Navigating the New Normal in Distressed Real EstateWelcome back to another essential update for real estate investors, note buyers, and market watchers! We are officially in Q2 of 2026, and the landscape of distressed property is shifting rapidly. In this episode, we dive deep into the latest data from the Texas foreclosure auctions and broader national trends. Is the market entering a crisis, or are we simply returning to pre-pandemic normalization? Whether you are looking for residential opportunities in Harris County or commercial assets in North Texas, this episode provides the data-backed roadmap you need to stay ahead of the curve.National Trends & Q1 Market DataWe kick things off by breaking down the latest quarterly report from Auction.com, featuring insights from industry expert Darren Blomquist. Across the USA, we are seeing a significant return to 2020 levels of market stress.National Volume Spike: Foreclosure auction volume increased 33% in 2026, reaching a six-year high.Widespread Distress: 44 states and the District of Columbia reported annual increases in foreclosure volume.Normalization vs. Crisis: While volume is up, the data suggests a steady "normalization" to pre-pandemic levels rather than a sudden market crash.Equity Erosion: Average equity for scheduled foreclosures has declined to 26.9%—a 13% drop year-over-year—driven by cooling property values.The REO Shift: Banks are increasingly taking properties back at auction and listing them as REOs on digital platforms at "market-attuned" pricing.The Texas Lone Star Update: May 2026As one of the leading foreclosure states in the country, Texas is seeing a fascinating month-over-month shift. We break down the residential and commercial filings for May:The Monthly Drop: Despite an annual upward trend, May saw 3,774 filings—a 20% decrease from April.Commercial Snapshot: There are 456 commercial filings across Texas this month, with North Texas (DFW area) leading the charge at 144 filings.County Breakdown:Harris County: Remains a powerhouse with 698 residential filings.Bexar County: Holding steady with 397 filings.Dallas & Tarrant: Seeing slight month-over-month declines but still high-volume markets.The "Zero" List: Notably, Fort Bend and Montgomery counties showed zero scheduled foreclosures in the reported data for this specific period.Strategies for InvestorsWe also discuss how to capitalize on these trends, including a recap of our session with Texas legend Arnie Abramson on making money at tax sales. Learn why buyers are currently paying roughly 67 cents on the dollar for auction assets and how "bid-ask spreads" are narrowing as sellers adjust to sluggish conditions.Conclusion: Take Action in the Distressed MarketThe numbers don't lie—the foreclosure supply is rebuilding, and the opportunities for prepared investors are growing. Don't wait for the competition to catch up. Use the resources mentioned in today's show, like Roddy's List and Foreclosure.com, to do your due diligence and start bidding with confidence.

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.

There are states that are called tax lien state because they only offer liens for sale at the tax auctions. Texas is one of those states, and in their auctions, bidding starts with the amount owed for the tax liens. If an investor buys the property at the minimum bid, it catches up on back taxes for ownership and rights of possession and then is sold to the highest bidder, including the right to own and possess. Arnie Abramson explains that this allows investors like him to purchase tax sale properties below market value. Love the show?

Have you ever wondered what would happen to your property if you didn't pay your taxes?  Most people envision the police eventually knocking at the door and throwing you out.  The reality in Texas at least is that the knock will eventually come, but it will be an investor knocking, an investor like today's guest, Arnie Abramson. Arnie has been investing in Texas tax auctions since the early 1990s.  With a very long track record of success, he leads the Texas Tax Sales Resource Group, which is comprised of individual investors that have been investing in income producing real estate in Texas for many years.  The Group helps members find, bid on, purchase, and own properties that go to public auction in all 254 counties in Texas. The law in Texas is very favorable to investors in these properties.  The winning bidder at the auction is immediately awarded ownership and possession of the property.  The ONLY right the previous owner retains is the right to "redeem" the property, a process by which the investor is rewarded with a 25% to 50% profit on his/her investment.  If you are or want to be a real estate investor, you should listen to this episode twice! In addition to investing in tax auctions in Texas, Arnie makes available to his priority members investment in certain tax liens outside of the Lone Star State, through the Lien-to-Deed program, the details of which he also shares in this episode. Karen and Kevin are both Priority Members in the program, and as Karen says in the episode, just having the knowledge and education that Arnie provides gives us the confidence to go and bid at the auctions, which to the uninitiated are intimidating and confusing.  If you decide to become a Priority Member too, we've worked out a discount with Arnie if you call by Monday, March 13! If you'd like to ask Arnie a question directly, please feel free to reach out to him at arnie@txtaxsales.com.

Before becoming a Texas real estate investor in 1991, Arnie Abramson had successful careers as a financial planner and Vice-President of Marketing for a national real estate management company that marketed public Real Estate Limited Partnerships. He began buying houses at Texas Sheriff Sales in 1992 and has been an investor, landlord, mentor, educator, speaker and property manager for over twenty years. Arnie is a national speaker on Texas tax deed sales and is the Texas provider for tax deed purchases for several of the national tax lien gurus seen on the Internet. He is past president of the Texas Real Estate Investors Association (TxREIA), on the Advisory Board of several REIAs and was a co-founder of the REI EXPO. He was also quoted in US NEWS AND WORLD REPORT this year and acknowledged as the expert in Texas tax sales by the Tax Lien Lady in her book on tax liens. His company, Texas Tax Sales Resource Group LLC, HAS THE ONLY COMPLETELY TURNKEY REAL ESTATE INVESTING PROGRAM THAT COVERS THE ENTIRE STATE OF TEXAS. This includes the research, due diligence, previewing, bidding, inspecting, rehabbing, renting and management of the properties purchased at the Texas tax sales. This program, along with the Lien to Deed program that converts tax liens to deeds in other states, is available to the PRIORITY MEMBERS. Priority Membership information is available by contacting Arnie through REInvestorSummit.com/taxdeeds (tell him Mitch sent you) In addition, the very popular Learn and Earn Program does not require Priority Membership.
