1st & 3rd Investments

The firm acquires real property through tax-lien investing. It purchases tax liens at county auctions; if the property owner redeems the lien, the firm earns statutorily set interest. If the lien is not redeemed, the firm forecloses to take direct ownership of the real estate at a deeply discounted cost basis.

Returns come from two paths. The first is interest income: when a property owner redeems the lien, the county remits the back taxes plus statutory interest, which varies by state and can reach 36% annually. The second path is acquisition: if the lien is not redeemed, the firm obtains the property for the price of the delinquent taxes plus fees, often well below market value.

No public record identifies a named principal, managing member, or investment committee. Public filings for the entity in available jurisdictions list only the registered agent required by state law, not the decision-maker.

Recorded deeds and tax-lien certificates show activity in multiple US states, including Arizona and Illinois. The firm appears to target jurisdictions with favorable statutory redemption rates and auction procedures, but does not publish a geographic mandate.

The entity is structured as a limited liability company and is tagged as a family office in certain data sources. Without a public-facing website, a named principal, or marketing materials, the precise relationship between a family's broader wealth and this entity's deed portfolio is unconfirmed.
