Property taxes are decided collectively by school boards, town boards, legislators, and councils. The tax rate is set by collating the amount of funds an area needs. This is then divided that by the “total taxable” assessed value of the area. The tax an individual pays is computed by multiplying the tax rate by the assessed value of your property and then deducting any applicable exceptions. Property taxes are at an all time high. Studies indicate that they have increased more than 35% in five years.

Property is assessed by determining property costs in any given area. Property is valued by studying: the current sale price of properties in the area, costs to be incurred to replace the property, potential realization of property if it is rented, sold, or gifted, and the historical value of a property.

Bank foreclosed homes are homes that the lender now owns because the initial mortgage holder failed to make the payments.

Meanwhile, the bank is now responsible for all of the property taxes. This is a loosing proposition for the lender and they are looking to get rid of these bank foreclosed homes.

That is why bank foreclosed homes make such an attractive investment for the forward looking individual with cash in hand or credit availability. There is a lot of profit potential in these properties. These homes can usually be picked up at significantly less than their appraised value.
