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.

Bill Beddoes

Bill Beddoes met Ted Thomas at a Rich Dad event and since then…. his life has completely changed! Ted Thomas and his team of coaches completely transformed Bill’s life so now Bill wants to pass on the knowledge he learned from Ted Thomas and his success to his students.

Bill lives and works in Michigan and spent most of his adult life in the retail business.

Bill was looking for a higher return investment that was less time intensive than retail – That’s when he discovered Ted Thomas and the low risk, less work and higher profits possible buying and selling tax defaulted properties.

Bill learned from Ted’s training, attended his three-day workshop and took action buying tax deed properties in Michigan.

Since Bill began, he has made more than 70 tax defaulted property deals, and has been to 41 live auctions in 5 states.

Bill quickly became an expert at buying very low cost properties worth many times what he paid for them… BUT, he wasn’t selling them. Bill knew how to BUY, but he didn’t know how to SELL… until he got a coach.

Coach Krystal was Bill’s coach, and she gave him a kick in the butt and showed him strategies to sell the properties. Bill has now sold most of those properties, and is still an active investor.

Bill tells the process he uses to succeed investing in tax defaulted properties at Ted’s workshops and is one of Ted’s personally trained certified coaches. He most enjoys going to a live auction tour with Ted’s students.

Investing in the Age of the Coronavirus

I've read this message, thank you!

We are living in unprecedented times. Many of our leaders and those in the media are trying to project the idea that this is a ‘two-week’ home holiday.

Smart investors realize this is not the case. The economic and social fallout due to COVID-19 will be monumental and unpredictable. 2008 was nothing like what we are facing. There is nothing in human history that is remotely relatable to the consequences that the coronavirus will bring. Today we are witnessing a profound change in our economy and our society. To say this is the biggest social experiment in history is an understatement.

We can do one of two things: Act or React

Sadly, there will be disastrous consequences in the coming months that the media and our leaders are not presenting for fear of panic or just plain ignorance. However, savvy investors know the old saying, ‘The time to invest is when there is panic in the streets.’

Still, there is a real human element at stake here. When Ted Thomas created this investment strategy 25-years ago, it was to help seniors invest wisely; it was not to take advantage of other people’s misfortune.

We recognize there is a moral dilemma to Tax-Defaulted Property Investing, especially today.

Our position however, is clear, and upright.

We are not looking to take advantage of anyone’s inability to pay their taxes during these troubled times. However, the whole point to this 200-year-old program, created shortly after the Founding Fathers of our country established our nation, was to shore up local governments with economic protection when local homeowners were unable to pay their tax debt.

Just like the immune system in our bodies, Tax-Defaulted Property Investors are needed, now, more than ever.

The Founding Fathers believed in strong local government, and then the State government, and finally the Federal, in that order. Local governments are really the backbone of our society and are vital in times of crisis. Depending on the Federal Government has caused countless misfortunes.

Still, there will be major opportunities for investors to help these local governments, now more than ever, for two reasons:

  1. Naturally, there will be many households and investors who will walk away from their homes or commercial properties for obvious reasons. This will lead to more and more Tax-Lien Certificates and Tax Deeds being issued. Those with the funds to step in and rescue these municipalities will be seen as heroes, not profiters.
  2. The second reason that we will see many more opportunities is due to the measures that the Fed will take. By repeatedly trying to jump-start this moribund economy, they have reduced interest rates to near zero. Investors will be, quite naturally, wary of the stock market. Tax-Lien Certificates are mandated by law to offer from 12% all the way up to 36% interest in some States. But who will have the cash to inject into these local economies? Savvy investors like you.

In the spirit of our Founding Fathers, and in the moral spirit of true Americans, we are proud to reap a reward for doing our economic duty and keep our most vulnerable local governments solid.

“This program is 200-years old. It survived the War of 1812, it survived the Civil War, it survived the First World War, it survived the Great Depression, it survived the Second World War, it survived the Korean War, it survived the Vietnam War, it survived the Cold War, it survived all the Gulf wars, and survived the Spanish Flu, the Swine Flu, SARS, and it will survive this pandemic too.”
Ted Thomas
