Arizona Tax Lien Services

This book is a very clear and detail-filled guide to tax deed investing. While one typically needs more money to get started with tax deed investing than tax lien investing, the rewards can be both bigger and quicker — if you have the cash and the stomach to concentrate your risk in a smaller number of properties. Those of you who are thinking about tax deed investing will find practical and actionable advice in this book.

The notion of tax lien investing might rub some people the wrong way, as if the process benefits some people at the expense of others. The first line of defense against any criticisms is that the government has already made the rules and created the liens, and tax lien investors make it possible for the municipalities to collect funds earlier for schools, hospitals and the like while getting out of the risk and expense of difficult collections. More important, in our opinion, is how investors carry out their plans. As in any business, we believe that if you treat other people with fairness and respect, and with integrity, you will prosper. The Diamond Cutter is an inspiring story and an enjoyable read that emphasizes the benefits of an enlightened approach to business. To date, the absolute best deals that we have done in our own portfolio involved working with people, rather than against them. Our greatest success of all was where we worked diligently to keep a homeowner in their home after foreclosure as a tenant with the right to buy the home back when they get back on their feet financially. Everyone came out a winner (except the mortgage lender).
