Hello, SDI Nation!  Welcome to the podcast of record for savvy, self-directed investors like you, where we have one and only one purpose:  To help you make great investments that are simple, safe and strong!

And BOY-oh-BOY do I have a great strategy for you today!

Let’s take a journey into imagination, shall we?

Imagine that you’re presented with an array of dozens of locked “treasure” boxes.  You can buy any of these treasure boxes you want for $1,000.  And when you do so, if you’re able to get the treasure box opened, there’s a multiple of your investment waiting inside… maybe $20,000…. Maybe $75,000… maybe much, much more.

Of course, there’s the chance that there’s nothing inside at all.  And there’s the chance that you never figure out how to get the treasure box unlocked to begin with… and thus, your $1,000 is wasted.

Sounds like a gamble, doesn’t it?

But what if the predictability is MUCH higher?  What if a certain portion of those treasure boxes have a particular marking on the outside, which means that there’s treasure to extracted from within?

And what if, before ever ponying up your $1,000, you were able to closely inspect the lock itself, to determine with a high degree of accuracy whether you can break the lock and pull out the treasure?

Well, my friends, that’s exactly what I’m going to teach you to do today, and for those of you who are looking for a way to increase – potentially dramatically increase – the size of your portfolio, this is a special strategy… and it works particularly well for those of you using a self-directed IRA or 401k.

Here’s how it works:

There are hundreds of thousands of houses out there that have real value – they’re treasure boxes – but unfortunately, that treasure is bound up because of tax debt.  The owner of the house has some tax problems, there’s an IRS or state tax lien against them, and because of that, all of the equity in their treasure is totally ZAPPED.  It’s worth absolutely nothing.

And that’s why it’s possible to buy these houses for virtually no money at all… because they are, from a wholly objective perspective, worthless.

But why would you buy a worthless house, even if only for a small amount of money?

It’s because you know two things:

1. What the house would be worth without those liens against it, and
2. How to pick the lock – how to have those tax liens reduced far enough that there’s a big profit waiting in it for you!

Here’s an example that’ll really get your juices flowing:

Tim, a member of the SDI Team, recently found a property that’s worth a bit over $400k.  Unfortunately, there was about $900,000 of debt against that property, nearly all of which was tax debt.

This house was to Tim one of those treasure boxes I mentioned to you.  Because he was able to acquire title to that property for virtually no money at all.

But why would he do that?  Sure, it’s a $400,000 property… but it’s got absolutely no value.  And isn’t it just a crapshoot to invest in a property on the assumption that you’re going to be able to get the owner’s tax debt reduced?

Well sure… it would be a crapshoot if that’s all the information Tim had.  But it wasn’t.  Tim was able to determine, in advance of putting a single dime into the property, that the entire situation – the owner, their financial situation, the property location and property value, all of the pertinent details – Tim was able to determine in advance that all of those things lined up such that there would be an overwhelmingly strong probability that he’d be able to work with the IRS and state taxing authorities to either reduce the debt or just remove it from the property, such that Tim would be left with a substantial amount of equity and a strong profit potential.

So Tim’s “treasure box” gave clear signs on the outside that there was some real treasure inside, because he could see that the property was worth over $400,000.  And the lock on the treasure box – the tax liens – gave Tim enough information to know that there’s a very, very good chance that he could “get at” the treasure inside.

The net result?  Well, Tim’s received a cash offer to buy this house for $374,000.  And when it’s all said and done, he’ll pocket around $90,000 in profit…

…all from a house that most investors would see as being utterly valueless, but is anything but that.

This treasure box was stuffed with cash, and Tim was able to make a highly informed, high-probability decision whether to risk a tiny amount of capital – usually from $1,000 to $5,000 – in order to extract many, many multiples of his investment less than a year later.  He did have to get some funding to carry the property for a brief interlude, because the IRS isn’t flexible about the deadlines they set for payment arrangements.  But no matter… the numbers worked, and worked incredibly well.

Think of it, my friends… think of the potential for buying well-selected “worthless” real estate like this in your IRA or 401k…  for a TINY amount of money… and then by using some legal expertise that can be purchased for a few thousand dollars, you’re able to “pick the lock”, creating substantial equity spreads that simply did not exist before you came into the picture?

That, my friends… is brilliance in investing, and that is why you listen to SDI Radio.

And you know what?  You’ve heard of this strategy before, but under a different name.  You’ve heard the term “short sale”, right?  That’s when you ask a lender to take less money than they’re owed because, in the grand scheme of things, it makes sense for them to do that.  Well, this is a short sale, too… only with tax debt.

It turns out that it’s possible – in SOME cases – to do that with tax debt.  Just like with mortgage short sales, you can’t reduce just any tax debt.  There are certain situations where the IRS isn’t going to budge, and they shouldn’t.  But as much as we all dislike the notion of having the IRS breathing down our necks, the truth is that they’re not stupid, and in some situations, it makes sense for them to work with taxpayers who are in trouble.

And it is those situations which create this opportunity.

My friends… invest wisely today, and live well forever!
