5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable read, June 2, 2007

This review is from: Complete Guide to Real Estate Tax Liens and Foreclosure Deeds: Learn in 7 Days: Investing Without Losing Series (Paperback)

This is an enjoyable light reading on tax liens. Although the book says you can learn it in seven days, I think you can probably read through this entire book in about six hours. You don't carry a huge bunch of pages with useless glossaries. It goes straight to the point and step by step. I also recommend reading Profit by Investing in Real Estate Tax Liens: Earn Safe, Secured, and Fixed Returns Every Time by Loftis. Our local library showcased these two books actually during the tax season. I don't think they knew these books were actually for real estate tax liens rather than personal taxes. But I'm glad they showed it!

To break it down, here's why I like this book --

a. It's a very easy read, you can get done with it in 6 hours.

b. It's cheaper than a tax lien system I found online by supposed gurus who charge an arm and a leg. yikes!

c. It's written by someone who actually buys tax liens and not just someone that writes for a living. Those books tend to "look great" but lacking in content.

d. It isn't boring, it is illustrated.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good book - don't buy the older version Ultimate Foreclosure Kit, March 2, 2007

This review is from: Complete Guide to Real Estate Tax Liens and Foreclosure Deeds: Learn in 7 Days: Investing Without Losing Series (Paperback)

I've bought several foreclosure books and this one is one of my favorites. This effectively has some of the most detailed information about tax liens and tax deed foreclosures but in a very short form (to the point). One big thing that made me buy this book is the online support -- I was able to get responses within two hours from the publisher on questions relating Georgia tax liens. That's not bad, considering some books don't even have web sites. I mentioned on the subject header to not buy the Ultimate Foreclosure Kit which is also by the same author. This book is more updated, has more information, and is discounted online.

5.0 out of 5 stars Something to learn about tax liens, May 12, 2007

This review is from: Complete Guide to Real Estate Tax Liens and Foreclosure Deeds: Learn in 7 Days: Investing Without Losing Series (Paperback)

This 'complete guide' to tax liens is a misnomer since all tax lien laws tend to change and it is highly affected by those changes. But what is good about this particular book is the fact that it has a corresponding web site...such as the changes on Michigan or the new tax lien sales happening in Florida.

The book with the web site is why this is a better buy than most of the tax lien books I've read. There's also a question and answer link that I've found useful (I'm not sure if you talk to the author or someone else though).

Overall, a good book with online resources.

Tax deed auctions are typically more expensive than tax lien auctions. The price of tax liens are based off how much property taxes are owed, while the price of tax deeds are usually based on the number of bidders and their perceived market value of that property. &quote;

Highlighted by 3 Kindle users

Some states simply sell tax deeds and do not have tax lien auctions; hence, there are no redemption periods or any tax lien conversions to keep track of. You simply own the property immediately after the sale is complete. &quote;
