First of all sure, maybe you did it and had good time, buttt from what I've read all over the internet its basically crap. Sure the info and videos were good. However they don't tell you the full story.

I was told, like everyone else, that the properties were "screened" ok... sure, long story short my lady who works at Tax Lien Buyers club, pressured me into buying them, saying oh, "these are the last ones, so I need you to hurry and sign them." So I called her and said well I can't even find the addresses. I had to do my own digging and found out after I bought the liens they were actually two lots that are assessed at $2800. Btw I Paid $750 on two of these. Great....(I know it was dumb to just trust, but I guess since thats what the company does is say OH HEY TRUST ME but ultimately its on you...).

I was told that i would receive the liens by the county in the mail in a matter of 2-4 weeks... NOPE! 

Thats when things started feeling scam-ish... 

So, I lost contact over  span of 6 months. I would email but no reply. I literally had to find her on FB and message her, which it was a very fast response. My first message being "HI _____!" (didn't want to give her the tip off of, "oh hey btw how are my liens going?")

I felt a sense of, "oh we sold him these two lots... thats his problem now. Mission accomplished." So three days ago

Anyways I asked her the status of my liens and told her idk what happened we just lost contact. She told me to schedule an appointment with her assistant... cool did. I had to wait 3 days to schedule a phone call with her assistant in which 30 mins prior her assistant emailed me and said, "oh can't make it sorry heres a number to call to get your liens" (the county office)

So I call, ... voicemail... ok no ones fault. It's just upsetting that I waited 3 days for a phone call and got a phone number that went to voicemail. So I message my original lady back and tell her basically I got blown off(respectfully). She says she's sorry and contacts the assistant and boom phone call within a couple of hours. 

She explains to me that Basically ill have to call the country and PURCHASE the liens for anywhere from $60-1000. If i don't Ill lose my "investment" put in... So basically, I'm in this deal for $750 each, and if i want to recoup my money ill have to buy the papers each from the county. Making each one come to $810-1750. for a lot assessed at $2800... Buttt then Ill get stuck with the property most likely. Possibly paying taxes on 2 lots for a long while...

This is just MY STORY, IF IT WORKED FOR YOU AWESOME.

Im mostly upset AT MYSELF for getting pushed around in this the way I did.

ANY ADVICE? Comments? Questions?

Again, I'm open to many options not just town homes/condos. Ideally I would like to buy a house in the Southwest, have it cashflow, and THEN! be able to buy a condo/town home. Open to areas to where I "feel" will gain equity. I think we all have in mind what areas those are...

Great area I live right by there. I'll let you know if I find anything. 

 Nice! thank you!, I actually saw one of your signs up around town a couple weeks ago!

I'm looking for agents who are listing as I'm waiting on my Real Estate license to come in. I intend on buying it myself, as an agent. After I will be immediately renting it! Soo sorry buyers agents! Just got approved for $300k, open to many things. 

I'm leaning towards going towards the cheaper side, and ideally want something thats going to build equity well based off location. Also, of course cashflows.

I'm leaning towards a 2-3 bedroom town home in the area just north about the South Point Casino, mainly for the free way access to get to and from the southwest and the strip easily.

Send me what you guys have! I look forward to viewing them!

Honestly, I don't even think the millennials new about the crash, unless their parents were in it, ...

I was in high school from 2007-2011, and honestly didn't even know a crash happened,... then again, my parents weren't in the housing market or stock market.  I also wasn't looking for it at the time. I think it comes down to, how many people in their 20's are looking to buy a house? 

Another thing, now with social media its almost cool to "ball out" as I'm sure it was always but you get the point! 

Well said, Phillip Dwyer , those guru seminars are mind blowing, what's even worse is the people who eat it up. I guess the excitement of becoming rich and it's easy and everyone can do it just stops people from thinking reasonably.

I just wanted to share my frustration with people who try to pitch ideas, or sell you some crap using techniques described in books, it is such a turn off and cause me to just stop listening the first second I hear crap flowing out someone's mouth,. one thing that drew me to real estate was of course rich dad poor dad. However, I did not ever see how people could hop onto sales marketing and be a sleazy salesman drawing others into a something trying to use lingo that just sounds unusual and doing things to build a "data base," stuff like that pretty sure if you're just real with someone you'll go a lot farther than trying to use persuasion techniques on someone that knows about your persuasion techniques,.... huh makes me sick, Don't get me started on amway people, those are the worst and most pushy people I've ever met, and so far, I'm noticing more and more of those personality types in real estate, they aren't there to help you they are there to fuel your hopes, and there to ramble on for hours to push their objective into you, huge turnoff! Just like all those terrible seminars that pitch you stuff to buy and you see the people they prey upon, those seminars are only good to meet others If you're a cheesy salesman/ "Fentor"(fake mentor) don't string people along and waste their time pushing your objective on them I just hope real estate doesn't get as bad as amway I'm working on becoming a real estate agent and already hating people in sales cause of how fake they are, but guess I'll make that my niche to keep it 💯
