Brad Westover, CTLP®, is the Executive Director of the National Tax Lien Association and has invested over $1.5 billion in tax sale assets across 25 states. In NTLA University he teaches how the process really works, including the risks, the rules and the due diligence it takes to do it right.
Brad has been investing in tax liens and tax deeds since 1995. He teaches from real experience in the industry, not from theory.
Over three decades he has invested more than $1.5 billion in tax sale assets across 25 states, and today he serves as Executive Director of the National Tax Lien Association, the nonprofit trade association for the tax sale industry. He is a nationally recognized speaker and a Certified Tax Lien Professional (CTLP®).
Brad is passionate about helping others develop their own tax sale investing strategy while avoiding common pitfalls. That passion led him to create NTLA University and to travel the country teaching it.
Two self-paced courses, each covering one side of the tax sale market from start to finish. Both are taught by Brad Westover.
When property taxes go unpaid, local governments recover that revenue through tax sales. Depending on the state, those sales take one of two main forms.
The investor pays the delinquent taxes and receives a lien on the property. The owner can redeem by repaying the amount plus interest or penalties set by state law. The investor holds a lien, not the property.
The property itself is sold at auction to recover the unpaid taxes. The winning bidder receives a deed, along with the responsibilities that come with owning real estate, such as title work, possession and upkeep.
Tax sales can be a legitimate part of an investment strategy, but they are not a shortcut to wealth. Our courses are built by the industry's trade association to help you understand the market as it is, so you can decide whether it's right for you.
