    Tax Lien & Deed Training is a focused, niche course from FortuneBuilders covering how to identify, evaluate, and secure properties through tax lien and tax deed investing, a strategy many investors overlook. It includes seven video training modules, a state-by-state online auction guide and calendar, sample direct mail letters, and a companion manual. Rather than a broad real estate curriculum, this is a single-topic training meant to walk a specific niche strategy end to end.

    FAQ

    Answers to what buyers usually ask before enrolling in Than Merrill’s courses, pricing, reputation, refunds, and how AllPros scores verified reviews.
    Is Than Merrill still an active real estate investor, or just an educator now?

    Based on FortuneBuilders' own materials, Than and his co-founders continue to actively manage residential and commercial real estate investments alongside running the education business, rather than being educators only.

    Was Than Merrill really a professional football player?

    Yes. He played college football at Yale, was drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2001, and played briefly for the Chicago Bears before a knee injury ended his NFL career.

    What is Than Merrill's exact net worth?

    We don't know for certain. Public estimates range widely, from roughly $25 million to $100 million, and none of these figures appear to be independently audited, so we're not able to confirm one for you.

    Does Than Merrill personally coach FortuneBuilders students?

    Based on independent reviews of the company's programs, the day-to-day coaching in FortuneBuilders' flagship Mastery program is generally handled by a team of trained coaches rather than Than himself, though he remains involved at the leadership and events level. We'd recommend confirming current coaching structure directly with FortuneBuilders.

    Is Than Merrill still married, and does he have kids?

    Public sources indicate he is married to Cindy Merrill (also referenced as Cindy Phillips) and they have a son together, though we can't independently verify current personal details beyond what's publicly reported.
