 FOR A BEGINNER LIKE ME, FIRST BOOK TO BUY, VERY SIMPLE May 18, 2010
L. Lim (Missouri)
I probably should have read this book first before reading others. This turned a complexed topic into something very simple and the topics from bidding in an auction to even finding auctions are broken down into easy steps. Highly recommended for beginners. Very, very simple to read and seems to have been designed for folks that can't stand reading legalise.
The online web site support is unique. I was able to look up upcoming online auctions that's happening this month. Easy reading and free support? Money well spent.

Don't waste your money on this book. The book by Loftis has everything that this book has plus more.
I wonder if the author has ever attended a tax lien sale or purchased a tax deed or lien. And why would
it take seven days to understand what he is trying to say?
Easy to read and funny March 28, 2010

The author managed to give some fresh humor to this book, keeping it from feeling like a text book. Wordsmiths would probably go crazy on his writing style. The truth is, his humor is what has kept me from getting bored. Plenty of books tend to stretch out the point, while in this book, most of the meat is solidly outlined in seven easy steps with plenty of illustrations. This book gets to the point.
So, for those who want to gain knowledge and guidance regarding the real estate tax liens and foreclosure, along with some fun and humor, this is a good choice to start. On top of that, apparently he answers emails on questions on his web site. If you want a text book with no humor on real estate and want no pictures or illustrations, this is not the book for you.
Extremely Basic March 22, 2010

This book, in my opinion, was not a very well written book. I have several reasons for this.
1) The book seems to advertise other sites intensely, this takes away from actual content inside the book. The content that is provided is nothing that you can't find out by doing a couple hours of research on the internet anyway.
2) I really hate reading books that have typos in them. I am okay with the occasional mistake here and there, but the author of this book must not have taken English classes throughout his schooling. The book is infested with incomplete words, sentence fragments, and misspellings. YUCK!
3) Almost half the book was taken up by pictures, and tutorials of mundane things. (Again removing from actual content)
So, in conclusion, if you already have a basic knowledge of how tax liens/deeds work, I suggest you move on to a more advanced title. There were some useful resources pointed out in the book, but much of the material in the book is outdated.
 More on Tax Liens and Foreclosure Deeds... February 19, 2010

This week I decided to learn a little more about tax liens and foreclosure deeds. I read the book The Complete Guide to Real Estate Tax Liens and Foreclosure Deeds by Don Sausa. This book in combination with The 16% Solution will give you all the information you will ever need on the subject.
The book is very short and is broken into 7 days, and the book is so short it would only take a slow reader about 4 hours to read it. The flow of chapters is really good. It works through the process from beginning to end, so if you were to use it as a reference it wouldn't be hard at all to find what you are looking for at all.
The thing I liked most about this book was the shear amount of resources it opened my eyes to. It shows websites to find the liens and deeds and also shows websites that will offer support for selling or research. I even think this book's resources would be great for the average real estate investor. There isn't a lot of information that I could convey to you that I didn't already mention in The 16% Solution blog. Although, if you are interested in tax liens and found they aren't available in your state, consult this book because it has a full list of the states that offer foreclosure deeds. Minnesota, for example, does not offer liens, but does offer deeds. They are more expensive than liens, but you own the property directly after the sale. No one has to default on their payment for you to come into ownership of property because the state already owns the property and they just want to get rid of it. The deed is just a liability for the state, so they will give you a discounted price to take it off their hands.
Personally, I think that investing in tax liens is something that should just be done as a hobby because the return on investment does not justify the time it takes to go through the whole process. However, it is really fun to search out and go to auction. Foreclosure Deeds, on the other hand, can definitely be worth while. They require much more due diligence, but your return on investment can be incredible. With the current domestic stocks and bonds market many people are looking for alternative investments and if you analyze the current economic climate you realize the dollar is in for a real shock... I'm talking hyperinflation. So looking for alternative investments is a great idea and it's fun to do. Trading in your American Greenbacks for a commodity is a great plan and if you choose real estate as your commodity, more power to you! With the book I will be reading and posting on next week, I will discuss alternative investments for you to trade your dollars for.
As I said, this book would be great for anyone interested in real estate investing. I think it's very clear and explained in very simple terms. If you have any questions on the book don't hesitate to ask. I would be more than happy to help anyone that wants it.
