Guest Article: Fatal Tax Deed Mistake to Avoid!

Posted on July 2, 2011 by Joanne

Here is an article from my friend and colleague Dustin Hahn on a very important consideration when it comes to investing in tax deeds or redeemable tax deeds. I realize that some people who read this article are investing in tax deeds online and may be able to able to physically look at the property. If that is the case than I recommend that you have someone look at the property, and even take pictures of the property for you before you bid at the sale. Read this article by Dustin to see why this is so important.

“The Biggest Mistake You Can Make Is To Buy A Tax Deed Without Seeing It!”

A rule of thumb you must live by with tax deeds is “if you cant see it don’t buy it”

Most of the other people who teach tax liens and deeds tell you “look it up on google earth and zoom in!” and that’s all you need to do…..

Wrong!! Continue reading →

Update to Tax Foreclosure Fortunes Course

Posted on June 29, 2011 by Joanne

A couple of years ago I interviewed Cody Matousek, real estate and tax deed investor about the excess proceeds strategy. That is buying a tax deed property directly from the owner of the property before it goes to the tax sale and then letting the property go to tax sale and collecting the excess proceeds or “over-bid.” This telesemianr was recorded and the audio along with the transcript was turned into a course. Over the next few months I added valuable resources to this course including a Manual, FAQ sheet, sample letters, sample quit claim deed, sample script, check lists, and bonus audios and videos.

I made the course available for the low price of $47.00 with the understanding that once the first 100 units were sold I would raise the price to $97. But I never raised the price of this course. In fact because of the weak real estate market and uncertain economic times I’ve decided to add even more value to the course and keep the price at $47.00!

The Tax Lien Foreclosure Fortunes course has recently be Continue reading →

Just Got Back From Georgia

Posted on June 28, 2011 by Joanne

I just got back from Georgia, and no I was not there for the tax sales.

Remember the tax sales in Georgia are on the first Tuesday of each month (in the larger counties. The smaller counties might not have a tax sale every month). I was in Georgia with my youngest son Nicholas to coach him in his first national weightlifting contest, USA Weightlifing’s National Schoolage Championships. Nicholas did a great job, making all 3 of his snatches and all 3 clean & jerks. He snatched 66kg (145.2 lbs) and clean & jerked 87kg (191 lbs) for a total of 153 kg (366 lbs). He placed 7th in the 16-17 age group and the 69 kg (151 lb) class, weighing 66.6 kg (146.5 lbs). He did great considering he’s only been lifting for a few months and for most of that time he couldn’t practice very much due to the fact that he was a varsity wrestler and varsity track athlete at school.

For those of you who have never seen olympic-style weightlifting before, I thought that you might enjoy this video of his?87kg?clean & jerk.

Notice the smiley face that he drew with chalk on his singlet before he went out to do his last lift.

That’s my Nick, he’s quite a character!

Guest Article: Buying Louisiana Tax Lien Titles

Posted on June 13, 2011 by Joanne

By Gilbert Bennet of? G Bennett 3 Investments and Andy Severino of ?http://www.neworleansrealestatenow.com

Louisiana is a great state for Tax Lien Investing.? I?m going to start with the basics here, Louisiana:
??Is a Tax Lien state
??Is a bid down state
??Has a 3 year redemption period
??Has additional 6 month period for advertisement and challenge to quiet title

Who sells property tax liens in Louisiana?

In most parishes in Louisiana, the sheriff is the taxing authority and the sheriff holds the tax sales, in New Orleans ? one of the state?s largest tax lien markets, the municipal treasury is the taxing authority and therefore responsible for the tax sale.

In many parishes tax lien auctions are held at a site determined by the sheriff and require you or a representative to be present, however, a growing number of parishes have been hosting their auctions online.? For better or worse, online auctions, where they take place, have significantly increased the number of participants in the auction, and, after some initial trepidation, increased the number of investors willing to bid less than 100% ownership for the taxes.
