With so many agents concerned about the inventory shortage in the US, we need to start looking at potential side hustles, and buying tax liens could be the silver lining we need. 

What is a tax lien, and how do we find them, let alone buy them up? What are the unique challenges posed by this area of real estate, and if there are none, why are so few agents jumping at the opportunity?

In this episode, the Founder of Tax Lien Alliance, Todd Ashton returns to go deep on the most mysterious opportunity real estate has to offer.

• When to get into tax liens
  
  Is there a ‘right’ time to start buying tax liens? What are the ideal conditions for this aspect of real estate? 

• Why tax liens are real estate’s best-kept secret
  
  If tax liens are such a great way to make money, why do so few people know about them? Is there a catch?

• How to get involved in tax liens as a licensed agent
  
  Are there any barriers or restrictions agents need to be aware of before diving into tax liens?

We all think we have big dreams, but more often than not, we’re thinking a lot smaller than we realize. 

How can we get into the habit of thinking bigger, and how big is big enough? Can we really achieve anything we set our minds to, or should we be setting more realistic goals for ourselves? 

In this episode, mindset strategist, coach and host of The Thinking Big Podcast, Sean Osborn shares how to quit limiting ourselves and create the lives of our dreams. 

Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode 

• Why our thoughts matter more than we realize
  
  Our thoughts ultimately become things, so why waste time and energy and put our dreams on the line by thinking small?
