Laying the Foundation (and Killing Bad Assumptions Early) Goal of this module: Reset expectations, eliminate bad mental models, and make sure members understand what business they are actually in before they ever look at a property.

The Filter That Prevents Bad Bids Goal of this module: Help members define what they will not bid on before emotions get involved. A buy box is a risk filter, not a wish list.

Why Counties Matter More Than Properties Goal of this module: Shift members from “deal hunting” to jurisdiction mastery. By the end of this module, they should understand why counties are the real gatekeepers of risk and opportunity in Texas tax deed investing. This module is where amateurs start losing ground to professionals.

Where Counties Hide the Deals Every Texas tax sale starts with a list — and almost no two counties publish them the same way. Some counties make lists easy to find. Others bury them in clerk portals, outdated PDFs, or mislabeled pages that only show up weeks before the sale. This module teaches you where to look, what to ignore, and how to build a repeatable system so you’re never scrambling at the last minute.

Don’t Get Burned Most people don’t lose money at the auction. They lose money after — because they didn’t understand what they were actually buying. Title research is where Texas tax deed investing becomes real. This is the skill that separates disciplined investors from people who “hope it works out.” In this module, you’ll learn how to research title well enough to survive — not to be perfect, but to be less wrong than the crowd.

This is the module where most “rules” people think they know about tax deed investing get dismantled. Some liens do get wiped out at a Texas tax deed sale. Some don’t. And some behave very differently than investors expect. In this module, you’ll learn exactly what survives, what doesn’t, and when assumptions get dangerous. The goal is not to memorize statutes — it’s to stop relying on hearsay, Facebook groups, and half-true advice. Stop being surprised after the auction.

The Math That Matters Redemption is not a mistake. It’s not a failure. And it’s definitely not something to fear. In Texas tax deed investing, redemption is the profit engine — if you understand the math, the timing, and how to plan around it. This module breaks down the 6-month vs 2-year redemption periods, explains the 25% premium properly, and shows you how to model returns in a way that actually reflects reality. Your investing becomes predictable instead of emotional.

Expectation Management Quiet title is one of the most misunderstood parts of Texas tax deed investing. Some investors think it’s automatic. Some think it’s optional. Others think it’s fast and cheap. This module exists to give you clarity, not optimism. You’ll learn when quiet title is actually required, when it isn’t, what realistic timelines and costs look like, and why attempting to shortcut this step is one of the fastest ways to turn a good deal into a long-term problem.

The Lifestyle Layer Every tax deed investment ends in an exit — whether you plan for it or not. Some investors only think in terms of selling. Others default to holding without understanding the tradeoffs. Very few design exits that actually support the life they want to build. This module connects the mechanics of Texas tax deed investing to real-world outcomes: income, time freedom, land stewardship, and long-term stability. Go from deals to focusing on direction.
