• Proven profitability: Achieved positive returns and issued investor distributions within first eight months.
• Debt-free acquisitions: All properties are purchased outright with no leverage.

CORE Tax Deeds is raising capital to expand its portfolio of tax-delinquent real estate properties in Texas and Oklahoma. The company uses a strategy of acquiring tax deed properties at county auctions—both live and online—without incurring debt, enabling it to convert sheriff’s deeds into marketable titles and sell them at wholesale. Since launching, CORE Tax Deeds has focused on securing high-yield investments with a conservative risk profile through detailed due diligence, property inspections, lien research, and immediate post-acquisition property management. This approach has already led to profitability within the company’s first year of operations, and the team is now offering more investors the chance to participate through its Regulation CF offering.

The funds raised through this offering will be used to purchase additional tax deed properties, grow the company’s real estate portfolio, and continue providing investors with consistent returns. By operating across all 254 counties in Texas and expanding into Oklahoma, the company capitalizes on the frequent availability of auctioned properties and their potential for redemption or resale. CORE Tax Deeds differentiates itself through accessibility—allowing non-accredited investors to participate—and transparency, offering regular updates and a clear process. Investors benefit not only from returns based on redemptions but also from property resales and potential rental income.
