Featured on Investor Fuel: John Berlet’s Take on Tax Deeds and Retirement Strategy
When an industry veteran like John Berlet is invited onto the Investor Fuel Real Estate Pros Show, it’s not just a podcast appearance—it’s a signal that something important is happening in real estate investing.
In the episode titled “Secret Niche for Effective Retirement Planning with Real Estate Tax Liens,” Berlet shares how CORE Tax Deeds is making a traditionally niche asset class—Texas tax deed investing—accessible to a broader range of investors. Drawing on his background as a Registered Investment Advisor and his experience managing a $52 million book of business, Berlet explains why tax deed investing may be uniquely suited for those planning for or approaching retirement.
Among the key points covered:
How Texas law rewards tax deed investors with mandatory redemption premiums of 25% to 50%—not interest that diminishes over time.
Why CORE’s structure under Regulation CF enables both accredited and non-accredited investors to participate—an uncommon level of access in private real estate.
How investors can use IRAs or other retirement accounts to participate, subject to tax professional guidance.
What CORE’s due diligence model looks like in practice, including lien checks, site assessments, and strategic post-auction acquisitions.
This conversation isn’t just informative—it underscores why John Berlet and CORE Tax Deeds are helping redefine what strategic, asset-backed retirement investing can look like.
