In this episode of The Science of Flipping, I sit down with Tony Martinez, a 33-year veteran in tax lien investing and founder of the U.S. Tax Lien Association. Tony reveals how he acquires properties for as little as $4,000–$20,000—free and clear, with no mortgage or liens—using Over-the-Counter (OTC) Tax Deed Acquisitions, a strategy that bypasses competitive tax auctions. He explains how counties hold thousands of tax-defaulted properties, why most investors overlook these opportunities, and how his 14-point research system ensures he only buys profitable properties. Tony debunks common myths about tax liens, warns against bad information in the industry, and shares real-life case studies of deals where he and his students have turned small investments into huge profits. If you’re struggling to find off-market deals, this episode is a must-listen—and Tony’s FreeCrashCourse.com is the perfect place to start. 🚀
