Tax foreclosure properties are said to be an overwhelming investment. Here is something you can look into to bag a huge amount of money from the overages they create at the tax sale.

The hidden opportunity to profit is from the massive finder’s fees people are making connecting former owners of tax foreclosure properties with the extra money that was bid for their properties at the tax sale. This is called the overage, or surplus funds, or excess proceeds, overbids, overplus - it differs state by state but they all boil down to the same thing.

The government holds these funds for the owner in most cases, but owners are rarely able to be reached once their house has been lost to tax sale.

This is the reason money finders are so important to have and why they are paid so well. If you can find these funds and then track down their owners, you are given the right for a 30-50% finder’s fee because these funds are not governed by state law. Since you found it, you charge whatever you like but within reasons. This means that you can easily create a six-figure per year income just pursuing these lost funds on behalf of their (overjoyed and grateful) owners.

With the rising rate of foreclosure, these funds are being created every day, and without more money finders a lot of owners will lose their money permanently to the agency holding it.
