Course Description

In this course, you will learn the fundamentals of doing the research to invest in tax lien certificates anywhere in the country. PLUS, the skillsets learned here could easily be the base for learning how to research most real estate investing transactions prior to purchase.

This course includes actual bids I won in the Yavapai County tax lien certificate auction.

I share the real estate property tax lien selection criteria I used to win those bids.

This course talks about the overall research process so that you can decide to participate in any tax lien certificate sales auction anywhere in the country.

Most of the counties in the U.S. conduct their auctions online. Each county either holds those sales online through their site, or some other third party auction portal website.

The two most popular tax lien auction portals are:

  • LienHub whose parent is GrantStreetGroup, and

  • RealAuction (Real Tax Lien) who handles auctions for various counties within the country

Both sites also offer other services that compliment the real estate, tax lien and tax deed investing process.

My investing strategy was that of a very risk averse, first time, tax lien investor and so my investing strategy was drilled down to the very lowest common denominator which was to investing in tax liens that have a very high likelihood of redeeming and redeeming quickly.

My overall goal was to find an investment vehicle that would provide me returns greater than the bank without having to invest a lot of time, money and management.

Many states returns are in the high teens like Arizona at 16%, Florida at 18% and Colorado at a whopping 36%, but when you are bidding you bid for something lower than that, but much higher than banks. And when you learn just the fundamentals of how to get started in the tax lien auction world of real estate investing, it opens up a lot of opportunity for education, growth and returns.

Part of that growth is also the ability to invest in Over The Counter (OTC) or County Held Certificates as well as the very popular tax deed investing and this course brings that information to you too.

DISCLAIMER

This investing course is for informational purposes and while it serves as a great starting point for learning and getting started investing in tax liens -- as a smart investor it is always best for you to consult your CPA and attorney when making investments.

With that said, this course is presented in such a way that it is easy for you to consume, take notes and expand your research, as all major points related to this topic are the focus of this course allowing you to understand a big topic in bite-sized chunks.

I don't want to criticize the course or anything; the instructor seems very good, but the course is too basic

By Cynthia L Mills on 11/29/2025

The class so far is very good at describing tax lien certificates. For me, I believe this is a good overview of lien certificates. I have done some research, but need to read and understand more. I have been in the real estate market on and off for years, but as always, a person must be careful when it comes to investing. No one I know, wants to lose money.

By Rhonda McMorris on 10/20/2025

This class was indeed a great match for me as I've been wanting to learn how to invest in tax properties but never took the time so this first section answered many of my questions.

By Deborah J Pollini on 10/4/2025

These lessons are new information which takes time to sink in to a brain. It's annoying to have to rewind. So, I especially appreciated that this instructor spoke articulately and not too fast.

By Michael on 3/2/2025

As a real estate investor this was a great introduction to tax lien investing.

By Letitia Davis on 2/11/2025

Pretty good course with details - no fluff - only thing is that there were references to other classes but those classes didnt seem to be included in this course and they weren't referenced. So not sure if there is another course but other than that it was really good compared to some other high level tax lien courses.

By Timothy L Fetterson on 1/3/2025

This is my first time taking a course like this and this is all very new to me so I am learning and I do enjoy learning something brand new as well.

By Dawn Johnson beaver on 11/29/2024

The Instructor was Knowledgeable. She explained the process of buying tax Liens in a way that can be understood for anyone that is new. I recommend her course.

By Joe hermanson on 6/5/2024

This is one of the better Tax Lien classes on Udemy. It is clear, concise, and goes into the detail that you need. The others don't really focus on the investing details. They just go over how to work the websites.

By andrea Henderson on 11/22/2023

This was a great intro to tax lien investing. It was a way for me to understand the landscape quickly. The instructor is clear and easy to follow.
