skitealwedrop Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I received a call from my Step Dad this morning. He's interested in investing capital in the purchase of tax lien certificates. He wants me to do the research and basically run the business. I spent a bit of time researching the topic. I have a ton of homework to do as I'm not a real estate guru. Are there any DV members that are familiar with the investment? Any knowledge that you wish to share would be appreciated. Thanks, Ski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not on here looking for an investor I just happened across your post. I hold dinar and I am here for that reason only. I just so happened to read on an investors site earlier today that you can find investors in unlikely places. Well here is a very short pitch, just because. I am looking for an investor "Sliding Mirror System" - Patent Pending Finally ...

Thanks, Ski I studied them about 10 yrs ago bit didn't have the time to put in, to do it right. The laws very by state but here is the jest of it. You pay someones taxes for them. They have a designated period of time to pay you back plus interest. Usually the interest rate is pretty fair about 10%. If they don't pay you, then the property is yours. You also need to have someone see what other liens etc are on the property because you get those as well. So you need to make sure you would want the property or could flip it and worse case scenario you receive a decent return on your money. Hope that helps, but make sure you do your homework on your states laws. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skitealwedrop Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I'm simply seeking knowledge from those that have a grasp of the RE market and are willing to shed some light on the topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheerful1 Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 My wife and I just purchased a program from Saen Higgins, called Wealth Without Risk. We received some dvd's, a 432 page book, another much smaller book on how to create a million-dollar retirement fund, some telephone info freebies, including rush postage, for $29.45 (19.95 + 9.50 shipping) Just opened it today. We saw it on an informercial and decided to take a shot at it based on the low entry cost. We will let you know how it goes. Not gonna be too soon, however as she is not able to work on it (liver/kidney transplant list patient) and I am working as much overtime as they will let me to keep up with medical costs/copays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a big fan of the concept today. I will continue to study the investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
