What does the road to financial freedom look like for you?

Here’s what it looks like for me…

1. Paying off all consumer debt (I have a lot) and being debt free
2. Contributing to my Infinite Banking life insurance policy so that I can be my own bank
3. Investing in tax liens because they are not tied to the stock market, or the federal interest rate

Your road to financial freedom might look completely different than mine. It might look  something like this and have nothing to do with an infinite banking policy or tax lien investing…

1. Both spouses working in full time jobs with good salaries and benefits
2. Investing in long term and short term rental properties

Whatever your personal path to financial freedom is there are 2 things that will help you get there faster. And that is…

1. Having the right mindset
2. Operating within your Money DNA (i.e. the way that your mind is wired)

That’s why for our next Wealth Building Webinar, I’m bringing an expert to help with both of these things. In fact I refer to him as the Millionaire Maker, because quite frankly that is what he does. I believe in him so much that I’m working with him myself. And I want to bring his insight to you.

This is your Investing For Success Saturday Snapshot

Boy that’s mouthful, so for now on I’ll just refer to these Saturday messages as the Success Saturday Snapshot. In addition to the Investing For Success Saturday audio messages that I send out to subscribers and clients, I’ll post something here…

Today I have a snapshot of a property report for a parcel in an upcoming tax sale in Vigo County Indiana. This should give you an idea of the type of properties you can find in tax lien sales in Indiana. But investors beware…Unless you know how to do your due diligence before you even look at these properties, you can still wind up with a dud. What do I mean?

Investing For Success Due Diligence

Before I even identified this property, I filter the tax sale list by property type and area. I filtered out the high crime cities. I filtered the list to show only the best places to invest in for that county. How did I do that?

It’s really very easy, and didn’t take much time at all. I used a couple of resources that make it easy to do. One is a paid data service that I make available to all of my clients. And the other is a free resource that anyone can use.

I use the free resource to find the best places to invest in counties that I’m not familiar with. And I use the resource that I pay for to filter the list, look at the tax sale properties, and get all the information I need to make a decision of whether to bid or not.

Information like:

• Assessed value of the property
• Market value of the property
• Any environmental issues
• Flood risk
• Mortgage data

Plus I get to see the parcel on a google map with an outline of the property. And sometimes I even get a street view. If you’re buying property at a tax deed sale, this is just the beginning of proper due diligence. In that case, I recommend you physically look at the property. Or have someone look at it for you. But this is pretty good due diligence for tax lien sales.

Want to know about the tax lien investing tools and resources that I use the most? If you’ve been following me, you know that there are smart and not so smart ways to invest in tax liens and tax deeds. I’m all about the smart and easy ways to invest.

Tax lien and tax deed investing has gotten a lot easier since I started investing in tax liens in 2002 and tax deeds in 2005. There are online tools and resources that either didn’t exist when I got started or I just wasn’t aware of then. Some of these resources are free online tools that I use all the time to find upcoming tax sales and research tax sale properties. They make tax lien and tax deed investing a lot easier than it used to be. Most of them are free. Although I do use a paid version for the one resource that I use the most.

In this article, I’ll list the top three tools and resources that I use to make tax lien investing easier, and explain how I use them.

My Favorite Tax Lien Investing Tools:

Tax Sale Finders – This is the tax lien investing tool that I use the most. I use a paid version and I provide the paid version to members of the Tax Lien Profits Accelerator™ and my coaching clients. The first thing that I use this resource for is to find out what tax sales are coming up across the country. I can filter the upcoming tax sales to find just the type of tax sales I’m looking for all across the country or in the state of my choice.

Once I find the tax sale that I’m looking for, I can filter the list of properties in the tax sale. I can filter the list down to a manageable number of properties to research. And I don’t have to waist my time researching properties in areas that I don’t want to invest in, or types of properties I’m not interested in.

Then I can get reports on the properties that I want to research further. The reports include a map showing the parcel boundaries and assessment data, market value of the property (according to the county), mortgage data, any environmental concerns and flood risk. I’ve only described part of what is provided by Tax Sale Resources, but these are the features that I use the most.

If you would like to get access to Tax Sale Finders and learn how use TSF along with the other resources listed in this article to find out what tax sales are coming up around the country, filter the tax sale lists and choose the right properties to bid on, check out the new Tax Sale Success Workshop at www.TaxSaleSuccess.com.

Niche.com – I like to use this free resource to find the best places to invest when I’m going to a tax sale in a state or county where I don’t know the area. I use it to find the best counties in a given state. And to find the best cities or towns to invest in inside any given county. While many of the resources that show real estate values that used to show crime ratings no longer do this, Niche.com does. So I also use Niche.com to check crime ratings in areas that I’m considering investing in.

Zillow.com – Tax Sale Resources gives the market value of tax sale properties according to the county, but that does not always keep up with the market. So I use Zillow to find a better estimate of what the market value really is. Zillow doesn’t always keep up with the market either. In a lagging market, it is usually a little higher than what the property would sell for. And in a rising market it’s a little lower. But it is still more up to date than the county records.
