The information is worth the money, but you'll need more. February 6, 2000
63 out of 64 found this review helpful
The book was enjoyable reading, and it has some very valuable information. I have read most chapters several times. For the most part, it confirmed facts contained in literature available from the states offering tax lien certificates (and so it should). More valuable to me was the section on the affects of bankruptcy on tax liens. But I think the book lacks some practical information needed to carry this act of investing through. I recommend this book for anyone, especially the novice.

to begin with, if you are a small time investor (like myself) you need to live in a state that sells tax lein certificates. this way you can get to the auctions where all the "good" properties are snatched up.i went to AZ recently to purchase a few "leftover" tax leins after reading this book. it was not that easy to find/research a suitable tax lein to buy. my estimate is that it would take an average person a week in a particular county researching and driving out to look at properties. in conclusion, the 16% solution is fine if you live in one of the FEW states that actually offer them at a 16% rate of return.
Nice, safe returns--good book. July 9, 1999

I thought that this was an excellent book and an effective way to tap into the world of tax liens. Better than paying $200-$300 or more for book tape programs. Tax liens are a excellent strategy for those who want big rates of return but also want something safer than the stock market. I also suggest More Wealth without Risk by Charles Givens.
 Book incomplete; excludes tax collectors' addresses. January 10, 1999
60 out of 97 found this review helpful
Recently purchased book; found it lacking the addresses of states' county tax collectors which is the real information needed to start the process. Also missing is information on several states: i.e. Alaska and Texas, the two states of interest to me. Book gives telephone numbers of county tax collectors; however, to call could mean a fortune in telehone calls to just obtain addresses and information. Suppose caller is put on hold or encounters one of those automatic phone systems that have a myriad of directions and options? I am returning book for refund, as it does not meet my needs.
The "How to" book of investing in tax lien certificates. August 31, 1998
90 out of 91 found this review helpful
Words like "tax lien certificate" and "tax fortified property" are enough to confuse even the wisest of investor. However, this book has accomplished well the task of educating beginners in the tax lien investment market.The author takes the reader step-by-step through the entire process outlining the major points of tax lien investment in simple laymans terms. Although this book can be a bevy of information to the beginner, the seasoned tax lien investor will find no new formulas or techniques that are not explained at state-run tax lien seminars held before the actual auction. The author seems to almost be hiding crucial information concerning some of the key elements involved in this potentially rich investment. Though vague at times, any would be tax lien investor would be hard pressed to find a better manual.
