Need Info On Trinity Consulting
Has anyone heard of Trinity Consulting?
Apparently, they are a company that teaches you about buying tax sale properties. Supposidly they match you with investors to buy these properties (which I need to research and find, by the way), and then you split the profits.
They want a large up front investment. Before I go any further investigating them, I was wondering if anyone here has heard of them and what your thoughts are. Is this the real thing, or a scam?

You are not buying property when you purchase a tax lien! So are we talking about a company that teaches you how to purchase tax liens?

Where are they at?
I spoke with a company with a similar name. The up front fee with the company i spoke to was BS.
I am not saying they are the same company contact me and we can compare notes **Please See My Profile**

I think that organization is run by or affilliated with Ted Thomas. If so, run away from it as fast as you can. Clutch your pocketbook to you for dear life.
Tax lien investing is easy to understand, easy to do, profitable, and safe, if you follow sensible guidelines. These days, however, most of the liens in the most populous counties are bought by the huge wall street firms. You probably will have to look to lesser population counties to be able to find deals.
And, they are not available in every state. If you have to travel very far they are much less attractive as investments.
"The 16% Solution" by Moskowitz, a Los Angeles attorney, is a cheap, readily available discussion of the topic. While a little old, the principles have not changed, even if some the of laws have changed in some of the states.

Great Advice.

I am not positive where Trinity is located, but they gave me an Atlanta, GA number to call into for a conference call. for some reason, I think they are in California, but I am not positive.
I ended up deciding not to do this with them. There was the $10k up front initial, which I thought was BS, then the sales person kept calling me every day. I am in sales and I can tell you the #1 way to tick off your customer is to call every day to ask if he is ready to order something. That in itself made me wary. If it is so good then you don't need high-pressure sales tactics.

Yep...that sure sounds like the company that called me. Same M/O.
Anyway, glad I stayed away.
Thanks for the response.
