How Much Should You Pay For A Tax Lien Or Tax Deed?

Posted on April 15, 2011 by Debby

One of the Issues that I hear repeated time after time when it comes to tax lien and tax deed investing is:

“How do I determine how much money I should pay for a tax lien or tax deed?”

The thing is, how much money you can pay for a tax lien or a tax deed and still make a good profit on your investment depend on the value of the property. So in order to show you how to evauluate tax sale properties I’m bringing the expert on real estate valuation. His name is Mark Jackson, known online as MJ, and he’s the founder of InvestorCompsOnline.com.

If you’d like to read the story about how MJ and I met and how I became a fan of InvestorCompsOnline, you can find it on the webinar registration page at www.TaxLienLady.com/WebinarTraining. In this free webinar training MJ will teach you how to use appraiser secrets and how to get better data to make bigger profits on every tax deed you purchase and every tax lien that you foreclose on.

This training is for experienced investors that want an edge when it comes to picking the properties to invest in and new investors who want to learn secrets to doing due diligence on tax sale properties. This special webinar training will be held on Wednesday April 27th from 9:00 pm to 10:30 pm Eastern Time. The replay will be made available to all registrants.

Over the past 6 months, TaxLienLady.com and TaxSaleResources.com have continued taking several steps to provide the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding tax sales across the country.?

In the near future, this system will allow users to pre-search and pre-filter tax sale lists based on property-specific criteria before purchasing enhanced or premium lists. And the standard lists, as before, are free with a basic subscription. Continue reading →

Monday Motivation And A Story

Posted on April 11, 2011 by Joanne

Here’s another motivational message from my friend Arnfried,  from Be Motivated Today and a story from my experience this past weekend:

We all face obstacles from time to time, I’m facing one at the moment. Whether the problem overcomes me, or whether I rise up to overcome it, depends on my attitude towards it. How do I see this obstacle? How do I mentally approach it? The answers to these questions will determine whether this obstacle takes me down or makes me grow.

I must see this as a “challenge” not as a “problem”. The word “problem” conjures up visions of defeat and struggle. But a “challenge” is something to be overcome. It draws the best out of us. Continue reading →

From the Road: Do You Need A Mentor?

Posted on April 8, 2011 by Joanne

I’m writing this from the Clarion Hotel in Shreveport Louisiana. I’m here with my son Peter for USA Weightlifting’s National Collegiate Championships. Since this is Pete’s first year in County College, this is his first Collegiate Championships. This is his second national contest this year. He won his class at the National Junior Championships back in February for the 4th year in a row, and last December he attained his first gold medal in the American Open.

Also with us is Peter Roselli, who has been my weightlifting coach and mentor, who is also my son’s coach since he was 10 years old. My son Pete is now 18 and one of the top young weightlifters in the country. He got to where he is through dedication and hard work, my watchful eye, and the expert coaching that he received from Mr. Roselli. So what has this got to do with you? And what has got to do with tax lien investing? Continue reading →

Beyond The Basics For Tax Lien Investors: What You Need To Know And When You Need It

Posted on April 6, 2011 by Joanne

We all suffer from “paralysis of analysis” at one time or another, where we are reluctant to go forward with something until we know all there is to know about it.

The problem is, with most things that are worth pursuing, we’ll never know all there is to know about it. And the best way to learn what we need to know is to get started doing it. Tax Lien Investing is no different. Many would be investors never get started. Oh, they buy all the programs and ask a lot of questions, but they never feel they know enough about it to start. They get paralyzed by the fear of the unknown.

But tax lien investing is not rocket science and you don’t need a college degree, or even a high school diploma to make money at tax lien investing. So how do you know that you know enough to get started?  Or, if you’ve already started to invest in tax lien certificates, how do you learn what it is you need to know to protect your investment? From what I’ve seen in the industry, and from the questions that I’ve gotten from subscribers to my web site, I believe that there are three different stages of knowledge or learning about tax lien investing that the investor needs. But you don’t have to go through each of these learning stages before you know enough to get started. Continue reading →
