Warning For Out Of State Investors
As some states and local governments become more insolvent, they are finding ways to squeeze more money out of tax payers and property owners, including unsuspecting tax deed buyers. This is something that you need to be aware of if you purchase tax deeds in Indiana from out of state. I want to thank Jim for providing this warning to investors from his own personal experience.
“I buy tax deeds in Indiana because the returns can be very sweet.
In December ’11, I closed on an abandoned house I bought in Hammond, Indiana at the Lake County Tax Deed auction held in September 2010. Paid $3000, sold for $9,000 netted about $1600 after fees/expenses.
However…what Hammond did was hit me with all sorts of high fees for taking care of the house between the time I bought it and got clear title — about 13 months. Those fees include things like boarding up the windows, mowing the grass, etc. None of these fees came up in the title search except for $534, which I thought was semi-fair. Continue reading
Monday Motivation: Confidence To Do Anything
Today I have a quote for you that was sent to me by my friends at Be Motivated Today and my own little anecdote:
“With confidence, you can reach truly amazing heights; without confidence – even the simplest accomplishments are beyond your grasp.” – Jim Loehr
I can tell you from experience as an athlete that this is so true….
Yesterday I competed in a masters weightlifting contest. It was my first contest in 2 years and I was a little nervous about coming back to competition. But I also had confidence that I could do it. I was able to break the American Master record for my weightclass and age group. Actually every lift I made was a new record. I made 2 out of 3 snatches and 2 out of 3 clean & jerks and attempted more on my third attempt than I planned. I had enough confidence to make the lifts that I new I could do, but not quite enough confidence to make the ones that I wasn’t sure about. Continue reading

Monday Motivation: Past Experiences
Here’s an another inspiring message from Arnfried Klein-Warner of Be Motivated Today:
So often we see our past failures as the final authority for determining that our future is also doomed to failure. Yet millions have failed, tried again and then achieved. You too have had failures that you turned into successes.
Have you recently failed at anything? You can turn even this failure into success. Why should this one be any different?No, really, why should it?? You can learn more, do more, or do it differently. You can achieve it.
We all have achieved certain things in our lives. Academic achievements, sports achievements, career achievements. Yet often we forget them and don’t let them encourage us to do more or try again.
Your past accomplishments are proof that you can do more. Great things have already been achieved, and they indicate that you will still be able to do more in the future. You are older, smarter and wiser.
Failures simply indicate that either you still need to learn some things, or that you were not ready at the time.
Don’t judge your future by your past.
Affirmations:
My life is an adventure in achievement
I have done so much
I can do more
Be all you can be,
Joanne.
