Three days on Zoom with Ted Thomas and his coaches. See how prepared investors pick properties from the county list, set a bid that protects their profit, and plan the exit before auction day. Real deals, real numbers, and the mistakes that cost people money.
GET YOUR $249 TICKET NOWAt our last 3-Day Workshop, senior coach Bill Williams put two of my students side by side.
Both started in the same class. Both went to the same county auction in Washington. Both spent about $30,000. Both bought a property with a problem that other bidders walked away from.
Anna did it on her own. She bought for $27,500, sold for $58,500, and doubled her money. That's a good first deal by anyone's standard.
Shannon worked the same auction with a coach reviewing her research before she bid. She knew what the property was really worth, sold a little slower, negotiated harder, and walked away with about $100,000.
Same opportunity. Roughly $70,000 difference. The only variable was preparation, and having someone experienced look at the numbers before the gavel came down.
Bought $27,500, sold $58,500. Researched alone, sold fast, took the first reasonable offer.
Same auction, similar bid. Had her research checked by a coach, knew the true value, and negotiated the sale.
That's what this workshop is about. Not the fundamentals you can get from my YouTube channel. The preparation that separates a decent deal from a great one: what to check on the list, how to set a maximum bid you won't blow past, and how to plan two exits before you own the property.
I've taught this for over 30 years. The people who make money in this business aren't the smartest in the room. They're the most prepared.
This isn't a slideshow about how tax sales work. It's coaches and students walking through the deals they did, including the ones that went sideways, and the tools we now use to prepare faster.
Session lineup is based on the most recent 3-Day Workshop. Speakers and order may change.
Every one of them spoke at the last 3-Day Workshop. Most do this part-time, 5 to 10 hours a week.
Sonny and Marcia are in their 70s and work Michigan auctions from their rural home. On one deal they sold the house in 24 hours. Marcia had a purchase agreement in her purse before the buyer showed up. On another, they put $7,990 into a property, sold it on a land contract, and collected $15,995 in interest on money they never touched.
Paul Castillo buys remotely from Utah and has built a passive income portfolio that nets $15,000 to $20,000 a month. He also told the "ugly side" story: the year he spent stubbornly going it alone before he asked for help.
Bob Schumacher has completed more than 200 deals. My point to the room: if each one only made $5,000, that's still a million dollars. Nobody gets there by being a genius. They get there by doing the homework every single time.
Results shown are from individual students and may exceed typical outcomes. All investing carries risk. Before investing, seek professional advice.
I'm not a tech person. I've never done my own research on a computer. I've always had a research assistant bring me the list, and then I verify it. Chris, my COO, spent the last two years building tools so you can work the same way.
One rule we repeat at every workshop: you lead the tool, the tool doesn't lead you. AI speeds up the homework. It doesn't replace calling the county or looking at the property.
These stay with you after the workshop ends, so you can keep preparing for the auctions on your calendar.
Three full days on Zoom with me, the coaches, and students who are doing deals right now.
A seat in the new Ted Thomas tax lien and tax deed community.
How to research a property with free or paid AI tools, and how to check what it tells you.
State-by-state rules, rates, and redemption periods, answered in Virtual Ted's voice.
Plus Jeff Austin's class on finding and using county auction websites.
Extra time added to your Magic Map access.
Three days of case studies, coaching, and tools. You'll leave knowing how to read a county list, what to rule out and why, how to set a maximum bid with every cost included, and how to plan the sale before you buy.
Workshop, full bonus package, and open ticket
Paul Castillo told the room what his year of going it alone cost him: six to nine months of heartache and a slower start. Jeff Austin said the same about waiting a year to get help. Both made money in the end. Both wish they'd started prepared.
Enrollment closes when the workshop starts. The auctions don't wait for you to feel ready.
I wrote the original book on tax lien certificates and tax deeds. Most people teaching this today learned it from me, or from someone who did. Every coach at this workshop has done their own deals and still does.
