Who is Jack Bosch?
Jack Bosch is one of the Country’s foremost experts in Tax Delinquent Property Investing and more recently an educator in Real Estate Investment Matters.
Since 2002 I have been buying and selling mainly unimproved l and and after counting them the other day I realized that I have done more than 3137 Land Deals. These are NOT transactions where I was facilitating the sale as an Agent, but instead I was a principal in the transaction (usually through one of my LLCs), I had not realized that it was that many in such a short time.
I have been focusing on Real Estate Investing since the year 2002 and have been education the public about Investing in Tax Delinquent properties since the year 2008.
I currently hold a Real Estate License in the State of Arizona but do not use it to represent anyone but just use it for my own investment matters (although none is needed to do that) (this disclosure is required by the State of Arizona)
Jack’s Investment History:
I did not start out with much knowledge about Real Estate.
I did start out my Working life after college with a decent education but $0.00 to my name, a job and an old car. I had never owned any real estate and actually didn’t even know even the most minimal terminology used in the real estate world.
The first time I read about things like “deeds” I did not even understand what that word meant. I could just reference it to the Bible, into “good deeds” and “bad deeds” but Deeds in Houses? What the heck was that about?
But when I was not happy with my job which kept me away from my wife for weeks at the time I started looking for ways out of the JOB world. I wanted to take charge of my own life and not be someone’s “slave” being chased from client to client working long hours and getting NONE of the profits I was generating for my company.
I started looking at all kinds of investment and business opportunities. None of them qualified for my criteria.
Any business I wanted to get into needed pass the following test.
- Can it create HUGE PROFITS without me traveling and working 14 hour days
- Can it create Passive Income, meaning that once I created he cash flow stream does the cash flow stream continue for a substantial period of time (years).
- Can it be put on auto-pilot, meaning can I create it such that I build a system that others can follow and I basically check in and make sure everything is going as planned.
I looked at Retail business, Franchises, Multi-Level Marketing, so many business types I can hardly remember them all. And none passed that test in all 3 aspects.
But then I came across TAX DELINQUENT LAND AND HOMES and in particular the concept of buying land and small homes on which property taxes are owed, and the more I learned about it, the more I realized that right there in front of me was the MOST OVERLOOKED SECRET in the world. No not, just Buying Tax Lien Certificates and going to TAX SALES. Although there are TREMENDOUS amounts of money to be made in this area!!!
And most importantly I realized soon after looking at this area of investing that there are several investment techniques which are barely known which really had the potential to massively boost the performance and the profits in this business.
As a result this business MET, PASSED and EXCEEDED all three Criteria I had set.
PLUS IT SOUNDED AS LOTS OF FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi
I am trying to sign up for your 3 day intensive course in March. I have tried numerous times, however the space where the payment information is, is blank. There are no questions..just white space.
Is there another way to sign up or contact you? I have booked my travel there already.

Hi Jack,
My Mom was a German immigrant too!! She met Dad in Sicily and flew to the U.S. to get married!
Ok, I’ve seen numerous gurus claiming many things about big money and passive income. What about John Beck? In this market, can you sell land easily like you’ve stated? I want to improve my life and my familiy’s. Please give me some direction..You mentor? How did you do so many transactions?? I’ll await your response, David.

Dear Jack,
As a top influencer in the real estate industry, you’ve probably heard about the scandal surrounding Vesta Strategies, one of the many Qualified Intermediary “experts” that has recently gone bust, taking over $100 million of their clients’ money down with it. I know the heartache of working with Vesta first-hand: In early 2007 I almost lost $6 million by trusting them with my 1031 exchange.
The unfortunate reality is that the abuse case of Vesta Strategies is not an isolated instance. The real estate community is losing millions of dollars every year through 1031 exchanges gone bad, and it’s time for a change.
Since my eye-opening experience in 2007, I’ve been working on my personal brand of revenge: Starting a 1031 exchange company that puts investors first; that will protect the investor’s money as if it were their own. Launching this month, RockSolid 1031 goes beyond current regulations (or lack thereof) to ensure the security of your money. We commit to depositing funds only in money-market accounts that invest in government-backed securities. We have built RockSolid to facilitate the simplest 1031 exchanges possible. With unparalleled transparency and service throughout the entire process, RockSolid is a qualified intermediary created by real estate investors to meet the specific needs of real estate investors and their advisors.
1031 abuse is a disturbing trend that all real estate investors should be aware of. As an influencer in the real estate space, I wanted to reach out and share with you our story. I would also love the opportunity to speak personally with you. If that sounds of interest, please email me back at PeterWunsch@RockSolid1031.com.
Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you.
Peter Wunsch
Chairman, RockSolid 1031

I must say, I could not agree with you in 100%, but it’s just my opinion, which indeed could be very wrong.
p.s. You have a very good template for your blog. Where did you find it?

What a great post! I really like the fact that you have expressed your opinion, but yet not forced it on anyone
You put out the information and let others make up their own minds. Keep up the good work.
