TREIA February Main Meeting
Posted by: | Comments
$ Tax Lien Investing on Steroids! $
The TREIA General Meeting for February will feature Corey Taylor and Tom DiAgostino of Fortris LLC presenting an overview of tax lien investing. Not only will they explain tax lien investing as a way to generate double-digit rates of return but also how to acquire properties for pennies on the dollar!
Some states make it easier than others to invest in tax liens. They will explain the differences. North Carolina law makes it tough for the savvy investor to do much but collect interest and penalties on tax liens, unless you know the inside story. They will show how to acquire these properties in North Carolina.
Corey and Tom are also presenting an all-day seminar on Saturday, March 3rd where they will go into more depth on their methods to make much bigger profits with tax liens than simply collecting interest and penalties. They will show investors how tax liens can be better than short sales; better than foreclosures; even better than a motivated seller.
You will also learn:
- the best states for buying tax lien certificates; best states for buying tax lien deeds
- how to sell traditionally; sell on eBay, sell on other online sources
- how to buy to rehab, wholesale, buy and hold; how to buy vacant land and other deals
FORGET what you have heard on TV – this is the real nitty-gritty of tax lien investing!
As usual, the TREIA general meeting is on the third Tuesday of each month at:
North Raleigh Hilton

Larry Ledford Women’s Event “Wrap” Up
Posted by: | Comments
Former TREIA President Larry Williams was the only man allowed to attend the Women in Investment Real Estate class. (Larry Ledford requested this to be a ladies only event) A longtime student of Ledford's, Williams had been told several times he could attend any of the ladies events if he wore a wig and skirt. Here Williams is posing in a wrap for a skirt and a borrowed scarf. Thanks to both Larrrys for being good sports.
On Saturday, January 20th, women investors who were members or guests of the Triangle Real Estate Investors Association (TREIA), gathered to learn from successful real estate investor Larry Ledford, as he presented “Larry G. Ledford’s 101 Best Marketing and Sales Ideas for Real Estate Investors.”
Use Power Marketing to Drive Real Estate Returns
Serious real estate investors understand the power of marketing. Most participate in multiple networking groups and use direct mail and face-to-face contact to build a database of buyers, sellers, and lenders. But for real estate investor Larry Ledford, such steps are just the beginning. Ledford, who manages financial services and insurance, real estate investing and property management, and construction businesses, leverages not just two or three, but many different marketing strategies to accomplish his professional and financial objectives. He runs his real estate empire from Mocksville, North Carolina, but is a citizen of the world, teaching real estate in eight different countries and throughout the U.S. and investing in property in eighteen states. Ledford views his training sessions as an opportunity to help others, providing students with the education they need to launch or enhance their real estate careers and donating all training proceeds to his nonprofit, The Oar Foundation.
Dressed As a Woman: A Tale of Two Larrys
As the group was amassing, long-time investor and former TREIA president Larry Williams slunk into the women’s midst with a blanket wrapped around his middle and a scarf draped over his head. Current TREIA president Cynthia LaChapelle had issued a joking challenge at the monthly meeting, telling the group’s male investors that if they wore a wig and a skirt on Saturday they, too, could participate in the workshop. Williams’ attempt was enough to pass muster, and after a few laughs, he took his place among the TREIA women for the session.

Smith & Smith’s Tax Tips for Real Estate Investors
On Thursday, January 26th, the TREIA WIRE (Women in Real Estate) group gathered at Biaggi’s in Cary for lunch to hear Blake Smith and Becca Smith, of Smith & Smith, CPA, P.C., a Cary-based accounting firm. After introducing his firm, which serves real estate investors and small businesses, Blake offered the following tips.
- Real estate professionals can take unlimited losses on their investment properties, as long as they spend more time on their business than other activities and work in real estate more than 750 hours a year.
- Owners can depreciate investments for 27.5 years and add improvements to the basis of their property.
-Flippers who turn properties in less than a year will have gains taxed as ordinary income. Those who hold them for more than 365 days will have profits taxed as capital gains, which can mean a tax savings of 10 to 15 percent.
-Investors can’t take more than $25,000 of real estate losses in any given year, but can roll losses over from year to year. However, they can only do so if they have a combined income of less than $100,000.
-Any losses that investors aren’t able to deduct on their taxes can be recouped by selling the property.
Blake also outlined the pros and cons of different business entities, such as sole proprietorships, partnerships, C corporations, S corporations and limited liability corporations. He said a good accountant can help investors determine the best corporate structure for their investing activities.
Blake and Becca Smith can be reached at Smith & Smith, CPA, P.C., phone 919.380.0600, www.smithandsmithcpa.com.
