First St Tammany REIA Meeting; Wednesday February, 25th, 2009

February 22, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

This coming Wednesday. February 25th, 2009 from 6:30 – 8:30 is our first St Tammany REIA meeting. REIA stands for Real Estate Investor's Association, and we are looking to be a consolidated resource for the real estate investor in St Tammany Parish. Multi-family properties, foreclosures, pre-foreclosure/short sales, REOs, wholesaling, flips, buy and hold, mobile homes, vacant land, commercial. There is a multitude ways to invest with real estate and good opportunities abound. With a little knowledge you too can be dangerous. Questions about financing and mortgages, home inspections, leasing or selling, appraisal/valuation, insurance, taxes, comparable solds in your market.

"Power team" is a loosely used term I think, but it is exactly what an investor needs. We have the resources you will need. Join us Wednesday, February 25th at Scoggin Properties / GMAC, 100 Innwood Drive, Suite A, Covington, LA 70433

New website for St Tammany Parish Tax Collector

February 22, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

SWEET! Now you may pay your St Tammany Property Taxes online.

Visit http://www.parishstpso.com/

I know. I don't' like taxes anymore than you do, and would love to see sweeping changes, mainly in the IRS, more importantly is the actual spending of the money. However this yoke is not going to be removed anytime soon, and paying property taxes, to a great extent, is a duty of owning property in our society, and a necessary evil. IE living and working in your area, without it, there is chaos. In our local communities we need police, fireman, roads, drainage, parks, etc. I looked for a breakdown of exactly how our St Tammany Parish tax dollars are spent, and I did find links to files http://www.stassessor.org/taxes.html on the Assessor's website. Though the links are broken at this moment. This is one subject I want to know more about.

We started a new website. www.StTammanyREIA.com

Scoggin Properties will be getting together Wednesday February 25th, 2009, between the hours of 6:30 to 8:30 to play Cash Flow. The Rich Dad, Poor Dad game created by Robert Kiyosaki. A well known investor.
Click here for more information. http://www.richdad.com/store/ProductDetail.aspx?id=1

If you have never played the game, I highly recommend it, and once you play so will you. This game is a great learning tool for anyone who has ever thought about investing in real estate.
We will have sandwiches and refreshments for all.
We are planning on having several games set up in separate areas, so there will be room for many players. Do not be hesitant, it will be a friendly atmosphere and I can almost guarantee you will leave with more knowledge than you came with, on top of having a good time.

Please feel free to RSVP me at marcp@scogginproperties.com if you are interested in coming. It will help us plan the number of food and drinks.

Thank You
Marc
