Where Are Your Tax Dollars Going?
In the United States, we pay a variety of
different types of taxes: sales taxes, real estate taxes, federal and
state income taxes, capital gains tax, Medicare tax, excise tax,
social security tax, estate tax, etc. Most of us pay them, whether we
agree with the system or not. While others attempt to devise plots to
evade the system, making them subject(Read More) |

We've all watched
that late night infomercial that promises us fast money and hefty
returns if we only try investing in tax lien certificates. Well, let
me save you the $99.95 and tell you the pros and cons of this type of
investment. With the enormous amount of inventory from foreclosures
and slow real estate sales, some consumers have decided to diversify
their real estate portfolios

If you ever wanted to meet a successful,
down to earth, compassionate investor, then Hal London would be the
guy. I came in contact with him while taking the appraisal course at
the Chicago Association of Realtors. In the class, I was impressed
with his level of knowledge and experience, and in person he did not
disappoint. I can honestly say that the time spent during the

The “Perfect Storm”-
when the housing market and the lending market crash at the same time.
I've always considered myself somewhat of a philosopher. Even my
projects are less about nails and studs and more about how you feel
when you walk into that room where those nails and studs might be.
Recently, I came back

In the break of a
failing economy, people are finding it more difficult to comfortably
financially support their families. Most people work hard day in and
day out, but many times their take home pay does not reflect their
efforts due in part to income tax deductions. Therefore, “income tax”
is a familiar word that we all have a tendency to associate with the
loss of our hard earned dollars. As a result, there are a growing
number of people in our society that oppose the income tax. According
to these opponents, the federal

Proper preparation is often the key
component to success. For three years, my partner and I worked
diligently in preparing for the day that we would become rehabbers,
for we marveled at the possibility of making our first million dollars
in fixer-uppers. Through proper preparation, we had been pre-approved
by two lending institutions. Our resources had been gathered and

There are so many ways to invest in real estate that it
is almost overwhelming to decide where to start. Maybe I should
wholesale, maybe I should short sale, maybe I should chase foreclosures,
maybe I should buy apartment buildings, maybe I should, maybe I should
and maybe I should.
The reason I started this article out with this is
because maybe’s don't make a person wealthy. Think back on your life and
how many times

During 2007, a big to-do was made with regard to all the
so-called foreclosure scams being perpetrated on unsuspecting
homeowners. Additionally, it seemed as if nearly anyone could go out and
buy property and receive tens of thousands of dollars back at the
closing table. During the summer of 2007, several lending companies,
appraisers, Realtors, and attorneys were actually arrested and charged
with fraud. Given (Read More) |

Picture this: it is late evening and I am lounging at a
rooftop bar sipping a martini after a full day of fun in the sun as I
now take in the amazing view of the sunset. I began the day awakened by
the soothing sounds of tropical birds. I enjoy a fabulous breakfast that
includes some of the most delicious fruits beyond my taste buds'
expectations surrounded by the sweet aromas of exotic flowers that
stimulated my every senses. I spend

“Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill is definitely one
of the best books I ever read. It is an excellent motivator that
defines the correlation between wealth creation/acquiring the desires of
your heart and one's mind. The book defines the principles and supports
them with real life examples of people that have used them.
