Honest Expectations
What this won't do
The Playbook is a reference guide. It contains detailed, factual information about how tax sales work in San Bernardino County. It does not:
- Promise returns or guarantee profits
- Provide legal or tax advice
- Tell you which properties to buy
- Replace professional due diligence
Tax sale investing involves real risk. Properties may have access issues, title problems, environmental concerns, or other complications. The Playbook helps you understand what to look for, but every purchase requires your own research and judgment.
If you're looking for a get-rich-quick system, this isn't it. If you want clear, organized information to support your own decision-making, it's a solid starting point.
