Steven Jack B.: Before we get into it, let's take a question posted by one of our members on the landinvestors.com online community. It's free.
Jill Dewitt: Victor asks, is there a downside to buying a property at a tax deed auction? I was going to purchase a property from someone but found out it's not theirs anymore. It's currently for sale for a tax deed auction lower than the offer I sent them. Is there any downside of buying one from the county due to non payment of taxes? Thanks guys. Victor.
Steven Jack B.: This is a great question, and-
Jill Dewitt: I know you have a lot to say.
Steven Jack B.: I feel qualified to answer it.
Jill Dewitt: Yes you are.
Steven Jack B.: I started the whole company back in the day buying tax deeds, because the whole send stuff in the mail thing was not that ... It wasn't a-
Jill Dewitt: And it didn't have as cheap as now, first of all too.
Steven Jack B.: ... I've got my mind. In fact, and the data wasn't made available to the public. Real quest, it's this interesting? Core logic and Real Quest started this whole survey, this whole assessor data collection concept. And they set it up for oil and gas, the oil and gas industry, insurance, and mortgage people. They didn't set it up for like people like us investors or people, and then they found out later that this data that they're collecting is useful to people like us. So, there wasn't available. The only way you could get it as call each county that you're working on, and they would send you the data. And it's a big, huge mass. Sometimes they'd send it to you in a paper printout. So-
Jill Dewitt: I remember when you got this.
Steven Jack B.: Yeah.
Jill Dewitt: I remember jumping up and down. You're going, "Wait a minute, wait a minute. You guys have what?" Because it wasn't on their radar. You just did some searching and just happened to find a company that had what we needed.
Steven Jack B.: Right.
Jill Dewitt: That was it. And it was like, what was that?
Steven Jack B.: They don't really talk about it on the website even, back then.
Jill Dewitt: What year was that? I don't remember, like 2010, '9, '8, I don't remember.
