User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars easy read
I like this book a lot.
Was broken down into 7 easy steps, pretty easy to comprehend. I have not visited the web site resources in teh book yet. But the book is quick a no non-sense approach, mainly designed for newbies…and yes im a new to this. I saw tax liens on tv and im glad i bought this book before jumping the gun on a TV hotline.
5 Stars Helpful introduction
I was looking for an introduction to foreclosures and tax lien certificates and I was impressed with this book breaking it down to very easy understandable steps. The book takes you from how to finance in credit, if you have no investment money, how to get into auctions, tips on how to bid, and then if you win, how to sell property online. Very easy read! Suggestions for beginners should also look for a for dummies book: Foreclosure Investing For Dummies (For Dummies (Business & Personal Finance))
5 Stars Cutting through the hype
Easy read, loads of information and easily done in bite size chunks over seven days. Very informative and clarifies the hype and BS seen on infomercials about the topic. No promises of easy money but step by step instructions on how to create sound return on investment in these challenging financial times. Good follow up on-line and key research sites. Highly recommended
5 Stars excellent service

5 Stars Easy reading
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. Amazon offers purchase of all 3 for about $49.
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 read through this entire book in less than 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.
