Hello Tracy:

I was in their seminar, whether there are benefits are straightly depends on how you can apply their teaching to your application.

I spent four(4) months doing my research on my own before I decide to attend their seminar. It is costly, but it connects a lot of info that I gathered before.

I am out of town(country) foreign investor & works full time, the seminar shortens my learning path. It saved me TIME to gather all info, which are all FREE info from different government agency & other web based services(some have fees).

Each different states & counties has a little different ways of conducting their tax sales. I will recommend you to start with your backyard first. Learn all the state statue regarding tax sale, call up the county for their next sale, get the list & go & check out couple sale. Check out the competition. Doing your research on the list & drive by to check out the properties if it is deed sale(MAKE SURE).

Also try to understand the different bidding process, Bid up, Bid down. premium, Owner %. This will really help you to make your pricing decision.

Also watch out the redemption period. They do have a expiration on the lien.

So if you are like me( paid to save time), it is a good seminar but costly.

Otherwise you can save the seminar cost & buy some liens or deeds.

I hope this will give you some insights.
