How to Get Land Dirt Cheap

Investing in real estate has been historically and continues to be the fastest and easiest route to wealth for those who were not born with the financial resources to get there by another route. This blog is all about reaching that goal through buying and selling tax deeds and tax lien certificates. These are properties that taxing authorities are selling as a result of owners who are in tax default. The owners have let the property go and the taxing authority now sells them through land auctions and negotiation.

The properties can be held as an investment for appreciation or it can also be exciting and fun to locate a property and purchase it way below value then turn around and sell it for a nice hefty profit. One would think finding such deals would be difficult and rare. But I am here to tell you that those deals are a daily occurrence and may be even in your very own back yard.

However, even if you live in an area where very few of these properties exist, in this age of internet and airplanes they can be delivered right to your finger tips. Tax deeds and tax liens are available in every state in the U.S. They can be bought and sold by letter, by email, by phone and by the internet.

I have files of transactions I have made in the past few years that absolutely transformed my bank account. Properties I purchased in other states and didn't have to leave town to do it. You can do it too.

So, let's get started . . .
