In two years of researching and traveling, Ted has visited thirty states and hundreds of counties.  He has interviewed dozens of government – officials, county treasurers and real estate investors.  From that effort has emerged the most comprehensive program for low risk and high yield returns available in the U.S.A.  These discoveries are almost hidden government programs that yield up to 25% interest.  Surprisingly, these government-sponsored programs have been almost secret for decades.

Bob Schumacher

Bob Schumacher and Ted Thomas met way out in the “wild west” many years ago.  Bob wanted to change his future, financially so that he could be able to explore beautiful nature all around the world.  Ted Thomas gave Bob the opportunity to become successful…and Bob turned his dreams into a reality!!

Ted Thomas’ education combined with Bob’s skill set, really put him 2 stepsahead of any competition.  Bob Schumacher began investing in Georgia tax deeds in 1999.

He liked Georgia because in most cases the investor either makes a 20% return on investment, or gets the property.  At last count, he had purchased nearly 200 Georgia tax deeds.

Ted Thomas compares Bob’s investing style to that of a baseball player who gets lots of singles and doubles.  Many of his tax deeds were relatively inexpensive, and produced consistent modest yields.  Scattered in with those singles and doubles are a few home runs, properties that have made five-figure profits.

One property that he bought in 2015 for $5,000 made a profit of more than $26,000.  Gains like that might not make you quit your day job, but they’ll certainly help you sleep better at night.  With a degree in forestry and many years of field experience, Bob is an expert at locating and analyzing vacant land.  He bids on houses when the opportunity arises, but most of his research focuses on land.

At many tax sales, there are more bidders looking for houses than land; as a result, some of the best bargains are in land.  Bob has taught his techniques to many Ted Thomas students, through seminar presentations, coaching, and even at Buying Tours.  Investors, who learn from Bob, have a competitive advantage over the average investor looking at buying land.

Bill Williams

Bill Williams quickly realized the hidden opportunity that Ted Thomas was providing to his students and he jumped at his chance to be successful in this almost secret business.

Bill owns a media production company, In 1998 Ted Thomas came to meet Bill to edit some video.  In 1999 Ted personally coached Bill and took him to a tax lien certificate auction which gave Bill the confidence to bid at that auction, and the next day he was the winning bidder on a 16% tax lien certificate. Bill then bought his first tax deed in 2000.

Having learned from Ted, his visiting professors, hundreds of hours of video recordings, and researching and bidding at auctions, Bill now works with Ted to instruct and coach others about the lucrative business of investing in tax defaulted real estate.

When Bill began coaching several years ago Shannon from Alberta Canada was one of his first coaching students.  At Shannon’s first auction in King County Washington she bought a property for about $34,000 and sold it for $135,000.

Samantha, also from Alberta had Bill as a coach, purchased a property in Washington for about $9,000 and sold it for $27,000.

Both new investors accelerated their success due to the guidance and encouragement they received from having a personal coach to answer their specific questions and give them the confidence that they were on the right track to make a good profit on their first deal.

Rupi Sian is a coach on the Ted Thomas Coaching team, passionate about helping students succeed in the real estate market through the purchase of tax liens and tax deeds.
