The tax lien strategist

They govern themselves and that’s dangerous

Although tax foreclosure is done on the county level, City Council does have a level of awareness of what’s going on

They both are established to bypass probate but the differences still warrant you hiring an attorney

What paperwork does City Council see before property is taken

We must dismiss the narrative that black property loss is due solely to the failures of black people

More training on how to invest in tax liens properties

From City Council members who we’re careful to put in office, to county and state level employees who we vote into office, black people are going to have to come together and rethink the why’s that we keep putting some people in office and back again

They want to continue to blame the communities and not deal with the economic stressors that cause itBlack people of all people should understand this, but when your job tells you what to say, you have to say what they tell you to

Don’t let these people tell you that the black couple who created the first land trust that protected property owners from theft meant for the model that’s used today to be compared to their model It’s not the same model

Tanisha Manning told me that the community meeting on violence in 3rd Ward was not the right time for the discussion on property retention as a solution. That statement will force the community to understand how out of touch people are about their properties being stolen. Property loss is still seen as an individual failure on the part of the property owner and not a part of a broader system that is constantly being maintained by the system of oppression and generational wealth loss measures

This is the language you should put in the contract as a counter offer

Transparency is key. Don’t be in the dark. Get counsel about the language in the contract

You don’t know if that person owns that company. Don’t let them rush you. Slow down and check them out first

A will is a set of instructions. That’s it. An executor is a nominee with no power until an estate is probated and the courts grant power to execute the deceased’s wishes

If your help is truly about the community and not optics, then these are the things “ savior” groups should be doing. Most would rather blame the community for the problems and is why you don’t go to your own people and ask them to be better people and to stop creating these problems

This injustice affects housing and is connected to COVID 19 and mold especially

Most of the “help” we see in Third Ward is performative unless… we face the real reasons there are issues in the first place

They have a shared history of working together.

Housing should be first priority

Come walk with me as we expose white saviorism in gentrified areas for what it really is; Black erasure

If an investor files a suit to clear title after a tax sale but before redemption, it’s usually a waste of time and money

Heirship has to be established. Either enter wills for probate or establish heirship using affidavits

Title companies often miss or accepts defects

Challenging issues early matters

Why would a person who closed at title company not know about prior claims on the property?

This is a model that we all should he able to work with

They say that we’re pushing only the narrative about the destruction but omitting the fact that some of the people “ rebuilt “ They say we’re “ playing victim”Listen to this episode to hear how foolish and irresponsible their words are

They both are meant to demean and dehumanize

It’s the same mindset that makes one target others for their properties. You shouldn’t have the same things I do “ because you’re beneath me” type thinking

Governance is coming up with actual solutions. We haven’t had any of that while this administration is in office

Where is the official metric showing 60% completion? Critical analysis matters

Correction: District 4 At large position, Salinas did respond with a automatic response email. It’s District D that has not responded as of this date

The record never forgets. It can be corrected but never erased

Uncovering patterns can introduce intent and that introduces fraud

Property thieves try to make it difficult to find them. Look for these patterns

Depending on the property and how far we have to go back, we must understand the laws, courts and racial climate that shaped property records at the time of purchase

These lawsuits focus on proving that the title the investor relies on was void, fraudulent or improperly obtained

Much oversight is needed

The language they use tells it all

It’s a scare tactic. Those judgements are void. Don’t move

People just can’t stand for black women to be happy, joyful and stress free

Envy that black people can afford the same things as they may cause some people to say that

You can’t just apply. You need to gather information first

An investor can’t just go before a judge to receive a judgement on a property. They must show a cause of action

The process of service is foundational to a lawsuit. It’s a constitutional requirement

Void judgements can be attacked at any time.

Are the judgements void or voidable?

Predatory thieves will always change the narrative even while they’re doing the deed.

Property tax laws are made on state level, but the city also is tied in to displacement

Was doing what I normally do; give black people a business card. Sometimes that action is misunderstood as in this case
