5.0 out of 5 stars great overview without the self-promotion
An easy to read concise look at the tax lien and deed industry with a really useful list of questions to ask when you call counties to find out about their sales. Most other books I've read deal with Lien OR deed purchase. This deals with both. I don't like to spend a lot of time reading I would rather do and this was definitely the book to get me doing. Very motivating.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor as a BOOK, ok as a pamphlet!
I was extremely disappointed with this "BOOK". Page 29 to 53 consists of a glossary. If I wanted a real estate glossary, I'd buy one. Oh, yeah, I did buy one, years ago. Page 55 to 107 is sample forms. Again if I wanted a real estate forms book I'd buy one. Oh yeah.... Page 109 and 4 lines on page 110 is the "closing". Page 111 to page 128 is an Appendix. Page...

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor as a BOOK, ok as a pamphlet!, January 15, 2003
This review is from: What Your Bank Doesn't Want You to Know . . .: . . .About Where to Invest Your Money (Paperback)
I was extremely disappointed with this "BOOK". Page 29 to 53 consists of a glossary. If I wanted a real estate glossary, I'd buy one. Oh, yeah, I did buy one, years ago. Page 55 to 107 is sample forms. Again if I wanted a real estate forms book I'd buy one. Oh yeah.... Page 109 and 4 lines on page 110 is the "closing". Page 111 to page 128 is an Appendix. Page 129 to 134 is additional reading and business services. Page 135 & 136 is the author's biography. So where the heck is the book?

The "book" is pages 1 to 27. Page 28 is blank. The information presented is done so by a professional author, who admits to just learning about Tax Certificates herself from a client. Well maybe the client could write a better "book". I know I could.

There are much better books available on the subject including
Moskowitz's 16% Solution, as well as Lin Stone's book, Thomas Hendrick's book and several others.

DON'T waste your money on this slim little fluff of 27 pages that has the audacity to call itself a "book". I feel ripped off and wish the author would give me my money back!

5.0 out of 5 stars It really works!, January 20, 2003
This review is from: What Your Bank Doesn't Want You to Know . . .: . . .About Where to Invest Your Money (Paperback)
This book is a great start to give you the tools that you need to become profitable at purchasing tax deeds and liens. The glossary is extremely helpful in deciphering the "language" of this area of investments, and I have been able to utilize several of legal forms included in the book myself.
I have been able to personally work with the author learning how to purchase tax lien certificates, as well as tax deeds at various auctions in several different states.
This is an incredible opportunity, and is not like playing the stock market and hoping for the best. This is the most secure investment with the highest return rate that I'm aware of. This is a great book for someone who is looking for a high return with little risk, or for someone who is looking to make some extra money part time, or as a full time job.

1.0 out of 5 stars Extremely disappointing, December 4, 2002

This review is from: What Your Bank Doesn't Want You to Know . . .: . . .About Where to Invest Your Money (Paperback)
I bought based on the glowing reviews of others here. This book may be helpful if you've never heard of tax liens or tax deeds before. Then the 17 pages that are the "meat" of this book may be very helpful.

The remainder is the author repeating herself ad nauseum in a 'get started' pep talk. Blank pages at the end of each chapter, a glossary of terms, very basic legal forms, most of which aren't specific to the topic at hand. In trying to further pad her information from a brochure into a book, she went so far as to list the names of every county in every state!

And of course, she has suggested reading. Only "The 16% Solution" addresses the relevant topic, the remainder are your usual array of self-help, business motivational books (7 Habits, Win Friends, etc.)

1.0 out of 5 stars pamphlet review #2, June 16, 2003

This review is from: What Your Bank Doesn't Want You to Know . . .: . . .About Where to Invest Your Money (Paperback)
I agree with a previous reviewer, this is a booklet, not a book. My wife and I read this book separately and we both thought it was a waste of money for the content. Granted, there is a little bit of information that one could use, but not much. What's worse are the "forms" the author supplied in the book. Are they examples or are they for actual use? She would've been better off supplying a CD of them which would make them of some use to the reader.
I would get the 16% Solution, a way better, more informative book.

This review is from: What Your Bank Doesn't Want You to Know . . .: . . .About Where to Invest Your Money (Paperback)
I found this book to be extremely informative and helpful. The format and/or writing style is easy to understand (I couldn't be more of a lay person!). It's almost as though the author is right beside you, anticipating your questions and concerns, and offering lots of encouragement along the way. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in investing wisely. Bravo!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Helpful "How To" Guide, May 18, 2002
This review is from: What Your Bank Doesn't Want You to Know . . .: . . .About Where to Invest Your Money (Paperback)
This book has been extremely helpful in teaching me how to invest safely in tax lien certificates. I've been earning 18% annual interest in Florida and couldn't be happier with the results. The author does a great job of getting you started and answering your questions (even if you don't know anything about investing in tax lien certificates). Many other states around the country offer high rates of return to invest in liens against real property. If you want to learn how to make your money work for you...i recommend buying this book.

This review is from: What Your Bank Doesn't Want You to Know . . .: . . .About Where to Invest Your Money (Paperback)
Half of the book is public information and over half of the book is terminology. So much say about the meat of the book.
