Often times the most successful people are the people who keep going, never give up, and are willing to do what it takes to accomplish their goals and dreams.

Many times they don't even have a clue how they are going to accomplish what they set out to do, they just know they are going to accomplish it...

This has to be you.

You must be willing to fall down, get back up, and keep going no matter what. The winner of any race is not always the fastest person, but the person who keeps running and doesn't give up.

Tax Liens 101

2009-08-05T14:44:00.000-07:00

Here's a quicky rundown in case you are new...

The first question most people usually ask is what are tax liens? When someone fails to pay their taxes on a piece of property, the local county government steps in and takes control of the property. They place a lien against the piece of property until the taxes are paid.

They then put it up for auction in order to get their money. The government doesn't want to own real estate, they want their taxes instead. That's how they function and that money has to come from someone.

This is where you come in. You then have the right to place a bid on the property in order to pay the back due taxes. If you get the bid, you get the right to make money from the property. The exact laws vary from one state to another, however, the basics usually work out like this.

You pay the back taxes, and the original owner is expected to pay you back for the back taxes plus a certain amount of interest on your investment. If they fail to pay, you then get the property free and clear and gain complete ownership of the property.

The government wants their money, that's all. The person who originally owned the property agreed to pay the taxes when they bought it. When they fail to pay, they default on their part of the agreement and give the local government the right to come in and take the property. When they do this, they place the property in their list of delinquent tax properties list and give other people the right to pay the back taxes and gain ownership of the property.

The beautiful part of tax liens is that very few people know anything about them. This means that you can literally pick up a few properties for a fraction of what one of those would normally cost at normal price. It isn't unheard of for someone to purchase 10 or more properties for less than $10,000.

Great Talk with a Foreclosure and bankruptcy lawyer...

2009-07-29T17:04:00.000-07:00

I know what your thinking, is there a such thing as a great talk with a BK lawyer???

Yes when you're shopping for screaming deals on houses!

She told Concetta and I that her colleagues all predict that there will be even MORE forclosures in 2010!

That means the bottom is still quite a ways in the distance.

This affects us in two ways-

1) Folks definately are not paying their taxes, so it will lead to even higher chances of you picking up a property from a tax lien investment. Some areas are as high as 90%.

That means that if you buy 10 tax liens for an average price of $200 a piece, you'll end up owning 9 of those houses!

9 house for $1800...do you think you can make a life changing profit off of that deal???

2) Buying homes out-right will lend itself to an all time profit margin for investor and the chance at a bargin dream home for everybody else.

You'll be able to buy the home of your dreams for between 70-40% of it value just 3 years ago.

A million dollar house for $400,000...that is what dreams are made of!

3 Simple Steps For Using Tax Liens To Get Investment Property And Build Your Fortune Part 3...

2009-07-27T10:29:00.000-07:00

The third step is to sell the investment property, or put in place some method for making money off of your initial financial investment if you get the piece of land.

This might mean selling the property as many people do. If you spend even as much as $1,000 to purchase a piece of land, and sell it for $30,000, it's not hard to see how this can very quickly grow into a very significant amount of cash in your pocket.
The other way is to rent out the piece of land if it has a house on it.

This can very quickly turn into a few hundred dollars a month worth of income. For most people, it would only take four or five of these rentals to replace their current income from a job and allow them to quit and turn real estate into their full time income.

Tax liens can allow you to very quickly acquire your first investment property and get started toward building a significant financial empire of your own.

With the right education, and the drive to take the steps, it's more than possible for you to make several hundred thousand dollars your very first year and be able to completely quit your job.

It only gets better from there as you begin to have equity you can use as money when you keep some of the properties for yourself. The sky is the limit, and the sky is as high as you want it to be.

Finally a smart place to put your money!

2009-07-22T12:46:00.000-07:00

The second step is to get in touch with your local county courthouse to find out what is available and up for auction. They will usually have a list that you can choose from to bid on in order to acquire your first investment property. Once you place a bid and win, which usually takes less than 6 months, you sit back and wait for your return on investment, or the deed to the place you bid on.

You will either get all of your money, plus interest back, or you will get the property you bid on. It's really this simple.

The third step is to sell the investment property, or put in place some method for making money off of your initial financial investment if you get the piece of land. This might mean selling the property as many people do.

If you spend even as much as $1,000 to purchase a piece of land, and sell it for $30,000, it's not hard to see how this can very quickly grow into a very significant amount of cash in your pocket.

3 Simple Steps For Using Tax Liens To Get Investment Property And Build Your Fortune Part 1...

2009-07-19T10:08:00.000-07:00

One of the easiest, cheapest, and most profitable methods for acquiring investment property is to use tax liens.

Tax liens are a very simple method that will allow you to start building a portfolio of investment property for literally pennies on the dollar. Here are 3 simple steps for using tax liens to purchase your first investment property for very little money up front.

The first step is to understand what tax liens are, how they work, and why the government even has such a system in place. When someone purchases a house or land or anything else of the sort, they agree to pay a certain amount of taxes to the government every year.

When they fail to pay, the government places a lien against the place until they get their money. This has to come out of someones pocket, so the government has created a reward program for people like you and me in order to get the money they are owed.
When you pay the back due amount, the original owner is expected to pay you the money you invested, plus interest.

When they fail, you then get full rights to the place completely free and clear. This usually means you can acquire a property worth hundreds of thousands of dollars for a little as a few hundred to a few thousand dollars.

3 Reasons That Tax Liens Are The Best Form Of Real Estate Investing-Part 3...

2009-07-14T09:06:00.000-07:00

The second reason that tax liens are the best form of real estate investing is that the competition is usually very, very small. Very few people know about the power of tax liens, and even fewer people know they exist.

This means that you can usually get involved very easily without having to worry about being outbid or other sharks in the market taking a property out from under you. This makes it extremely easy, and valuable for anyone who wants to get started in real estate investing. Especially if you don't have a lot of money to get started.

The third reason this is such a powerful investment tool is that the government wants you to purchase these properties. The government is not in the real estate business, so properties sitting around that no one is paying on is a thorn in their side. They want the taxes for the property, not the property itself.

If you are able to pay the taxes, the government wins. You make money, they make money, and everyone involved wins.

Tax liens are by far one of the easiest ways to get started in real estate investing because it allows you to purchase properties for literally pennies on the dollar.

There is no other way to purchase a property worth thousands upon thousands of dollars for as little as $100. It's easy, simple, and involves the least amount of risk possible when it comes to real estate.

The number 1 question is safety...

2009-07-09T08:07:00.000-07:00

The biggest fear I see from "new" real estate investors is that they will lose everything.

This is completely based on fear, and that fear comes from the fact that you have worked hard to get to where you are and don't want to lose any of it.

I can certainly understand this fear, and you are justified in feeling it. However, the reality of life is that nothing is certain and constant, and you stand a chance of losing everything any way.

We tend to believe that our job is safe and sound. The reality, and I have seen this time and time again, is that the place you work for could close it's doors next week. I have seen various people have a “safe and sound” job only to come into work and find out that the place was shutting down in a few weeks.

I have even seen some places that didn't even tell their employees. People showed up for work only to find the doors locked with no idea why or that the place shut down for good. This is even worse. The reality of life is that nothing is for sure, ever, and anything can happen. You could lose your job tomorrow and completely lose everything you own in a few weeks.

The Up and Downsides...Please read this one!

2009-07-07T09:59:00.000-07:00

A popular myth is that owning, buying, renting, and selling real estate is horrible. The problem is that we often get this advice from people who have never owned a property, never invested in real estate, and never will.

You wouldn't go to your local barber and have him do brain surgery on you now would you? Of course not! So why do you listen to those people around you who have never invested in real estate. It's silly.

They have no idea what owning real estate is like, so they have no right or expertise to tell you about it. The truth is that your job has it's share of problems and headaches, now doesn't it? So why not take a chance with something that will pay you more than your job by doing less?

Yes, there is a chance of toilets breaking, pipes, exploding, or any other number of things, but what are the chances of this really happening? How often do you need to repair anything in your own home?

Things happen, but not every single day. Once or twice a year you have to repair or replace something, it's the reality of stuff. Things break down and get old, but the horror stories simply aren't true. You won't have to run out every night in the middle of the night to repair or replace something.

Is there a chance of not selling your house as easily or quickly as you want? Of course there is, but with the right education and plan, this isn't a problem for you. It's just part of doing business and when you plan properly for this, you are able to very quickly and easily work around this problem.

Is there a chance that, if you rent properties out, that you will get a tenant who is a headache and problem? Absolutely there is! Chances are you work with people like this every single day. But if you screen your tenants properly, and understand how to deal with these type of people, this too can very easily be overcome with out it being a headache or a problem.

You just need to make sure you are smart about how you do things, get the right education, and plan properly and all of these “horror stories” can very easily be dealt with and overcome.

It's really no where near as bad as all of those “expert investors” who never invested in real estate would have you believe.

Big News on the Horizon...

2009-07-03T18:21:00.000-07:00

We are in the midst of forming a partner ship with the most powerful Tax Lien List Company in the world...

More about that in a few weeks!

So let's talk about why you should learn to invest in real estate.
First of all, there is a reason that all of the wealthy people in the world put their money into real estate.

It's one of the safest investments available for many reasons. The first reason is that real estate, even if it slumps a little bit, is known for constantly increasing in value. Unlike stocks, which go up and down daily, real estate usually experiences a steady rate of growth over time. This means that the money you do invest will increase in value over time.

The second reason is that real estate offers the best tax breaks and incentives available. More than anything else, you get to give uncle sam less of your money when you invest in real estate. The government wants to make sure everyone has a place to live, so they have intentionally created tax shelters in real estate to make sure this happens.

The third reason is that you can make money without money in real estate, and your return is often times much larger than any other investment vehicle. You cannot spend $1,000 in stocks and turn that into $100,000 in a few weeks. It just doesn't work that way.

Also, in real estate you simply need to know what you are doing. In stocks and other investments, you need to know people in order to make money without money. Most of the time you need money, and lot's of it.

There is a reason they say that you need $1,000,000 to make $3,000,000 in stocks. They don't say that about real estate.

To put things simply, the right education and plan will produce $100,000's in returns for you in real estate.

There is no other opportunity available that will allow you to make the returns possible in real estate without knowing the right people, and without having thousands to invest from the beginning. It's the safest, easiest way for anyone, no matter where they are right now financially, to make money time and time again, and keep that money coming in over long periods of time.

Why You Should Be Investing In Tax Liens – Understanding Tax Liens, How They Work And Why

If you invest in real estate...

2009-06-17T13:55:00.001-07:00

...the risk is that you get in over your head and can't afford the property. It goes into foreclosure and you put a dent in your credit, if you use credit to purchase. There are very effective ways to invest that you don't even use your credit which are much smarter ways of investing, but let's just say you use your credit. So you mess up your credit a little bit and need to work to improve it again. Granted, not the best thing to happen, but not the end of the world by any means.

What is the reward? The rewards far outweigh the risk in my opinion. Something horrible like making so much money you can quit your job could happen. That would be terrible now wouldn't it. You also risk making so much money that you can go on vacation 3 or 4 times a year, or even worse, purchase a brand new home and car. Not only that, you could easily put back more than enough money for you children or grand children to go to college.

A walk in the park...

2009-06-15T09:55:00.001-07:00

Investing in real estate, like walking across the street, has risk, but with the right planning and education, you can avoid making risky investments.

The difference is that many people jump into things without the right education, and without a plan, and that is where things get risky. If you learn to swim, practice swimming, and put the effort into it, you still risk drowning.

However, learning to swim, and making sure you don't swim some where that is above your capabilities, you remove all chances of it being risky. Jumping into the ocean with no life preserver and without being able to swim is risky.

Myth Busters-Real Estate Style...Part Two!

2009-06-11T17:47:00.000-07:00

The second myth is that there is risk in buying real estate.

Everything has risk, but it doesn't mean that it has to be risky. There is a difference between risk and risky. Driving a car has risk. You risk getting in a terrible accident and dying. But if you take your time, pay attention, and drive carefully, driving isn't risky.

The same is true for real estate. There is risk, but if you get the right education, pay attention to what you are doing, and do the work properly, it doesn't have to be risky. There is always the risk of not being able to rent or sell the properly in the time line you want to do so, however, when you do it properly and buy the right properties, you are able to plan for this possibility and remove the chances of your investment being risky.

Reality in Real estate???

2009-05-14T21:57:00.000-07:00

The reality of investing in real estate is actually much, much different than any of these reasons, and you need to learn the truth about all of it. So let's look at these myths and start working toward the truth.

The first reason is that it takes a lot of money to make money in real estate. You have most likely heard of or seen those programs that claim that you can make money without any money. But is there any truth to this whole thing, or are they just trying to make money from you?

The truth is that it does take money to make money. I won't lie, you do need money to make money in real estate. But before you go running off and chearing that you were right, you need to understand that this investment is usually less than a $100, not in the thousands like you often believe it is.

You will need an internet connection, and a few dollars for advertising or other various expenses, but you don't need thousands of dollars for a down payment, thousands more for closing costs, or anything else that you think you need money for.

More than money, you need to be willing to do it, you need to be willing to do the work, and you need to know how to do it. Knowledge is the most valuable tool any person can have, and once you have the right education, you won't need money to make money. You will need discipline and drive more than you need money.

How To Buy And Sell Homes Easily Using Your Laptop Or PC – Make $100,000 Without Laving Your Home
We all know that there is money in real estate, and if you are like the rest of you, you would love to know how to put some of that money in your own pocket and bank account. There are five main reasons that most of us never learn how to buy and sell homes or invest in real estate.
1. We think that it takes a lot of money to make money in real estate. Since we don't have the money, we never try to purchase any real estate.
2. We believe that there is a lot of risk in buying real estate. After all, what if we can't sell it, rent it, or what ever it takes to make money with the property.
3. We believe that you have to be extremely intelligent in order to make money with real estate. We know we are intelligent, but we doubt that we are intelligent enough to make money with real estate.
4. We hear the horror stories related to rental properties. We don't want to have to go to a house in the middle of the night to fix a broken toilet. On top of that, if you are like most of us, you don't know how to fix most of the things in a house that could go wrong. Not to mention trying to collect rent, what a problem that can be.
5. We are terrified of the possibility of our experience being a bad one and losing our tails. Fankly, this is the biggest reason you won't even try and get started. You fear failing and losing what you do have.
