Casual Articles - Investing In Tax Liens
Getting started as an online business entrepreneur can be a very rewarding experience; however, it can also be quite frustrating to some, especially when you can’t figure out who and what to market to. I see many newcomers to internet-based marketing make this one common mistake: They do an inventory search for a particular keyword or subject, discover that there were tens of thousands of searches last month on the subject, design a beautiful website, promote their product on it and then quit 30 days later when their product hasn’t made them a million dollars. They tell all of their friends and relatives how they got ripped off and lied to by some “guru” who told them they could make a fortune online, and how this must be one of those “SC

When you write a press release, what is your ultimate goal? No doubt, getting the information to as many publications and on as many Web sites as possible. The focus lies in moving outward… taking the press release to as many *other* sources as possible. We buy lists of journalists, pay public relations companies to distribute the release to thousands of targeted leads, use online press release distribution services, and create our own in-house list of reporters to touch base with. This isthe “standard” route that press release distribution takes.However, we generally don’t think about how these releases can work for us in other ways. For instance, have you considered the fact that adding your press releases to your own si
When we went to the local tax lien sale here in Fremont County Colorado, we were amazed that a little community like this could have so many investors wanting to buy tax liens. This is good for the county, but not for an investor.
Tax liens are handled a little differently in each state, but they are essentially the debt that a property owner owes for late taxes. Investors buy these, and to pay them off and so not lose their property, an owner must pay whatever fees and interest rate the law specifies. Here in Colorado, that is 15%. We liked the idea of a 15% return on our money.
Unfortunately, it wasn't as simple as that. While it is true that the property owner will pay 15% interest and the county will forward that money to you as the lien holder, you don't necessarily get to buy the lien at face value. It used to be that a few investors in any given county would more or less divvy up all these great little investments among themselves and that was that. However, now there are hundreds of people bidding on them, even in little county like this.

The goal of all sales training is not just to teach solid selling principles and techniques, but to actually help participants increase the number of new accounts (products and/or services) they sell and improve their multiple sales ratios. Unfortunately, many sales and service industry professionals gain an intellectual awareness of the methods of selling from the sales training they receive, yet fail to improve their bottom line sales results by systematically using the concepts in their daily transactions. See my article, The Processionary Caterpillar Syndrome Costs You Sales?There are a number of methods you can use to move beyond an intellectual awareness of sound sales techniques. By applying some of these ideas, you can begin t

In case you're asking. What the heck is this adsense thing and why are so many people talking about it? Ok, Adsense was created by google as a way to monetize webmasters for putting google ads on their website.As you know, google makes lots of money from their search engine. Everytime someone clicks on a google ads ,( sponsored ads ) an advertiser will have to pay google base on how much he bid to get his site seen by a potential customer.As an adsense publisher. You allow google to place ads on your site, so that when someone clicks on the ads. Google will share part of the earnings they get from the advertiser with you. Until now, no one knows exactly how much google split the share with its publisher but some sources say tha

Many organizations and businesses want media coverage of their activities, and at the same time many newsrooms are looking for local (or even national and international) topics to cover. If you're belong to an organization that wants coverage, you can increase the odds of getting it by following a few simple news release (or press release) conventions.First, you must have something new or different to say. As the name News implies, the media want information that's new or at least updated. At the same time, reporters and editors want information that's relevant to their readers; choose your media targets carefully, and tailor the content of the release to their audience).Second, your headline should be as interesting as a newsp
If, for example, the taxes due on a property are $1,000, the bidding starts there. But as we watched, most of these liens were bid up to about 10% over face value. The "premium" goes straight to the county, which is why they employ a professional auctioneer to get those bids up there. This means that if the owner pays his taxes in a year, the lien holder will get just $1,000 plus 15% or another $150: $1150 total. If he paid $1100, that extra $50 is an annual return of just 4.5%.
Wait, there is worse news! If the property owner pays his late taxes a month after the tax sale, the investor would get just $12.50 in interest. In other words, he would lose $87.50 because he paid a $100 premium, which the property owner doesn't have to repay. It seems that most of the investors thought the late payers wouldn't pay for a couple years (after three they lose the property), since a 10% premium was average.
Did we see any go for face value? Out of hundreds of liens auctioned, three or four went at face value. They were $30 or $40 tax liens on small properties.
I hear that there are "leftovers" in many counties. These are liens that didn't sell at the auction, and can be purchased at face value over the counter (if
