The Ted Thomas Research System

Spend your time on deals, not data. We took the research method Ted Thomas, the authority on tax-defaulted property investing, has taught for 30 years, automated it, so that in minutes you can have a short list of deals worth your Saturday.

Your short list

3 worth a closer look
Property 1 · Single-family home
  • Check recent sales nearby
  • Look at the street view and map
  • Confirm liens and title with the county
Property 2 · Vacant lot
  • Confirm road access and zoning
  • Check the flood map
Property 3 · Mobile home on land
  • Confirm what is included in the sale


The real problem

The deals are out there. The research is what stops people.

Every year, counties across the country put thousands of tax-defaulted properties up for sale. There is no shortage of opportunity.

The hard part is getting through it. One county list can run hundreds of rows. You have to find it, clean it, sort it, look up values, and then do it all again for the next county. That can eat a month of weekends.

So most people stall out somewhere around row 40. Not because the deals aren't there. Because the research wore them out before they found one worth bidding on.

The Ted Thomas Research System takes that grind off your plate, so your time goes where the money is: the few properties that are actually worth a look.

The system does the part in between.

“So is it AI?”

It’s Ted’s research method. Automated.

The same step-by-step process Ted has taught for 30 years, built into a system that does the research for you.

You don’t learn it.We install it.It works for you.

That’s the whole answer.

What changes for you

Less time on spreadsheets.
More time on deals.

01

Get hundreds of hours back

Finding lists, sorting rows, and looking up values is the work that used to eat your weekends. Now it’s done before your coffee gets cold.

02

See more deals

When one county takes minutes instead of weeks, you can look at the next one, and the one after that. More lists means more chances to find a good one.

03

Get ahead of the crowd

Most investors are still working county lists by hand in spreadsheets. You show up with your homework done and your short list ready.

04

Bid on a few every year or month

The goal is simple: real properties you can bid on with confidence, every year. Not another list sitting unopened in your downloads folder.

The old way vs. your way

Same county list.

“It’s like getting the keys to a Ferrari. You don’t need to know how the engine works. You need someone to teach you to drive it. That’s what we do.”

Before you choose

Your questions, answered.

Is this AI?

It’s Ted’s proprietary research method, automated. It runs on modern AI tools behind the scenes, but you never have to think about that part. You don’t learn it. We install it, and it works for you.

Do I need to be good with computers?

No. Ted’s team installs everything and shows you how to use it on a live call. You can type, or just press a button and say what you’re looking for.

How soon will it be working for me?

We install it after the event. The goal is to have it working for you by the next weekend.

Does it work with Magic Map and my own lists?

Yes. It works with county lists, Magic Map data, and your own spreadsheets.

Does it decide what I buy?

No. It does the research and hands you the short list. You make the call, and your coaching classes teach you how to judge a deal. It never bids, buys, or spends money for you.

What else will I pay for?

Just the assistant platform subscription, paid directly to the platform. Plans start at about $20 a month. The training fee covers installation, coaching, and support.

Your next weekend

Other investors will spend it sorting spreadsheets. You could spend it on your 3.
