Tax Sale Playbook: A Book Review

[Brian Cole]

I've found myself over the last few months obsessed with the world of purchasing homes at tax foreclosure auctions. I've spent my quarantine days researching my county and their process, looking at properties, and even planned on attending an auction before the coronavirus caused my county to postpone everything. 

I felt the need to educate myself as much as possible before bidding so I started with the BP forums, blogs, and podcasts. While searching through the podcast app I discovered the "Tax sale podcast" Hosted by Casey Denman.

lots of great info, all free, a pretty reasonable amount of advertisement for his own pay for academy program. Eventually, after listening to the podcast library I decided to order his book. $4.97 was the total cost to my door.

After finishing the book earlier today I would recommend it to anyone who is considering obtaining properties through tax foreclosure. It is organized well and provides a process for researching along with helpful tips, examples, and ideas. I would say it is appropriately titled as a "Playbook" with the first chapter being an about the author. it is 184 pages long and only 2 pages are spent advertising his other material. I do have to say the website has a very guru feel about it and I recommend using a junk email address when you order the book. 

If anyone has any other resources dedicated to investing in tax defaulted real estate please share!
