MS Tax Lien Help
19 October 2012 | 0 replies
I've learned quite a lot from the experienced posters on this site.Hopefully I can get some advice on a situation I'm facing.I bought several tax liens in my home state of MS 2 years ago.I'm very happy with the returns, but I have one left that did not redeem.It was a homestead property when I purchased the lien, but now it has "estate" listed on the property, and the taxes are now about double what I paid for the lien.So I'm assuming the owner passed away in the last 2 years.August 30 was the final date for redemption, and I have filed to get a tax deed.My state is known to be lenient in favor of the property owner, and tough on the invester, so I do not expect to acquire the property.However, I have no experience in this aspect of the deal, therefore really don't know what to expect.As it is a relatively small lien, I'd like to avoid the expense of a lawyer if possible, as I'm not sure that money can/would be recouped.One avenue I have considered is to contact the owner when I have the deed, and offer a quit-claim settlement for my interest in the property.I'm interested in your thoughts on this solution, and any other ways to bring this matter to a close.The original lien was for $600.

Having the right skills and knowledge give you opportunities those without the skills won't see or be able to take advantage of when they come along.One of Gladwell's examples is Jewish lawyers in New York in the 50's (I may have my date wrong, my copy is at work.)

They are very helpfulMake sure when you do these loans you use a title company/lawyer to make sure all t's are crossed etc. and get it recorded to protect yourself.I've been involved in many of these loans make sure everything is written down and notes and deeds are recorded.This is just my opinion and past expereince.

should the city pay for the the main water pipe going into the house?
22 October 2012 | 8 replies
The reason I’m asking is there is an authority regulation utility that you need to get in contact with and file a complaint.It would also be time to get a complete copy of the water departments agreement and read it inside and out or find a lawyer that has already fought them over a close issue.With a chain saw, air shovel, and some good clippers I'm sure I could get to it in a few hours of work.

Investors looking for cash flow properties?

Hence they will effectively outbid the investors who focus on cash flow as the determiner of value.If investors want to invest in such areas cash flow is not a good measure.

Knowing what is important and then how to operate the LLC correctly could be a completely different matter.Either pay for a lawyer or pay for training materials so you operate correctly.The value of the LLC is not from having one established.

You can also set a thread to be one you are interested in or set other threads to ignore.The effect on the MF site is I can focus on threads that I have determined are of interest and I can see if someone is posting a reply to a specific comment I made.
