There are many different roadways to success in this business. The purpose of this newsletter is to explore just a few of them. There are many more techniques, ideas, and formulas that work.

1. Attending tax forfeited land auctions and acquiring deeds to real property for pennies on the dollar. Kansas still has many tax forfeited land auctions where there is no minimum bid. There are 102 counties in this state and you can find a tax sale somewhere in this state about at least once and sometimes several in one week. There are similar situations in many other states.

 
2. Investing in government issued tax lien certificates. You potential yield can be enormous. If you are interested in a very high yield with the a high possibility that your tax lien certificate will be redeem, I suggest that you invest in tax lien certificates on occupied single family residences. These properties can be easily identified by a simple inspection of the tax assessment rolls. Many of these are tax rolls are now accessible over the internet. Just go to http://www.taxresearch.com/counties.htm Iowa, having their sales this month pay 2% per month interest. Illinois provides a penalty of 18% per six month period on certificates on non-farm land. Georgia provides a penalty of 20% on tax lien certificates even if redeemed during the next day of the tax lien certificate sale. Florida pays 18%, Arizona 16%, and even Colorado is 9% over and above the prime interest rate.

 
3. Acquiring "struck-off" properties, county held properties, School district "trust" properties, and state held properties by simply mailing in your bid on these properties. This technique is available in practically every state and can generate tremendous profits. Each of our state manuals contain the pertinent states relating to these types of properties and where and how to acquire them. I have acquired hundreds of lots of as little as $5.00 each simply by mailing in offers by mail. I have also paid more and acquired some very valuable properties. You can spend as little or as much as you want. A huge variety of properties are available.

 
4. Obtaining lists of delinquent property owners and buying direct from those who cannot or have not intention of redeeming is a highly profitable technique. Just look at the many success stories at http://www.taxresearch.com/stories.htm You will quickly see how many of our customers are making their fortunes just using this one technique which is thoroughly explained in each of out state manuals. It has worked well in every state that it has been utilized. Each of our state manuals explains this technique and provides you will time tested and proven form letters and enclosures to utilize this method.

 
5. If you have little or no money. Try being a FINDER. Just locate one or two investors that will give you a substantial fee for finding bargain properties.

 
6. Buying assignments of tax lien certificates from the county or municipality just a month or two prior to the expiration of the time allow for redemption or even after the time for redemption has expired. Then you foreclose immediately and apply for a deed to the property.

 
7. Buy assignments of tax lien certificates from instructional investors who invest millions of dollars in this type of investment. They are basically interested in receiving interest and not the property. Buy just before or after the redemption period has expired. This is basically the same as No. 6, but you can problem acquire a slightly better grade of property.

 
8. If you have limited resources try inspecting and locating the tax forfeited land properties for others who are willing to invest and give you a reasonable fee for your research. We have one customer in Oklahoma who hates to do research but has others do it for him for a percentage of the profits.
