that I see the average real estate  investor making every single day.

First big mistake, you've got to call the County  Recorder and confirm that that seller owns the  

property. So what do you do? First of all you find  out exactly what county that property is located  

in. Then you quickly go on naco.org. That's  www.naco.org. That lists all the counties in the  

country. Do a quick search. You can do the state,  you can do the county, whatever you want to do,  

but make sure you go there. Then all you need to  do is if you don't want to talk on the phone you  

can email the recorder and simply ask whom owns  this property at this legal description. They'll  

email you back or they'll tell you it's Frontier  Equity Properties LLC when was it recorded and  

that gives you a good clue as to how long did that  seller even own that property are they buying it  

for long term are they flipping it what's going  on with that property kind of gives you a little  

bit more than the story anyways so now you've got  that information we're gonna email our seller now  

and say hey can you fax me or email me a copy of  your recorded deed for that property when they do  

it we're good to go if it takes some time a little  sketchy if they don't do it at all don't buy the  

property what I've seen is people go online and  they can just easily copy now whatever ad is  

online and say hey that's my property they can use  a fake PayPal account or a fake escrow account and  

take people's money the typical term for this is a  phishing scam that is the number one fatal mistake  

that I see people make you've got to confirm that  that seller owns that property otherwise who knows  

what you're getting into now there are situations  where I've actually sold property under an option  

and that's a whole other ballgame because I'm  just controlling that if that's the case then  

you need to have a copy of the option agreement  to see that they are controlling that property  

otherwise look out not a good thing at all all  right second most fatal mistake I see the average  

real estate investor making online is they get  real excited about a property they're gonna  

build their dream home there or they're gonna  put their RV on the property and they're just  

gonna camp out and hang out six months out of  the year or they're gonna raise sheep they're  

gonna do something cool on that property but they  don't confirm with the county planning Zoning  

Commission if what theory use for that property  is allowed and so they'll invest thousands of  

dollars ultimately to be disappointed and 99.9%  of the sellers out there they don't guarantee that  

property you're stuck with it and now whatever  dream you had to do on that property is wasted  

and then you've got to go on and try to resell  that property and it's a whole hassle and just  

a big ball of disappointment so what do you do  like we did with the first mistake we've got to  

contact the county planning Zoning Commission  we're gonna go back to our website WWN ACON a  

co.org we're gonna find our county and we're gonna  call or email planning and zoning we're going to  

give them the legal description of that property  along with an Assessors parcel number and we're  

just gonna ask our questions what restrictions  on this property what can I do on this property  

can I build the house can I raise sheep can a  camp can I put an RV all these things are very  

important when trying to determine that your use  for that property is allowed so it's very very  

important that you do that the third most common  fatal mistake I see buyers making every day and  

being really really disappointed with their  purchase is not calling the County Treasurer  

to confirm that the taxes are paid current this  one is really something that I've seen time and  

time again by people on the tush so it's real  real important that again we're gonna go back  

to our site WWJ co.org na co we're gonna find  our county treasurer and we're gonna shoot them  

out an email again with the legal description and  Assessors parcel number and that information you  

should be able to get from your seller very easily  and it should be on the ad if it's not you need  

to email your seller and get that information and  then you're simply going to confirm the taxes are  

paid current if they're not paid current you  need to email your seller and ask them who's  

responsible for these back taxes I assume you  are if they say oh you know you're responsible  

for those back taxes then you've got a decision  to make well how much are they if their owner s  

you know you're gonna pass on that deal if they're  reasonable and you're getting it at a good price  

well maybe pay the back taxes big deal but you  want to know what they are you certainly don't  

want to go into it blind and then be disappointed  when six months later you get this crazy tax bill  

and again try to contact your seller and say hey  I thought this property was clean clear as you  

had advertised online and they say oh well you  know you got it for a good deal or you know what  

are you complaining about it was you know it's  buyer beware we didn't guarantee anything there's  

nothing writing you bought the property blah blah  blah and you have no recourse except you know of  

course never to buy from that seller again but  technically if it's a large enough transaction  

or even it's a small transaction money's money  you've got to contact that County Treasurer and  

confirm the back taxes if they're already and then  contact your seller and see who's responsible for  

these back taxes if they're free being clear and  there's no are issues great you've got a clean  

deal on your hands but if there are well now we  got a choice to make but at least you know you  

know so there you have it the three fatal mistakes  number one not confirming if the celery of knows  

that property number two you got a call planning  and zoning confirm that what you want to do on  

that property you can actually do and number three  make sure there aren't any back taxes thanks a lot  

now these are three of the fatal plan mistakes I  see people making every day there's actually more  

seven more I got this bonus information coming  to you so be on the lookout for it thanks a lot
