How to Master Texas Tax Sales & Foreclosures with Legend Arnie Abraham

How to Master Texas Tax Sales & Foreclosures with Legend Arnie Abraham

Author: Scott Carson April 22, 2026 Duration: 43:44

Are you looking to break into the Texas real estate market but tired of the heavy competition in the "Triangle" (Dallas, Houston, Austin)? In this episode, we sit down with the "Texas Tax Lien Legend" himself, Arnie Abramson. With over 30 years of experience, Arnie is the former president of the Texas REIA and an acknowledged expert in the unique world of Texas foreclosure auctions.


We dive deep into why Texas is a Tax Deed State, not a tax lien state, and why that distinction is a massive advantage for investors. Arnie explains the mechanics of "First Tuesday" auctions, the 25% redemption penalty that works in the investor's favor, and how to find hidden gems in smaller, growing counties like Hunt, Collin, and Hays.

If you are a new or seasoned real estate investor, this episode is a masterclass in navigating the complexities of trustee sales and tax foreclosures in the Lone Star State.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Tax Deeds vs. Tax Liens: Why buying the property outright is better than just buying the debt.
  • The "First Tuesday" Rule: How Texas auctions work and why timing is everything.
  • Cashier's Check Strategies: Navigating the payment requirements for different types of sales.
  • The 25% Redemption Rule: How investors earn massive returns even if a property is redeemed.
  • The Power of Smaller Markets: Why Arnie avoids the Big 5 cities and where the real profit is hiding.
  • Helping Homeowners: How Arnie uses owner-financing and "equity deals" to create win-win situations for families in distress.
  • Join the Team: Arnie is looking for partners to help with due diligence, property previews, and bidding across Texas.


That’s a wrap on this masterclass with the man, the myth, and the legend, Arnie Abraham! If there is one thing you should take away from today, it’s that Texas real estate waits for no one—especially on the First Tuesday of the month.


Whether you’re ready to dive into the tax deed game yourself or you want to partner up with a veteran who has seen it all, now is the time to act. Don't let these off-market opportunities pass you by while you're stuck fighting for scraps in the big cities. Grab your phone, save Arnie’s number, and start building that Texas-sized portfolio you’ve always dreamed of.


Remember: in Texas, we do everything fast—fast highways, fast foreclosures, and fast paths to wealth if you know the right people. Thanks for tuning in, and we'll see you at the next auction!"
