16% Solution March 29, 2007
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
Very quick read. Well written, and for those with no experience - or even those with experience - with real estate investing, this book is one to have on hand. Though written during a different economic swing than now (2007), the info is still quite relevant. Provides loads of information for even the most novice investor to analyze risk. I've recommended the book several times.--Hope the author update the info soon.

This book is specific to US. It woudl be difficult to work the system from outside US.
I phoned a number of local councils and found that they all had one auction per year. In these days of low interest rates, there was no debt left over.
For Californians who are happy to be in a sinking dollar, a better alternative is to lend to individuals against their property. There are many brokers will get you 14% secured against the whole property, and you are not tied to one auction a year.
Nevertheless, it is an excellent and well-written book. The seciton giving details of who to phone was correct when I used it. I learned a lot.

This book was a giant disappointment. Very outdated - virtually no information on how to do this kind of investing electronically. A waste of $.

An official Library Weekly book review.
EXCERPT:
If you are like most people, you are struggling, without much success, to get the yield back
into your savings. The places to which you are turning are not producing much relief.
RATING:
2 of 5
REVIEW:
The 16% Solution is supposed to be a guide on how to invest in tax liens; however, as you
turn the pages, you find that it seems to cut back and forth with fictional characters and
then law-based jargon. There is an attempt by the author to deliver a point, which is
commendable, but there are many parts of the book that needs editing. While this is an
acceptable guide to investing in tax lien certificates, it would not be a first pick.
OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. The Beginner's Guide to Real Estate Tax Lien and Tax Deed Auctions [ISBN 0978834607 at other online bookstores]
2. Profit by Investing in Real Estate Tax Liens [ISBN 0793195179]

This is one of the books that I keep in my library, probably because when I bought it five years ago, it was the only book available about tax liens. Even though it's a newer addition then when it was first written, it's still dated and now there are other books available that are more complete. It's a good book for basic information about tax liens in the most popular tax lien states. Don't buy it if your interested in tax deeds, it has no information about tax deed states. Because state laws constantly change some of the information is no longer relevant.
