Looking for a mortgage?
Buying a home can be stressful with so many decisions to make regarding which types of loans to have and which lender to obtain it from. When I bought my home, I went with a broker that I knew personally but maybe you don't have that option. Many small regional banks are finding it difficult to get loans approved right now so larger more established banks can offer you the best rates and better terms. I really like that the Mortgage Mart has a blog that is full of useful information for anyone looking to obtain a mortgage as well as current homeowners. They discuss everything from the subprime crisis to how to move with kids. They also have a great section on how to avoid scams. Just yesterday, I heard on the news that a Florida man defrauded several people by pretending to refinance their homes when in reality he stole their information and sold their homes right out from under them. That's scary stuff folks, so please be informed.

Volusia County Tax Certificate Sales
Subscribe in a reader
Thursday, June 26, 2008
Florida Tax Sales
The county tax collector has the authority and obligation to collect all taxes as shown on the tax roll by the date of delinquency or to collect delinquent taxes, interest, and costs, by sale of tax certificates on real property and by seizure and sale of personal property. The tax collector shall be allowed to collect reasonable attorney's fees and court costs in actions on proceedings to recover delinquent taxes, interest, and costs (Sec. 197.332).
The way this works is that the buyer of the tax certificate bids down the interest starting at a maximum of 18 per annum from the date of delinquency until a tax lien certificate is sold (Sec. 197.172). Each certificate shall be sold off to the person who will pay the taxes, interest, costs, and charges and will demand the lowest rate of interest, not in excess of the maximum rate of interest allowed by this chapter. The tax collector shall accept bids in even increments and in fractional interest rate bids of one-quarter of 1 percent only. If there is no buyer, the certificate shall be issued to the county at the maximum rate of interest allowed by this chapter. (Sec. 197.432).
When a tax certificate is redeemed and the interest earned on the tax certificate is less than 5 percent of the face amount of the certificate, a mandatory charge of 5 percent shall be levied upon the tax certificate. The person redeeming the tax certificate shall pay the interest rate due on the certificate or the 5-percent mandatory charge, whichever is greater. This subsection applies to all county-held tax certificates and all individual tax certificates except those with an interest rate bid of zero percent. (Sec. 197.432 (2) ).
Any person may redeem a tax certificate at any time before the tax deed is issued or the property is placed on the list of lands available for sale (Sec. 197.472). The certificate holder is entitled to initiate a judicial foreclosure proceeding any time after two years from April 1 of the year the certificate was purchased; however, the proceeding must be commenced within seven years of the certificates date of issuance (Sec. 197.502).
The deed is assigned at foreclosure to the holder/owner of the Tax Lien Certificate. (1) The holder of any tax certificate, other than the county, at any time after 2 years have elapsed since April 1 of the year of issuance of the tax certificate and before the expiration of 7 years from the date of issuance, may file the certificate and an application for a tax deed with the tax collector of the county where the lands described in the certificate are located. The application may be made on the entire parcel of property or any part thereof which is capable of being readily separated from the whole. The tax collector shall be allowed a tax deed application fee of $75 (Sec. 197.502).
Each county holds their own tax certificate sale, so if you are interested in bidding next year, please see the county website for more information. For example Volusia County would be www.volusia.org.

Home Improvement Pros
Done Right’s directories feature guaranteed home improvement pros across more than 100 categories in Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Houston, San Diego, and almost 20 other markets across the US. The categories include general contractors, plumbers, electrical contractors, landscaping, handyman services, and cleaning/maid service.
As I was browsing this site, I came across a really great tool. The Done Right Library offers articles on how to start many major home improvement projects. They offer insight on Painting, Decks, Pools, Landscaping, Lighting and even Home Theatre.
Another thing that I noticed was that they even have a section for Home Pest Control. Most fixer upper homes are probably in need of pest control services, so what better place to start.

Investment Analysis
A Real Estate portfolio is the best investment for you and your family - far better and less volatile than stocks!
This house is perfect for a family to live in, or for an investor. Now is the time to invest in real estate at never before seen prices, and profit from the current foreclosure boom. This is a rare opportunity to buy real estate at incredible prices, and hold onto it while benefiting from rental cash flows and long term capital appreciation. Consider how much a bank account earns and the huge losses being experienced in the stock market right now, and real estate is the logical choice for building lasting wealth. According to the Canton Chamber of Commerce, an average home rents for $505 per month, yielding strong cash flow if used as a rental, or an attractive profit if sold. According to Robert Kiyosaki author of Rich Dad Poor Dad and creator of the Cash Flow Board Game, investing in real estate is a great way to build income and achieve financial security and independence. A small investment in real estate can be a great step towards building a real estate investment portfolio, creating sustainable wealth and achieving financial independence.
