Tax Lien Presentation

Our guest speaker will be Ms. Joanne Musa who has over ten years of experience teaching others how to invest in tax liens. She is also a former weightlifting champion and coach. She has spoken about tax liens at various conferences, been featured on popular websites, and was interviewed by Forbes magazine.

Ms. Musa will provide a brief overview of what tax liens are including the difference between tax lien certificates and tax deeds. She'll also explain the auction process which sometimes occurs in person and other times online.

But the focus of her time will be dedicated towards discussing how tax liens can help investors obtain properties at steep discounts. It doesn't always happen, but for those who know what they're doing this can be a great way to position yourself to obtain some very inexpensive properties.

She'll also touch upon how to do due diligence if you can't get inside of a house and the perception by many that tax lien investing is a thing of the past.

Networking

At 6:45 we'll go around the room and introduce ourselves. This is a chance to get to know some of the people in the room and can help you to identify who you might want to seek out and speak with later on during the open networking portion of the evening.
