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.

Monday Motivation: Believe In Yourself

Posted on June 12, 2011 by Joanne

“You can succeed if nobody else believes it, but you will never succeed if you don’t believe in yourself.” – William J.H. Boetcker

Every day brings new experiences that you can add to your learning. The wealth of experience and knowledge you have accumulated over the years, plus the things you have already achieved, will help you accomplish goals that you never even dreamed were possible.

Believe in your ability to do awesome things. Don’t worry about how you’ll get it right, just start telling yourself that you can reach incredible goals. You can achieve your dreams. Each of us has to start believing that we can. We need to see ourselves as achievers.

When you have that kind of mindset, and a wild idea pops into your mind, you won’t say: “I could never”. You’ll think: “That sounds like a great idea. Why don’t I try that?”

Believe in yourself. You can do so much.

Affirmations:
I believe in myself
I can reach my dreams
I have incredible potential

Be all you can be,

With Fond Regards

Your Better Future

“The major key to your better future is YOU.” ? Jim Rohn

As you grow personally: developing your attitudes, skills and character, you will become more of what you were born to be.

To do the great things that you were born to do, you need to become more.?A character that can persevere when everything inside of you wants to quit. Goal directed and focused so you are not sidetracked by the irritations of life. Growing in humility so that you don?t become arrogant and drive others away. At the same time, having a belief in yourself and a trust in your Creator because when things are not working, you need to keep believing and working hard.

Keep working on yourself. You have so much to give this world.

Affirmations:
I love to grow
I work hard on myself
I am becoming all I can be

Be all you can be.

With Fond Regards
