding debt or mortgage has been paid off, taxes are levied against the property yearly. Delinquent property taxes may trigger the tax title foreclosure process. In addition, Homeowners Associations can initiate foreclosure in the attempt to collect overdue fees. The federal government may also initiate the foreclosure process to collect taxes owed to Uncle Sam. There may be other instances, but for the most part, these are the most common.

What happens to to second lien if borrower defaults on first lien?

It may be accelerated and payable from the excess proceeds of the auction held by the first lienor in foreclosure, if there is any excess. --- improve the answer: If seond lien is not a superior lien (e.g. Tax lien is superior than MGT lien), when the first lien is foreclosured the second lien will be washed out --- Not exists any more. However, a superior lien, even a second lien, will still survive the foreclosure process which means the property owner (who has bought the property during foreclosure) still needs to pay.

A foreclosure wipes out any liens that were recorded subsequent to the mortgage. However, the lender must give notice to the IRS if a tax lien has been recorded against the property.
