Product Description
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 todays 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.

This book is a fantastic start to investing in tax liens. Multiple editing errors were somewhat annoying but the information is great.
Clear read with good information. April 24, 2010

This book is well-organized and provides clear and straight-forward information on bidding for and owning tax deeds and tax lien certificates. I live in Florida, so bidding on tax lien certificates is my main area of interest. I particularly like the state-by-state charts included at the back of the book.
An excellent overview and a great place to start! March 21, 2010

Recently, I finished reading this book and found that it was reasonably easy to read and understand. This is the first book that I have read cover to cover on this seemingly complicated subject. This book is well written and flows as well or better than a text book, however may lack the personal style or past experiences, many like myself may be seeking to hand hold or walk the reader closer to their goals.
In my opinion, this book is an excellent place to start since it seems very thorough, well researched and appears to offer an excellent overview of tax lien investing. In addition, the author shared the potential for success and/or loss, however does not give much in the way of personal opinions or what some may suggest would be fluff or an overly positive sell on the appeal of this type of investing. Therefore, the points made seem to be based on objective research rather than biased hype through personal opinion.
The author explains generally much of what needs to be done in order to invest in this type of investment, however does not go into great detail or depth on what specific steps need to be taken to actually get there. My gut feeling is that it usually takes reading a few books on the subject or taking a comprehensive course to gain a well rounded level of knowledge on most subjects. Also, most tax lien states have their similarities, but also have distinct differences which may be a complicated task to achieve, in a book of this size.
Although there are very good general suggestions and guidance on how to get started and what needs to be done to be successful, as well as how to minimize the chance for loss, it seems that the author does not go as deep as some other authors on this subject. It is not clear how much personal experience the author has had in the area of tax lien investment, since I do not rememeber personal experiences being shared or much in the way of tips for success from experience.
That tempered with the fact that the author has consulted with other investors for their input and contribution and appears to have done a great deal of research, based upon the bibliography in the book suggests that the author did their professional homework. Additionally, following a review of other books written by the author, it is apparent they have had success in writing on other related subjects such as investment, real estate and business. Therefore in my opinion the author has created a very useful tool to begin building a foundation of knowledge, on the subject.
As prior reviewers have mentioned, this area of investment takes a certain amount of knowledge and experience in order to be successful, therefore one should not expect that reading one book on the subject will prepare the reader to do so without further education and experience. As others have mentioned doing, I too have purchased another book or two on the subject to gain a deeper and more well rounded education, on the subject.
In conclusion, I feel confident in recommending this book as a good source of general information in order to begin the education process of building a foundation, in this area of investment. However, as mentioned earlier, as with most books on investment a reader will likely need to read a few books or more in order to have a well rounded knowledge, on this somewhat complicated subject.

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.
