Annually, hundreds of thousands of property owners do not pay their Real Estate property taxes on time. Because of these delinquencies, 18 states have enacted laws allowing the Counties to foreclose on tax delinquent property. The property lien is sold at a Tax Lien Auction. The investor pays the delinquent tax and assumes certain rights on the property. For as little as 5-10% of the true market value of a property, you can foreclose and assume ownership.
Right #1: the right to collect a (usually high) interest rate: In many states these interest rates are 16% and higher and (in Illinois they are 18% per half a year for a total of 36% per year). Usually the rates are between 12% and 36% with some exceptions where instead of a rate which is prorated if the owner redeems (= pays off the taxes), the state allows for a Penalty, meaning the property owner has to pay a fixed percentage no matter if they redeem the property in 1 day or 11 months and 30 days.
Right 2: The Right to Foreclose on the property: Once the investor pays the outstanding property taxes to the county, a lien is being placed against this property to make sure the Investor gets paid back his investment plus interest when the property is sold. However if the property is not sold or the owner does not redeem the Tax lien Prior to a Tax Lien Redemption period, the Lien Holder has the right to foreclose on this property. Redemption periods very from state to state but usually range between 3 and 5 years.
Foreclosure periods can vary by state. In some cases the State does the foreclosure for the investor. In others, the investor must initiate foreclosure proceedings at the end of the redemption period. In most states, the Tax lien supersedes most other liens including Bank Mortgages and Mechanics liens. The only exceptions are Federal and State IRS liens. There are few other precedent liens, thus a Tax Lien Foreclosure usually leads to a free and clear title to the property.
You, as the investor, may be able to procure the subsequent year’s lien on property you already hold a lien upon. This third right allows for the non-competitive procurement of the lien for future delinquencies. You may also be allows to procure the year’s lien many months before the normal tax lien auctions are held.
As a result, Tax Liens are a very safe investment which in the worst case results in the investor making an EXCELLENT return on his/her investment and in the best case results in the investor making getting the actual real Property worth up to 20 times the amount the investor paid in property taxes.
Example (assuming the property owner does not redeem the tax lien and the Redemption period is 3 years): Property value: $100,000. Annual Property Taxes (including some fees and Penalties): $1,500. In this example: The Investor Pays to the county: - In year 1: $1,500.00 in exchange for a TLC for that amount. - In year 2: $1,500.00 in exchange for a TLC for that amount. - In year 3: $1,500.00 in exchange for a TLC for that amount. After year three is over, the investor forecloses on the property which costs him another $1,000. Total investment made: $5,500 and the value of the property is $100,000.00.
Now the choice is yours. You can sell the property, move in if it is a residence or other suitable structure, build upon it is it is vacant land or hold it for future investment.

Wholesaling houses in Jackson Ms is what I Do and have been doing for a long time and I have to say right now there are super deals in Jackson, Mississippi.
If you live in the area I can easily help you find the properties you are looking for. I have a stellar reputation in business. One must have a phenomenal reputation when doing business or you will watch your business go down in flames. By being a good business person, your name will get you jobs by word of mouth, clients, and more.
One of the things I do different than other investors is I don’t try to make a ton of money each one. A lot of investors try to make fifteen to twenty thousand a deal. I buy cheap and sell cheap to pass that onto the investor. I try to do volume. That style of business has made me move up to eighteen properties this year to buy and sell. As I said, the majority of investors try to make a bunch of cash on each one.
I also will rehab the properties for an investor who does not have the experience or contacts to rehab properties. My mother is my partner and one of the best rehabs in the business and she runs our crew. The best thing about it is when I say it is going to cost a certain amount then no matter what I stick to that number even if I make a mistake and have to take a loss. How many people do you know that will do that. Not many.
One time I even had a bad experience where the contractor didn’t do the job right. I had to go back in there and fix it. That all came out of my pocket. With the money I would have made on the house, I didn’t make as I kept my word on the cost it’d take to rehab. Not one penny profit. My word is worth more to me to the investor than making money. I do what I say I’m going to do. I am a man of my word. A man of my integrity.
I will do whatever it takes to keep my customers happy.
Wholesale houses in Jackson, Mississippi is my specialty. I can give you some very good market knowledge here since I have owned houses here for several years and have been wholesaling for a long time. I also have built up my own portfolio of properties. Unlike some other investors I actually am buying everything I can keep because I know that this is the time to buy. I just can’t buy them all and my wholesaling business produces the cash for me to buy more.

Wholesaling Great investment Real estate in Jackson Ms is what I do best and if you are looking for a state that has some great properties you need not look any further.
If you are a local investor here in Jackson you probably no me but if you don’t you need to know me. I have a awesome reputation for customer service, just ask around. In Real estate your reputation is absolutely everything and if you want to be successful in investing in real estate especially wholesaling where you have to deal with many clients and turn alot more deals than normal it is everything
The major difference in working with a wholesaler that truly makes his living off of selling volume and dealing with most investors that make home runs (to much money) is their prices. The best wholesaler in the town will have the lowest prices and therefore move the most properties. Like me.
We will also rehab properties for investors who do not have rehab experience or lack the contacts to get the rehab done. My business is a family business and my mother runs the rehab crew. She could give all those TV guys a run for the money.
One time I even had a bad experience where the contractor didn’t do the job right. I had to go back in there and fix it. That all came out of my pocket. With the money I would have made on the house, I didn’t make as I kept my word on the cost it’d take to rehab. Not one penny profit. My word is worth more to me to the investor than making money. I do what I say I’m going to do. I am a man of my word. A man of my integrity.
In doing so, I was repaid by the investors being very happy and bought another property from me. I will not spoil a relationship with a customer/investor.
If you want Jackson ms wholesale properties then I am your man. That is what I specialize in and have worked hard to build relationships and build a network that allows me to pick up deals cheaper than anyone else and also sale deals cheaper than anyone else.

Millennial are member of the generation of children who were born between the years 1977 and 1994. According to 2000 Census Data, there are over 84 million Millennial in the population, making up one quarter of the US population. Within the next 20 years, they are poised to make up the bulk of the overall US population. They are a diverse group with 1 in 3 non-Caucasian and 1 in 4 from a single parent home.
Millennial purchase homes because of their desire to own a home and establish a household, but are less emotionally tied to a house. National studies from 2007, indicate that three quarters of the home buyers were between 18 and 24 years old, falling into this group. They are just waiting for the market to stabilize to move on into their house purchases.
The competition is only a click away - this is the new concept that you must understand. Millennial are computer savvy, knowing that more information is available with just a mouse click. They want to work collaboratively to reach their goal of home ownership.
These new buyers are technology “expert users” and want contact any time of day or night via texting, IMing, blogging, or email. Instant messaging is their preferred form of communication, with 68% or more opting for cell phone texting. For the real estate agents and investors, this means you will need to be part of a team, ready to provide easy to access information for this new plugged in buyer.
Home buying will change to a new level of “real time” processing and decision making. Home buyers will have all of their facts available online and will make the home buying decision swiftly after they are well informed. They will not be driven to many houses until they select the house they desire most, cutting days off the selection process.
Your Social networking skills become very important. Social networking is ultimately about conversations. Blogging, podcasting, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, My Space, FriendFeed, ActiveRain, are some of many tools focused on facilitating conversations.
Social networking is reaching astonishing levels of participation. Some web site examples: ActiveRain - This is the hotspot for real estate professionals to learn from each other. LinkedIn - 25 million experienced professionals, a marriage of an interactive resume and your address book, promoting yourself, your properties, or reviewing others. Facebook - 100 million active subscribers with 30 million photos uploaded daily. The numbers are staggering and speak for themselves. Social networking is important!
As the market heats up, the “boomers” will have to figure out the new rules, technology, and capabilities employed by the Millennial if they wish to sell house more quickly and with less emotion in a changing market.

Life insurance provides a benefit in the form of it policy amount to protect against the loss that arises from premature death. It is based on the insurable interest, or the potential that a direct financial hardship will occur due to the death of the insured. The insured is the individual whose life the death benefit is based on and upon whom we rate the risk.
The variables or factors used to determine Life Insurance rates are based on the habits of the individual. A risk is the potential for loss or a reduction in value. The loss of life produces a financial hardship for those left behind and can be assigned a value. Loss is the reduction in value that in life insurance can be loss of future earning potential or expenses incurred for funeral, bereavement, readjustment and moving forward.
The extent to which a reduction in value may occur is the loss exposure. This loss exposure is enhanced by perils that are situations, which cause loss, affected by these hazards:
- Physical hazard, which is some physical characteristic in the environment that presents a peril (i.e. a banana peel on the ground in front of where you are walking); - Moral hazard that is based on an individual characteristic such as dishonesty, theft and fraud; and, - Morale hazard, which is blatant disregard for the law such as driving under the influence of alcohol or driving over the posted speed limit.
The extent to which a person manages risk influences their rates. For example, smoking can be considered a morale hazard because we know that cigarette smoking is a major contributor to lung cancer. Knowing this and still engaging in the habit means that the person understands the risk but does not care. Since we also know that cigarette smokers die sooner than non-smokers, smokers pay higher insurance premiums for life insurance than do non-smokers.
Another factor that is considered when rating life insurance is the person’s health. This is a valid risk factor because we know that people who exercise are healthier than those who do not exercise and people who make healthier eating choices live longer than those who eat junk food. These are those morale and physical hazards that are measured by the insurance company and priced, based on the probability of it occurring. The more likely an event occurs, the higher the cost to insure.
Insurance companies are not in the business of paying claims. This statement may seem profound but it is a rational one. It benefits insurers and society as a whole if people live long healthy lives. This helps lowers insurance costs and make it easier to afford. The insurer looks at the rate of death or mortality potential within a classification, such as all 35 year-old males. This is based on the law of large numbers and risk pooling. In order for an insurable risk to be ideal, it must be measurable, produce a financial loss, which is indemnity, be accidental in nature (which is why suicide is excluded), and based on a large group. Lower probabilities occur in larger population groups, such as those ages 25 to 45 and higher probabilities in smaller older populations, age 65 to 85.

Whether you are thinking about buying a car and trying to decide if the cost of a new car is worthwhile or are wondering how much money you should put into repairing your older vehicle, learning the average lifespan of a vehicle can help you with your decision. Of course, averages are not always accurate, and you may find that your car lives much longer or much shorter than the average, but an average can help you make an educated choice.
The Official Average According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, vehicles tend to last just over 13 years. Mileage also plays a role in how long a car, truck, or van will last, and the average final mileage for a vehicle is 145,000 miles. Half of all of the vehicles on the road today are 8 years old or older, with a third of them being at least 10 years old.
Thoughts for Buying Cars If you are in the market for another vehicle, the decision about buying new or used is sometimes difficult. Of course, your budget may dictate that you shop for a used car, and used cars depreciate much less quickly than new ones, but you will probably get a longer lifespan out of a new vehicle. New vehicles come with warranties, which make maintenance and repair early in the vehicle’s life convenient. Also, you will not be buying someone else’s “problem” when you buy a new car. If there is a mechanical problem or recall on the car, it will probably be covered in the warranty.
Buying a used car does mean you can end up buying someone else’s problem. On the other hand, if the used car is less than 8 years old, you have a pretty good indication that it will last a while, based on national averages. You will also be able to afford more “extras” in a used car than in a new car for the same amount of money, provided you have enough for a new car to begin with.
Dealing with an Existing Vehicle If you have an older car that is in need of some serious repair, such as a transmission job or a complete engine overhaul, understanding the lifespan of a vehicle will help you decide whether or not to put the money into the vehicle that is necessary for the repair. If the vehicle is almost 13 years old or has close to 145,000 miles, it is probably nearing its end. If you put a few thousand of dollars into a repair, and the vehicle only lasts a few more months or even another year, you will be in bad shape.
Instead, consider junking the car. The working used car parts, body, and even tires in some cases, can be salvaged and sold by the junkyard, and you can get some of that money upfront. You can use that money and the money you would have spent on repairs for a down payment on a more reliable used vehicle or even a new vehicle. Before you put money into the repairs, call the junkyard to see how much you can get, and consider using that money to purchase a better vehicle.

Trying to write your own resume is the equivalent of opening a can of worms, or perhaps like trying to operate a 40 foot tractor-trailer on a busy freeway without proper training. Choosing a good resume service with a gifted wordsmith will save you the anguish and remorse of spending countless hours struggling to recap your work experience, only to encounter a deadly silence as your phone consistently refuses to ring for weeks upon end after distributing the fruits of your labor. On the other hand, choosing a poor resume service will do nothing less than destroy your faith in mankind, and of course, waste your precious dollars.
Having examined several thousands of resumes in my life, I have come to the unpleasant conclusion that a high percentage of self-written resumes constitute nothing more than boring lists of unrelated background information. Typically, resumes which are not prepared by a quality resume service put the reader to sleep, confuse him about the candidates true potentials, and give the reader a headache.
It is no fun reading a poorly written resume. A personnel director, whether reading in the office or after hours at home as is often the case, tends to dread this task. An experienced resume service will take pity on the reader by producing a high-quality product.
It is the job of a resume service to tactfully inject exciting, intriguing and inspiring vocabulary to help the candidate really stand out in the pack. Considering that typically an employer will initially spend perhaps 30 seconds scanning your resume for interesting content, it is obvious therefore that every word counts.
There are no second opportunities to create a first impression in life. A well-written resume from an expert resume service will go a long way in supporting your job hunting effort and minimize your frustration.
The holy grail of resume writing is to help the client land his dream job. Not only are basic grammatical skills required of a competent resume service, but a certain creative flair with words.
The ultimate test of a successfully written resume is whether or not the reviewer is inspired to actually invite the candidate in for an interview. It is certainly easy to send out resumes which generate only a huge postage bill. But we are not working for the post office. We don’t care about stamps, but job offers.
Although there are legitimate professional resume writing services, the client would do well to place more weight upon practical results than on academic resume writing credentials. Indeed, there are certainly numerous skilled resume writers with a natural gift for words yet few degrees on the wall.
Another helpful way to gauge the quality of a resume service is the testimonials posted on the firm’s website. If they seem credible and enthusiastic, this is a good indication of skilled writers.
A resume service is useful to you not only by virtue of the volume of productive resumes it has written over the years, but moreover in its time-saving systems to help you identify specific information which is relevant and timely to incorporate into the writing itself. A talented resume service writer will know how to conduct an interview, ask the right questions, and make you, the candidate, feel totally at ease in providing honest answers about your background, talents, and dreams. It is well worth your money, and you will sleep well at night having spent it wisely.

Employer’s liability insurance comes in three different types. There is general liability, property insurance and worker’s compensation insurance.
General Liability If you have a policy for general comprehensive liability insurance, it covers you against anyone physically injury themselves or causing damage to property while on your business site.
This type of coverage is often purchased in company with property insurance (see below) for a more complete protection against any type of accident at the place where you usually operate your business or carry out business functions.
Professional Liability For some business such as retail or food services, comprehensive liability coverage is likely enough. However, professional liability coverage is vital for many, including engineers, consultants, medical professionals and accountants.
Professional liability coverage protects a professional against claims of negligence or incompetence.
Sometimes this type of insurances is called ‘errors and omissions’ coverage, since it protects a businessperson in the case of a mistake or incompetence in carrying out his or her professional duties.
This type of coverage is vital for a professional. Claims for negligence or other omissions can be much larger than general liability claims, as evidenced by medial malpractice suits.
Property Insurance Just as a homeowner must have basic property insurance, so too must a business. This kind of coverage is usually very straightforward.
With property insurance, your business is protected against theft or accident or any other loss of your business property. This coverage is in effect even if the equipment is not at your place of business when it is lost, damaged, or stolen.
Again, property insurance is similar to homeowners in that it covers in the case of fire or other disaster. You need to read your policy carefully to determine if it covers any flooding. That type of disaster is often excluded from coverage, as is water damage from sewer backup. Know your policy and add a rider if you think it is important to do so.
Usually property insurance is packaged with general liability insurance in a single package at a basic rate.
Worker’s Compensation Insurance Worker’s compensation insurance is an employer’s liability insurance that provides coverage for medical or disability claims by employees.
If an employee has an accident or a job related illness, they will file a claim under worker’s compensation.
Each state mandates that businesses with even one employee provide this coverage, and most have pools to help small businesses cope with the expense. It can be expensive to own a policy, particularly if a former employee or employee has a claim.
The amount of a company’s premium is based on a formula calculation. The formula takes into account the services offered by your company and the payroll each pay period.
Requirements vary for each state regarding how much you need to pay into the fund. Make the assumption that you will need to pay for each employee in your business, even though there are times that you as the owner and members of your family are exempted from workers comp insurance.
Depending on your state, you may be able to shop around for the best rates and service.

If you are working on restoring a classic car, finding parts can be a challenge. Depending on the vintage and popularity of the model you own, parts may or may not be available through the original manufacturer. If they are, the manufacturer will charge a premium price, because there is less demand for those parts then there would be for parts for newer models. If you cannot get parts from the dealership or original manufacturer, you are going to have to get creative. Here are some options for you to consider.
Shop with Other Enthusiasts If you can join a classic car enthusiast club or website or simply network with other enthusiasts in your area, you may be able to find some contact information for parts suppliers that deal with used classic car auto parts. Some of the enthusiasts themselves may have parts they no longer need or cars they are willing to take parts from to sell. Of course, there is no guarantee that you will find parts in this way, but it is worth a try.
Go Online Another option to consider is shopping online. You can find many classic car parts on eBay and online classifieds websites. Shopping online opens the entire world to your disposal, so if you are searching for a very rare part, you have a greater chance of finding it. Keep in mind, however, that many stores and websites are geared toward American shoppers, so you might have to pay extra for shipping when shopping from Canada. Always watch the shipping fees before you commit to making a purchase, because these can greatly affect how much of a bargain or value you are getting for your money.
Also, keep in mind that you will not have the chance to see the parts before you buy. Make sure the online listing has very detailed photos. Even with pictures, though, you still run the risk of ending up with a rusty part, because the photographer can conveniently forget to show a side of the part that contains rust damage.
Head to the Junk Yard Another option is to visit a junkyard. Junkyards deal with cars of all years, makes, and models, and they salvage every part possible from the cars they get. Because most of the cars they take in are older, you have a high likelihood of finding something to fit your classic car.
Most junkyard owners are experts in car parts, simply because of the nature of their work. You can ask the junkyard owner to keep his eyes open for a particular part that you need.
Some junkyards even list their inventory online, giving you the chance to see what they have from the comfort of your home. If you do not live near the junkyard, you can order over the phone or Internet if they have what you need. Shopping for parts for your classic car can be like a treasure hunt. You have to be creative and the search can be a challenge, but with these resources you are sure to find what you need.
