Making big profits Flipping Florida Land

Thu, 28 Jan 2010 14:34:02 -0500

Background

Until 2003, I worked as a delivery driver for Papa John's in downtown West Palm Beach, Florida. For two years I have surfed level, who live in homes of friends, crashing on their couch, in exchange for washing dishes, cleaning, or help at home. Why? I wanted to save money and save money, I need a way out of paying the rent. Basically, I am a boy or a concierge.

Believe it or not, the experience was memorable and fun. Meanwhile, I completed two newspapers - "The Insanity Defense" and "Gravity (The Seduction of the equator). One day I hope to publish them. The last place I stayed was cooking David Knight, a separate building with a sink, refrigerator , table, shower, toilet. It 'was at the time of the hurricane season in Florida and a few hurricanes hit the area very difficult. As it was a gourmet, asked that I bring you coconuts home, as were all in street after the hurricane. In particular, he asked two coconuts a day. While driving around at night pizza delivery, when I saw felled trees, coconut or coconut, I would like to launch and park at the back of my Honda Civic. I bought a machete to Nice for 10-15 dollars, and having brought home and put them in his refrigerator, cut open the next day. For breakfast we had fresh coconut milk. It was cool.

While I was working at Papa John's, I kept an eye for fixer-upper homes. Every time I saw them, I found the address on the site evaluator's property, the owner of the track, send a letter and make a bid. Or was already under contract by an investor or in litigation limbo so my attempts were unsuccesssful. Oh well. At least I tried.

Change life

In 2003, tired of pizza delivery and a bit 'scared by some bad experiences at work (being assaulted, robbed, who threw stones at the car), I stopped. I save $ 12,000. Knowing that I needed more money, I

withdraw all of my mutual funds, which added $ $ 30,000 for the pot. Combined, I had a total of $ 42,000 dollars.

I was hoping to use that money to buy a fixer upper house in West Palm Beach, Florida. At that time, however, the real estate market was hot - house prices were rising. Even houses fixer above were sold for $ 200,000.

Taking my research online I came across an ad for 9 acres, with a trailer, and a spring in the back for $ 54,900. A few days later I drove to the Old Town, Florida, met the owner, and put a down payment of $ 20,000 on the ground, as

pay $ 270 a month for five years (60 payments) and a lump sum of $ 25,000. (A balloon payment is a final payment of the loan, which is significantly higher than that of periodic payments to repay a loan.) After paying for the trailer, I had $ 22,000 dollars. I fixed the trailer and lived. The cost of paint and tools amounted to several thousand dollars, leaving me with $ 20,000.

Small town, a small salary

As it was a small town, the only job that seemed to be Georgia-Pacific, a company of timber just outside the city, and Hardees. Looking in the local newspaper, I saw an ad for the act on sales. I visited the office of the secretary of the county and the questions asked. Many questions. I visited the office of assessor of property in the same building and questions. I started

attending sales and auctions on land, using the remaining $ 20,000 and was left.

(At this point, you might say, "It 'been easy for her. You had $ 20,000 dollars." To begin with, it is not easy when you start to do this and you have no experience. Money makes you be very much. Anyone can learn to

deal with an investment of $ 2000 dollars.)

Offers the world

Offers throughout the world and I was short of money, the purchase of property. But now, I need income. I contacted friends and relatives and three people responded, agreeing to pay me a monthly salary and a percentage, once sold a

property, if I find them a deed for a good price.

For a year I lived in the old town, attend the sales tax act. I attended the sales taking place in other counties - Gilchrist, Levy, Madison and Jefferson. Once I owned the land, I want to sell. My first big sale made a profit of about $ 17,000 dollars. I remember running about 9 hectares, jumping up and down and praise God for financial blessings. Meanwhile, I have worked for me, and who live in northern Florida, between the friendly people and beautiful surroundings - springs, rivers, lots of trees - has proved cathartic in many ways.

Finally, I returned to West Palm Beach, and continued to attend the sales in neighboring counties. Looking up all the counties, I decided to take a numbered ticket in Florida, with numbers corresponding to the site link for employees of county assessors and property, as well as notes on how to buy property title. Originally, I thought of using this map and notes for me, but after seeing the act all the sales that happened every month, I have a dilemma.

Plots

There were so many counties with many different auction dating. Often, these sales were made, the same day - at the same time, there will be two sales in two different counties. What should I participate?

Even if I had money to make the tax on sales in different counties that are scheduled at the same time, how could it be possible? I do not have the time or resources to research each one. Even if I did I would be able to trust

Manage the responsibility of the auction? Even put it simply, the opportunity was there, but the coordination to operate beyond me.

Writing course

So I decided to write a course, a reference guide for me on how to buy and sell real estate in Florida to work on. I love writing and I was almost embarrassed to admit that they are a class apart from a degree in journalism two years. That class - college algebra - is the same class that kept my cousin, Jennifer, has received his two-years degree in graphic design. But it is a successful graphic designer now so I think that does not mean much. Anyway I am wandering. In short, I love writing and have kept journals since.

If I could do everything myself, why should I keep it for me? Along the way, I met many people who were helpful and patient in answering my questions, appraisers of property tax used realtors to employees at the providers of corporate action. Maybe I could go through what I learned. That's why I wrote this course - so that everyone can benefit from my experiences, good and bad.

Everyone can

Anyone can do what I do - flip Florida land for a profit. I failed college algebra three times, keep me away from a degree in journalism two years. Before learning how to do that, I worked for a number of jobs. What job you ask? McDonald's, many different restaurant jobs, painting, car washing, updated kitchen assistant, pizza delivery driver, handyman.

These works have had their day of fun, but I know what you really love? To write and help people. This book helped me to do both. My friend, Vinnie, has used the techniques in this book to make $ 16,000 to his contract before equity land. And there was only two months. This can be you. It 'easy when you follow the steps of my journey.

A small investment, big return

With an investment of $ 2,000 dollars, you can start buying land in Florida.

How can my experience help? If you read my course and put into practice, you can learn to:

1) Participating and deed offers to sell with confidence

2) The purchase of land in Florida for as little dollars, $ 2000

3) Find the owners of Florida who are motivated to sell

4) complete the necessary forms for the purchase / sale of land

5) Use different web sites to sell your land

6) Determine which tax bill of sale to participate

As there are 67 counties in Florida, with most of them with the Act on the sales of each month, the chances of finding land at low cost to you. Even if you do not want to buy a property for you, maybe you know someone who could use financial help. Consider purchasing them a lot in Florida. Why not invest in the future of your children with the purchase of a lot in Florida?

What is the primary interest to the bank? Five percent? Land values are doubling or tripling every year. Making the money work for you by investing in something that gives more interest.

Visit my site at the top of this article to see some of the games that I bought with the techniques in my class. Whatever you do, I encourage you to pursue your dreams. Take Care & God bless you.
