Counties all over the country need to sell properties or liens on property in order to collect their tax dollars. Deceased owners can’t pay, heirs often don’t want to pay and sometimes people lose jobs or for whatever reason get behind on their payments and are just unable to pay their property taxes.
These lists of taxes owed are published by the county as a matter of public record. These “Tax Sale Lists” contain GOLD because the county Treasurer is telling you outright who has a distressed seller situation on a property by publishing a list of owners behind on taxes.

Corey Taylor
is an active Real Estate Entrepreneur with a specialized focus on investing in tax sale properties. He's also an investment trainer with a highly successful Investing Course called Elite Tax Sale Training.
After graduating from the US Naval Academy in 1997, Corey accepted a US Marine Corps commission as 2nd Lieutenant. Corey began real estate investing around 2001 between deployments. He bought every real estate course under the sun and took action. Having built an investment company part-time, he got out of the Marine Corps in late 2004 and became a full time investor. Within a few years he had over 200 transactions worth of experience in rehabs, wholesales, short sales, lease options, owner financing, note selling, self directed IRAs, and managing millions in private money.
Corey admits his first taste of failure during the Real Estate downturn. He got back up by problem-solving in a down market and discovered how Tax Sales provide both discounted property as well as huge interest returns on capital and that’s where he has focused his efforts ever since.
In addition to working his Tax Sale Investment Strategies full time and speaking around the country, Corey also voluntarily leads hundreds of people through Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University every year and advocates true financial wisdom. Corey and his beautiful wife Andrea have 2 young children.
