Now what?

You just closed out a CD and have $50,000.00 to invest.  This money is for the fixed rate of return section of your portfolio.  You want to keep that fixed rate of return and are not willing to risk the principal amount.

Well let’s look at current yields of the most popular fixed rate investments favored by the 95% of the investing public:

Certificates of Deposit 12 Mon.    .64%   www.bankrate.com

Money Market Funds            .93%  www.bankrate.com

Tax Free Municipals            3%  www.fmsbonds.com

AAA Corporate Bonds 10 Years     2.55%  www.fmsbonds.com

Treasuries 10 Years            2.74%  www.ustreas.com

Depending on what investments you favor, the Tax Free Munis as of 9/13/2010 give you the best yield.  Even 3%, tax free, compared to other investments seems pretty thin.

When looking for above average returns we need to stick with a tax type of investment.  Right now tax foreclosure products like tax lien certificates and tax deeds should be on your radar for consideration.

Yields on tax foreclosure products can range from 6% all the way up to 24% depending on the property that secures it, amount of taxes unpaid and the repayment period.

Can you see why only the biggest institutional and wealthiest investors come to tax foreclosures to find better yields on their money?  Above average rates of return, back by a government and secured with real estate.

Returns vary, do your due diligence and get professional advice.  The only question we have at www.taxforeclosures.com is what’s stopping you?
