EDITORIAL REVIEW

Purchasing tax lien instruments from city, county, and municipal governments can provide you with very high and secure rates of return, in some cases as high as 12%, 18%, 24%, or even 1,000% or more per year. If performed correctly, investments in tax lien instruments will far outpace stock market performance, even traditional real estate investments. The key is to know how to perform this process correctly. Tax lien certificates and deeds are not purchased through a broker; you purchase these property tax liens directly from the state or county government (depending on the state). This type of investment was created by state law, and state law protects you as the investor. Investing in tax liens and deeds can be very rewarding. Tax liens can be tax deferred or even tax-free. You can purchase them in your self-directed IRA. Interest rates vary but average between 4% and 18%. The interest rates are fixed by local governments, essentially a government-guaranteed loan. Additionally, the investment is secured by real property (real estate). This sounds great, but what is the catch? There really is none, except you must know what you are doing! This groundbreaking and exhaustively researched new book will provide everything you need to know to get you started on generating high-investment returns with low risk, from start to finish. You will learn what property tax liens and tax lien certificates are; how to invest in tax lien certificates; how to buy tax lien certificates; insider secrets to help you double or even triple your investment, how to start with under $1,000; the risks, traps, and pitfalls to avoid; and a detailed directory of states that sell tax lien certificates with contact information. In addition, we spent thousands of hours interviewing, e-mailing, and communicating with hundreds of today’s most successful investors. This book is a compilation of their secrets and proven successful ideas. If you are interested in learning hundreds of hints, tricks, and secrets on how to purchase tax liens and deeds and earn enormous profits, then this book is for you.

Detailed review

I bought Tax Lien books written by Larry Loftis, Jamaine Burrell and Don Sausa and read them in the order listed. All are excellent books. I recommend that you buy all 3 books if you are serious about understanding tax lien investing. I have posted reviews in a "bundled" fashion under all 3 books. You can buy all 3 from amazon for 449.

Loftis consists of 3 parts and 2 appendices. Part one talks about tax liens, part two about tax deeds, part three about the list of states. He discusses procedures of purchasing tax certificates, strategies for investing through liens/deeds, how to compete effectively against the so-called "institutional" investors. He shows the reader how to calculate the yield under different scenarios.

Burrell's book is very detailed, matter of fact approach. All the benefits and pitfalls are covered. There are 11 chapters that discusses in detail liens, deeds, tax sale procedures, delinquent properties, bidding, income and growth, how to obtain financing, legal issues such as setting up LLCs or PCs, foreclosures, various state laws etc.

Don Sausa has takes a complex subject and simplifies it. After reading the first two books, reading Sausa's book is a breeze. It suggests a chapter a day but I think you can probably read through this entire book in about 3 hours. If goes step by step.

Investing in tax liens requires, time, patience and money. One cannot do this "on the side" but it can certainly be a full time job and I can see the potential rewards.

Very thorough, no hype

A very thorough primer into realestate tax lien investing - which states have them, which only have tax DEED auctions, etc. I did find it a little verbose sometimes, but that was more than positively offset by the lack of hype and absence of the typical dozen pages of "convincing market data" that so many investment tomes are guilty of. What I found most valuable is the various charts which layout different states maximum payouts, types of investments offered, etc. You don't have to struggle to find anything.

More viable information than any other similar book I have found todate

Buy this book and avoid the seminars

Tax lien investing is interesting. They are touted as a surefire winning ivestments and many "experts" offer training costing thousands of dollars to "train" you on how to invest in these "goldmines". Do yourself a favor, buy this book and avoid the seminars. You are going to learn by experience and this book will help you get started. The seminars are simply going to part you and your money. Tax liens are not as easy as they sound. You cannot simply go down to the courthouse and buy a 25% lien. Most people trying to get you into this game neglect to mention the fact that large companies will flood the market with lowball offers to obtain a majority of the better tax liens.

No nonsense. No hype. No Details

From reading the cover you might think this is another get rich quick idea. After reading the book, however, you'll find a hype-free matter of fact approach. All the benefits and pitfalls (at least that I could think of) are covered. I went to a seminar where someone pitched an expensive package of services to help someone who wanted to invest in tax lien certificates. Instead I bought this book. It will answer your questions and help you decide if you want to proceed. What the book does not include are all the little details you'll need to actually execute a purchase. This varies a lot by state and would require the book to double in size. So, if you just want to know about these investments, I recommend this book. If you are ready to invest, you'll need more information.
