In this episode of the REsimpli podcast, host Sharad Mehta speaks with Ted Thomas, a seasoned investor and educator specializing in tax lien and tax deed investments. Ted shares insights from over 30 years in the industry, where he has guided thousands to financial independence through strategic property investments across the U.S. Originally a pilot, Ted transitioned into real estate and discovered the lucrative potential of tax-defaulted properties, often available at 10-20 cents on the dollar with no mortgage.

Ted explains the differences between tax liens and tax deeds, highlighting how investors can earn up to 24% returns on tax lien certificates in states like Iowa and Florida or acquire properties at major discounts through tax deed auctions. With a focus on key markets and risk management, Ted emphasizes his “boots on the ground” approach to ensure property value. He also discusses the appeal of passive income for investors and the growing accessibility of tax liens through online auctions.

Looking forward, Ted’s goal is to continue educating new investors with his comprehensive courses and live workshops, where he reveals strategies for maximizing returns while minimizing risk. Whether you’re interested in generating passive income or building a real estate portfolio, Ted’s expertise offers invaluable insights.
