    SS285: Buying at a Discount, Selling at a Discount

    Buying a property below market value can look like a great opportunity—but what if the reason you’re buying at a discount is the same reason you’ll eventually have to sell at a discount? In this episode of Strategy Saturday, Charles Carillo discusses the hidden risks of purchasing properties with permanent valuation penalties and why investors should understand exactly what is causing a property to trade below comparable properties. Charles shares the example of a 3-unit property that had been sitting on the market at a discount. After reviewing the location, he discovered that the property was surrounded by industrial buildings, creating a permanent disadvantage compared with nearby residential properties. In this episode, you’ll learn: How an entry discount can be offset by lower rents, reduced tenant demand, longer vacancies, and higher concessions. Why the next buyer may expect the same—or an even larger—discount when you sell. The difference between external obsolescence and functional obsolescence. Examples of permanent issues, including power lines, highways, industrial surroundings, poor layouts, low ceilings, and inadequate parking. When buying a permanently discounted property may still make financial sense. Why cash flow becomes especially important when the property may be difficult to sell during weaker market cycles. Properties with permanent issues can still present opportunities, but investors need to understand that they usually cannot renovate their way out of a poor location.

    GI361: Tax Lien Investing Explained: A Title Attorney's Guide with Stephen Morel

    How does tax lien investing work—and is it really a way to acquire real estate for pennies on the dollar? In this episode of the Global Investors Podcast, Charles Carillo interviews Stephen Morel, a title attorney with 20 years of property-law experience and the founder and CEO of JurisDeed. Stephen explains how tax lien investing works, why local governments sell delinquent property-tax liens, how investors earn returns during the redemption period, and what happens when a property owner fails to repay the outstanding taxes. You’ll also learn why tax lien investing is primarily an interest-income strategy, not necessarily a shortcut to owning discounted real estate. Stephen breaks down the important differences between tax liens and tax deeds, how foreclosure works, and why legal notices, title research, due diligence, and state-specific regulations matter. In this episode, you’ll discover: • What tax lien investing is and how investors make money • The difference between tax liens and tax deeds • How the tax lien redemption period works • Why tax liens may take priority over existing mortgages • What happens after an investor purchases a tax lien • Why most tax liens are redeemed before foreclosure • The legal and compliance work required from investors • How institutional investors dominate the tax lien market • Why the secondary tax lien market remains fragmented • How JurisDeed is simplifying tax lien investing with data, automation, AI, and legal infrastructure Stephen also shares how Hurricane Katrina changed the direction of his legal career and eventually led him to develop title solutions for tax-sale properties. Today, JurisDeed is working to make the traditionally complex tax lien investment process more accessible to individual investors.
