Real Estate Investing | Real Estate Investing Training: My Quest For The Best Part 1
This past year I have been on a quest to find the best real estate investing training at the lowest price available. I’ve been successful in tax lien investing, but now I want to use my profits from tax lien investing and put my money into real estate deals. Real estate investing is something that I have wanted to do for a long time. I just found it easier to invest in tax liens.
I believe that 2009 is the opportune time, both to get involved with tax lien or tax deed investing, if you’ve been sitting on the fence and to purchase investment real estate. The problem that I have found in learning how to invest in real estate without getting burnt is, that there are tons of programs out there. How do you know which one is right for you? And most of the trainings, boot camps, and home study courses cost an arm and a leg. Instead of putting $10,000 down on your first property, it’s not uncommon to spend that on training – I know I did. And where did it get me? We’ll it didn’t make me a millionaire. It didn’t even get me my first deal.
My husband and I got our first deal at an auction. And then we were shocked to find out that we needed to put 20% down in order to get the financing for this deal. We only had 30 days till closing and the contract was not contingent on getting the financing. Fortunately we had financing lined up and had just enough money to put down 20% instead of the 10% that we were expecting to need. Now we knew that if we were going to do any more real estate deals we would have to use other methods to find and buy properties: Methods that required little or no money down.
The good news is that now I have found a couple of real estate experts that I can honestly say offer an excellent value for the price of their training. I will be working with these 2 women this year to maximize my efforts in real estate investing. That’s right, these 2 experts that I have found are women, in a field that is dominated by men. And these 2 women are more successful at real estate investing than most of the men out there.
One of them has been in the business for over 20 years ” since she was 21, she is an extremely successful real estate investor. She even became a real estate broker and runs 3 successful real estate offices. And she travels the country giving very successful real estate trainings and boot camps. The other expert started her real estate investing business less than 10 years ago, and she has built one of the most successful internet marketing businesses as well as several successful real estate training programs and a very successful real estate business.
Join me on my Tax Lien Lady Recommends blog at www.TaxLienLadyRecommends.com in 2009 as I review the coaching and training programs from these 2 incredible ladies and keep you updated on my progress. Stay tuned for the next article in this series to find out who these ladies are and how you can have access to them.

Can't wait to learn more about your course. We have a self directed IRA week coming up in March. Good information about Tax Lien Investing. Folks could consider utilizing their IRA as a funding source. Lots of capital in IRAs and 401ks that can be used for real estate, tax liens and other investments if people knew about it.
Also good information and resources available to learn.

A; there is no such thing as a ghost lien–he might be saying that you
will sign a promissory note instead of
a mortgage note. And he likely will not file it. It is legal to do so but
very stuip cause you would not be
protected in a payoff.
b; I think he also was taking about
[combo] a blanket mortgage covering
2 or more parcels.
I suggest getting in writing what
he suggested to you and
then, finding another mortgage
broker.
And do not have your dad help you
re-fi your home–it will lead to
sour feelings inevitably.
Hope that helps

Banks Hedging their bets? I ran into this article in the claiming that banks and hedge funds were buying tax liens in bulk. Could it be possible that these banks will now have a different way to foreclose on property that has nothing to do with the loan origination? Therefore, properties that were have fraud attached to them and may in the future not be subject to foreclosure could be foreclosed on through the tax lien. I mean if one can't pay their mortgage, in many cases they won't be able to pay their taxes right?
