Hi @JL Hut, 

I live on the east side of Michigan and new to the forum.

Don't have much experience but learning.

Just wanted to welcome you to the forum!

Hi @Geof Greeneisen, Thanks for the welcome!

I agree, the auction I attended seemed very competitive, even to the point of over bidding. It was interesting that's for sure.

I'm in the Metro Detroit area. The redemption period is up in a couple months but it was my Dad's property so I'll be keeping it probably. That was also an interesting experience.

My girlfriend and I just went to the Success Path Seminar in Southfield Michigan 9/5/15.

It was interesting to say the least and it's real easy to get pulled in if you're not careful. 

We didn't join the few that went back to the table, and we didn't join the tax lien buyers club or whatever it's called, although that one peaked my interest the most I think. We did stand in the group they pulled aside that had a pension fund. They were real interested about that.....lol

I really don't know if they are legit or not. I do know they want a lot of your money and that in itself is enough for me to step back.

I have to admit, I am still very interested in Tax Lien Certificates and Tax Deeds and even the part about using your retirement for TLC's but I'm not interested in paying thousands of dollars and no results.

If anyone who has attended any of these seminars/classes and it actually has worked for you, I'm really happy for you and wish you the best.

Hi there, 

I'm a new investor from Southeast Michigan. I bought my first rental property a few months ago from a sheriff's sale. I attended my first County Treasury Auction last week but was not a winning bidder. I'm interested in other rental properties and would also like to learn how to purchase TLC's and tax deeds.

If there's any investors in my area that would like to help, please let me know.

Thanks for the opportunity to join the forum.
