Thom Gilbert is a real estate investor and owner of TLC Investment Properties, a company that helps people turn their real estate investments into lucrative cash flow opportunities with significant returns on their investment. He was a competitive athlete who participated in various sports until a snowboarding accident changed his life and ended his athletic career. After years of rehab, postgraduate and real estate education - and lots of love from his family - he found another way to live life despite his disability.

 

Thom joins me today to share the incredible story of how he never gave up on life and how that eventually lead him to own a successful real estate company. He describes the challenges he faced when he was just starting and how he handled his first few deals. He also explains what tax liens are and the processes behind them and provides tips and encouragement to those who want to get into real estate.
