Make Big Profits Flipping Florida Land
Make Big Profits Flipping Florida Land
From delivering pizzas to owning 15 lots in Florida
by Kris Kemp
Background
Up until 2003, I had worked as a delivery driver for Papa John’s in downtown West Palm Beach, Florida. For two years, I had couch-surfed, living at friends houses, crashing on their sofas, in exchange for doing dishes, cleaning, or helping around the house. Why? I wanted to save money and in order to save money, I needed a way out of paying rent. Basically, I was a houseboy, or a concierge.
Believe it or not, the experience was memorable and fun. During that time, I completed two journals–”The Insanity Defense” and “Gravity (the seduction of the equator)”. One day, I hope to publish them. The last place I stayed was David Knight’s kitchen, a separate building with kitchen sink, fridge, table, shower, toilet. That was during the time of hurricane season in Florida and a few hurricanes had hit the area pretty hard. As he was a healthy eater, he requested that I bring coconuts home, as they were all over the street from the hurricanes aftermath. Specifically, he requested two coconuts a day. While driving around delivering pizzas at night, whenever I saw downed coconut trees or coconuts, I would park and toss them into the back of my Honda Civic. I purchased a nice machete for -15 bucks and, after bringing them home and placing them in his fridge, would cut them 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 out for fixer-upper houses. Whenever I saw them, I would look up the address at the property appraiser’s website, track down the owner, send a letter and make an offer. Either it was already under contract by an investor or in litigation limbo, so my attempts were unsuccesssful. Oh well. At least I tried.
Life changes
In 2003, tired of delivering pizzas and somewhat frightened by some bad experiences on the job (being assaulted, being robbed, having rocks thrown at the car), I quit. I had saved ,000 dollars. Knowing that I needed more money, I
withdrew all my mutual funds, which added ,000 dollars to the pot. Combined, I had a total of ,000 dollars.
I was hoping to use this money to buy a fixer-upper house in West Palm Beach, Florida. At this time, though, the real estate market was very hot–home prices were soaring. Even fixer-upper houses were selling for 0,000.
Taking my search online, I came across an ad for 9-acres with a trailer, and a spring in back, for ,900. A few days later, I drove to Old Town, Florida, met the owner, and put a ,000 down payment on the land, with arrangements to
pay 0 a month for five years (60 payments) and a balloon payment of ,000. (A balloon payment is a final loan payment that is considerably higher than regular payments, in order to pay off a loan.) After paying for the trailer, I had ,000 dollars left. I fixed up the trailer and lived in it. The cost of paint and tools amounted to a few thousand dollars, leaving me with ,000.
Small town, small pay
As it was a small town, the only jobs seemed to be at Georgia-Pacific, a lumber company just outside of town, and Hardees. Looking through the local paper, I saw an ad for tax deed sales. I visited the county clerk’s office and asked questions. Lots of questions. I visited the property appraiser’s office in the same building and asked questions. I started
attending sales and bidding on land, using the remaining ,000 that I had left.
(At this point, you might be saying: ‘It was easy for you. You had ,000 dollars.’ To begin with, it’s not easy when you’re starting out doing this and you have no experience. Money can only take you so far. Anyone can learn how to
do this with a ,000 dollar investment.)
Deals everywhere
Deals everywhere and I was running out of money, buying properties. But now I needed an income. I contacted friends and relatives and three people responded, agreeing to pay me a small monthly salary and a percentage once they sold a
property, if I could find them a tax deed property at a good price.
For a year, I lived in Old Town, attending tax deed sales. I also attended tax deed sales in other counties–Gilchrist, Levy, Madison, and Jefferson. Once I owned the land, I would re-sell it. My first major sale brought in a profit of around ,000 dollars. I remember running around the 9-acres, jumping up and down and praise God for the financial blessing. During this time, I was able to work for myself, and living in North Florida among friendly people and beautiful surroundings–springs, rivers, lots of trees–proved cathartic in many ways.
Eventually, I returned to West Palm Beach, and continued to attend sales in nearby counties. Looking over all the counties, I decided to make a numbered map of Florida, with numbers corresponding to website links for county clerks and property appraisers, along with notes on how to buy tax deed properties. Initially, I planned to use this map and notes for myself, but after seeing all the tax deed sales that were happening every month, I came to a dilemma.
Lots of lots
There were so many counties with so many different lots going up for auction. Often, these tax deed sales were on the same day–on the same date there will be two sales in two different counties. Which one should I attend?
Even if I had the money to bid on tax deed sales in different counties that are scheduled on the same date, how would this be possible? I don’t have the time or resources to research all of them. Even if I did, who I would be able to trust to
handle the responsibility of bidding? Too put it simply, the opportunity was there but the coordination to make it work was beyond me.
Writing a course
So, I decided to write a course, a reference guide for myself, on how to buy and sell tax deed properties in Florida. I enjoy writing and am almost embarassed to admit that I’m one class away from a two-year journalism degree. That class–college algebra–is the same class that kept my cousin, Jennifer, from receiving her two-year graphic design degree. But, she’s a successful graphic designer now so I guess it didn’t mean much. Anyway, I’m wandering. In short, I like to write and have been keeping journals ever since.
If I couldn’t possibly do this all myself, why should I keep it to myself? Along the way, I’ve met lots of people who have been helpful and patient in answering my questions, from property appraisers to tax clerks to realtors to title company employees to tax deed bidders. Perhaps I could pass on what I’ve learned. This is why I wrote this course–so others could benefit from my experiences, both good and bad.
Anyone can do this
Anyone can do what I do–flip Florida land for a profit. I failed college algebra three times, keeping me away from a two-year journalism degree. Before learning how to do this, I worked a number of jobs. What jobs, you ask? McDonald’s, lots of different restaurant jobs, painting, car wash, kitchen upgrades assistant, pizza delivery driver, handyman.
Those jobs had their fun times, but I you know what I really enjoy? Writing and helping people. This book enabled me to do both. My friend, Vinnie, has used the techniques in this book to make ,000 in equity on his first land deal. And that was only two months ago. That can be you. It’s easy when you follow the steps in my course.
Small investment, big return
With an investment of ,000 dollars, you can start buying land in Florida.
How can my experiences help you? If you read my course, and put it into practice, you can learn how to:
1) Attend and bid at tax deed sales with confidence
2) Buy land in Florida for as little as ,000 dollars
3) Find Florida property owners who are motivated to sell
4) Fill out the paperwork necessary for buying/selling land
5) Utilize different websites to sell your land
6) Determine which tax deed sales to attend
As there are 67 counties in Florida, with most of these having tax deed sales every month, the chance of finding land at low cost is in your favor. Even if you don’t want to buy property for yourself, perhaps you know someone who could use some financial help. Consider buying them a lot in Florida. Why not invest in your children’s future by buying a lot in Florida?
What’s the prime interest at the bank? Five percent? Land values are doubling or tripling annually. Make your money work for you by investing it in something that yields greater interest.
Check out my website at the top of this article to see some of the lots that I’ve purchased using the techniques in my course. Whatever you do, I encourage you to follow your dreams. Take Care & God Bless You.

Maine Secondary School Receives Nearly $15 Million from Former Scholarship Student
Maine Secondary School Receives Nearly Million from Former Scholarship Student
Fryeburg, Maine (PRWEB) October 18, 2010
Fryeburg Academy, a Maine town academy and one of the oldest private schools in the U.S., has received a restricted gift approaching million from the estate of Bion R. Cram, class of 1933, a former Fryeburg Academy scholarship student, and his partner, John H. McCoy. This gift is thought to be the largest ever to a secondary school in Maine.
A celebration was held on campus Friday to honor the memory of Cram and his remarkable devotion to the Academy. More than 200 donors, students, alumni, faculty and staff, trustees, and members of Cram’s family participated in the memorial service.
Mary Lowatchie, Cram’s niece, said, “My uncle was a very frugal man who believed that money was meant to have a purpose, and he felt that education was a very worthy purpose. He always said that it was his opportunity to attend Fryeburg that first gave him the tools to become a success in life.”
The restricted gift, the largest in the Academy’s history, was specifically designated by Cram to establish endowments for financial aid scholarships and for academic resources including the operation of the Academy’s Bion R. Cram Library. Cram’s entire residual estate was divided equally between the Academy and Bowdoin College in Brunswick.
Dan Lee, Fryeburg Academy’s Headmaster, said, “A Fryeburg Academy scholarship opened the doors of opportunity for Bion, and he never forgot that. His strong belief in giving back enables us to continue to provide quality education to families – particularly Maine families – that would not be attainable to them otherwise. We are very grateful to Bion for his extraordinary commitment to the Academy.”
Cram, a retired stockbroker, made gifts in excess of .5 million to the Academy during his lifetime. In 2002, he contributed 0,000 toward the construction of a state-of-the-art library. When fire destroyed the school’s gymnasium in 2005, Cram contributed million toward the effort to rebuild it. In 2007, he dedicated the Academy’s new athletic arena to honor his sister, Ada Cram Wadsworth, a former Academy teacher.
Tim Scott, director of development at Fryeburg Academy, said, “Bion’s tremendous generosity has been transformational for Fryeburg Academy. In life, he played a significant role in enhancing our historic campus and its educational capabilities. Bion’s bequest ensures that the high quality Fryeburg Academy experience can be made available to the broadest spectrum of students in perpetuity.”
Cram, with residences in Kennebunk, Maine and Indialantic, Fla., passed away at the age of 93 on December 21, 2008. His partner of 59 years, John A. McCoy, predeceased him by 19 days. Cram came to Fryeburg Academy as a boarding student from the family farm in 1929. He graduated in 1933, receiving the Gibson Medal and Scholarship Award, the Academy’s highest Honor. He went on to attend Bowdoin College on scholarship, earning a bachelor’s degree in economics in 1937.
Graduating in the midst of the Great Depression, he was the first of his college classmates to secure a job. Thanks to a recommendation from prominent businessman and financier Harvey Dow Gibson, also a Fryeburg Academy (class of 1898) and Bowdoin alumnus, Cram earned a coveted entry-level position at the Manufacturer’s Trust Company in New York City, where Gibson was President. Cram ultimately entered the world of investment banking, enjoying a highly successful career that spanned more than three decades until his retirement in 1982.
Founded in 1792 with statesman Daniel Webster serving as one of its early Headmasters, Fryeburg Academy is one of the nation’s longest-operating schools. This independent secondary school, one of Maine’s 10 town academies, educates more than 500 students from western Maine and eastern New Hampshire as well as 135 boarding students from 21 countries and ten states.For more information, go to http://www.fryeburgacademy.org.

96 Per Cent of the World?s Top Universities Use Cambridge English
96 Per Cent of the World’s Top Universities Use Cambridge English
(PRWeb UK) October 15, 2010
New figures show that 96 per cent of the world’s top 200 Universities recognise or use Cambridge English language qualifications from University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations (Cambridge ESOL). The report by Cambridge ESOL uses data from the QS TopUniversities.com rankings of the world’s top universities issued in September. Of the 200 universities listed by QS TopUniversities.com, 192 or 96 % use Cambridge English qualifications for admissions purposes, as part of their curriculum – or in some cases they help to prepare students for the language exams.
Welcoming this news, Sujata Stead from Cambridge ESOL says:
“It’s really encouraging to see the top ranking universities around the world are recognising the importance of reliable English language qualifications. Those exposed to Cambridge English have a better experience of higher education and a competitive edge after graduation.”
In a separate set of rankings also published in September by the Times Higher Education, 94% of the top ranking universities listed also recognised Cambridge English certificates. The recognising institutions on both league tables help make up the 11,000 universities, employers and government departments around the world who recognise Cambridge English as a reliable measure of language ability. Sujata Stead says:
“As a worldwide gold standard of ability, Cambridge English helps individuals on to the job ladder, with immigration applications and further studies.”
Every year, more than three million people in 130 countries take Cambridge English language exams run by the University’s English-language exams department, Cambridge ESOL.
A full list of the 11,000 plus organisations which accept Cambridge English exams is available here.

Remapping Debate has Launched
Remapping Debate has Launched
New York, NY (Vocus) October 14, 2010
Remapping Debate, launched this week, tackles a fundamental paradox about the media ecosystem: for all the outlets and for all the bytes, the why and why not questions of public policy are too rarely addressed.
Craig Gurian, Remapping Debate’s Editor, said: “Buried behind stories that treat a particular policy as natural or inevitable or realistic are underlying assumptions about the impracticality of alternative choices. The result is that robust policy debate is constricted, even at the moments when very large decisions are being made.”
Gurian continued: “The heart of our work will be original reporting. We take seriously the idea that the job of journalists is to question and to illuminate. We think we need to reject the mental borderlines that have mainstream reporters speaking only to mainstream sources, and alternative reporters speaking only to alternative sources.”
“We insist that it is probing – not stenography – that can illuminate and inform, and that challenging a policy maker or policy advocate to engage with alternatives to a pre-scripted sound bite represents not commentary, but an essential element of real reporting,” Gurian concluded.
In the first edition:
Can the anti-inflation reflex be tamed?
Original Reporting, by Greg Marx
With the economy stalled and unemployment stuck near 10 percent, an increasingly broad range of economists, from small-government libertarians to those on the center-left, has argued that higher inflation could be key to creating jobs. Their argument echoes the analysis offered by some top officials at the Federal Reserve — but can the central bank shake off old habits and craft policy built to meet current circumstances?
Coming Boomer pension cuts: what impact on economy?
Original Reporting, by Diana Jean Schemo
With 78 million Baby Boomers heading into retirement over the next 20-plus years, how will cuts in guaranteed monthly pension benefits to both public and private sector workers — in addition to those that have already been implemented — affect the ability of future retirees to engage in economy-sustaining consumer spending?
47 House Dems: Keep lower rates for rich dividends, capital gains
Story Repair, by Greg Marx
In this feature, we select a story that appeared in a major news outlet and take it in for repairs. The source material this week was a Politico story that reported that nearly a fifth of House Democrats were urging the Speaker to extend reduced capital gains and dividend tax rates for the wealthy beyond the scheduled year-end expiration of those rates.
Reporting highlights lack of information about donors behind political ad surge
Kudos, by Remapping Debate
As is evident to all observers, spending on political advertising by non-profit and other groups theoretically independent of the Democratic and Republican parties is up — way up — in this heated midterm campaign cycle. But, as some solid reporting has demonstrated, the identities of the donors actually bankrolling more and more of that spending remain shrouded in mystery.
NYC student testing scandal: roots and reverberations
Commentary, by Craig Gurian
Why didn’t warning signs about the flaws in the testing regime reverberate more with the public and the press in the years leading up to Mayor Bloomberg’s 2009 re-election, and is there now any chance for productive debate that gets well beyond testing-is-good versus testing-is-bad (or subject-matter-knowledge-is-good versus teaching-skill-is-good).
Article fails to probe potential impact of GOP plan for hearings to review health law
Press Criticism, by Lori Bikson
Washington Post story on Republican plans for holding 2011 oversight hearings as part of an effort to cause the public to repudiate the new health insurance law fails to ask basic questions about what the hearings strategy would mean, including questions about what evidence the GOP would be able to marshal or what counter-evidence Democrats might produce.
