Meet Ed Mitchell

Ed Mitchell is a UCLA graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Economics and over three decades of expertise in real estate and tax deed investing.

He formerly owned and operated an appraisal business, providing valuations for 1–4-unit residential properties, large multi-family complexes, and substantial commercial retail projects for institutional lenders and the Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC). Ed's deep understanding of property analysis and market trends has established him as a trusted resource in the real estate community.

As a Tax Deed Acquisition Specialist for a $150 million tax deed investment fund, Ed has spent the past 32 years helping investors navigate the complexities of tax deed acquisitions. He is a dedicated mentor, offering one-on-one guidance to individuals and leading a renowned three-day Tax Deed Mastery course over a three decade period. Ed's commitment to education and his hands-on approach have empowered countless investors to achieve success in the tax-deed market.

Those painful lessons became the foundation of everything I teach today. I realized that tax deed investment isn't just about finding cheap properties—it's about understanding the legal framework, doing proper due diligence, and having a systematic approach to every acquisition.

Over the next 30+ years, I refined my process through hundreds of auctions, rehabilitation and disposition. I learned which states offered the best opportunities (for my current situation), how to spot red flags before buying, and most importantly, how to consistently find properties that will be high ROI projects for my company and even more importantly for my investors. I will teach you these 30+ years of experience, good and bad.

While acquiring over 400 properties and attending 200+ auctions across multiple states, I began passing on my knowledge/experience to others. When someone asks me what I do for a living, "I say I'm a real estate investor". Real Estate investment is extremely profitable, but it's not always soul fulfilling. Mentoring (or passing on knowledge) happens to be soul fulfilling for me. In the 90's what was informal mentoring evolved into structured training programs, and eventually into the "Tax Deed Collective", which I can comfortably say is the most comprehensive platform designed to give investors everything I wish I had when I started.

Today, I've helped over 1,000 students navigate their first tax deed purchases, avoid expensive mistakes, and build profitable real estate portfolios. The Tax Deed Collective was formed with you, the Tax Deed investor, in mind. The TDC platform was designed for Tax Deed investor needs. We focus on (and teach) the most profitable markets, while providing data on 3,500+ counties nationwide. As compared to the original "list" of the "other companies", our auction sales data is updated every 3-7 days.
