Greg Barks (00:00) Hey, my name is Greg. And last November, I decided to join United Tax Liens. And really, the reason I did that was because I wanted to take my next step in my career. was convinced that investing in tax lanes was my key to success in retirement. After I joined United Tax Liens, I started to ramp up my investment and now I'm starting to see some tremendous returns. It's been an incredible journey, and I'm starting to see some real I'm really excited about my future, and scaling even further. I love getting up and working on this stuff. This is not a job to me. This is actually fun. I would highly recommend United Tax Liens. My name is Greg Barks. I live in St. Louis, Missouri, and I'm a retired IT operational excellence professional. And right now, as a retirement career, I'm doing real estate investing. The reason I almost didn't join United Tax Leans was because of the financial commitment. I trusted United Tax liens because of their approach to coaching. They're really focused on the process and not necessarily the outcome. The #1 benefit that I've experienced as a result of joining United Tax Liens is really more or less a game changer for me in terms of my approach to retirement. With United Tax Liens, returns that I'm seeing were way, way more than what I was thinking about planning for retirement. Typically, you think about the 4 % rule, typical pension returns are roughly 6 to 8 % annual returns. With looking at tax liens, I was considering 18%, which is a huge difference. So this is really the me focus on tax liens in terms of... what my retirement could look like. The private coaching with United Tax Liens has been fantastic. My coach took the time to really teach me the process. And now that I have the process down, I can invest with confidence. It's been a great experience working with this individual. She really knows the process, she's an expert in her field, and I feel privileged spend the time with her for her to teach me. After I joined United Tax Liens, I bought my first lien within a month. So I started in November of 2024 and I bought my first lien in December of 2024. And I got paid on that lien in June of '25. the coaching really took me down a path where I could start to see the value quickly. I did buy a tax lien after I completed the proof of concept lien purchase. I am using my 401k money as self-directed money to invest in tax liens. And now I've invested hundreds of thousands of dollars of my 401k money in tax liens. After I joined United Tax Liens, I'm starting to build my wealth in retirement in addition to generating income for my retirement. My legacy is really going to be about how I pass along that wealth to my children If you're unsure about making an investment with United Tax Liens I would say, "Go for it." Put yourself out there. You're not going to regret it. All you're going to do is make yourself a more rounded individual. You're going to learn a ton. And that knowledge is going to take you places that you've never seen before, especially as you think about your retirement planning and beyond. It's been an incredible journey for me and I would have not done it any other way. No regrets.
