International Investment Made Easy

| My wife Merri and I
were at Rosaspamba, Ecuador, our hacienda 5.4 miles north of the equator
as we watched a salmon sunset fade into plum wine and fall drunken in beauty
behind a razor backed ridge. Stars awakened like diamond beacons studded
in ink.
We live here in the winter, enjoy
our mountain farm in North Carolina in the summer, but depend on neither
for our welfare. Technology has opened the world for small businesses and
we take advantage of this. The world is our marketplace and having customers
in 82 countries brings us great independence. The sun always shines somewhere
and we can choose where to place our efforts and assets when politicians
or marketplaces where we live go bad.
You can too. The Internet and low
cost jet travel can provide a horizon-expanding global backdrop for you
and your business and unhinge boundaries so you can enjoy a lifestyle unthinkable
just a few years ago.
Merri and I have the ultimate sovereignty
by earning income wherever we go. This article shares one easy, effective
global business idea of offering tax lien services. Almost anyone can profit
from providing them. And this is just one business idea. There are a virtually
unlimited number of other ones.
Tax lien certificates are especially
suited for international business because they contain qualities that overseas
investors desire. These liens attract wealthy investors that give you a
source of income as you meet the crème de la crème of society
wherever you go.
Tax lien certificates are issued
by U.S. county governments, which generate their revenues from property
tax. If property owners don’t pay their tax, then county revenues fall.
Counties solve this problem by letting outside investors pay delinquent
taxes. In exchange, the investor receives a tax lien certificate, which
guarantees repayment with substantial interest when the property owners
finally pay up. The full value of the property guarantees the lien and
allows possession of the property after a specified time.
Three qualities make these certificates
especially attractive abroad.
First, tax liens are safe. The guarantee
supercedes all other types of liens, including mortgages, IRS liens, etc.
Property cannot be sold until the tax and penalty are paid.
Second, tax liens pay high returns.
Interest charges vary from state to state, but some states charge as much
as 25%, which in some cases can be earned in as little as one day!
Third, tax liens are complicated,
require work and take time to process. Laws, and rates, vary county to
county. Investors should preview properties. Someone must attend county
sponsored auctions to buy the liens. Investors need to know the property
markets and rules and procedures in each county where liens are bought.
This makes tax lien services perfect
to offer abroad. Even after paying your service fee, international investors
make higher returns with greater safety than they would in stocks and bonds.
And the whole process is so complicated that they cannot do it without
you! The cost of their travel to the United States, regular inspections
and management of the process costs more than your fee. |
 The
Sovereign Society, headquartered in Waterford, Ireland, was founded in
1998 to provide proven legal strategies for individuals to protect their
wealth and privacy, lower their taxes and to help improve their personal
freedom and liberty. |
| The
Society's highly qualified contacts recommend only carefully chosen banks
and investment advisors as well as financial and legal professionals located
in select tax and asset haven jurisdictions around the world. The Society
provides advice concerning the establishement and operation of offshore
bank accounts, asset protection trusts, international business corporations
(IBCs), private foundations, second citizenships and foreign residency,
as well as practical safeguards for financial, Internet and personal privacy. |

Sovereign Society stands alone in fulfilling this singular, international
offshore service role for its members. To learn more about our organization

Another reason tax lien services
are perfect to offer abroad is because you are not offering an investment.
Many countries have a myriad of regulations relating to securities and
investments. You must be careful not to violate these laws in the countries
where you do business.
So, instead of selling the tax liens
themselves, you sell information and services, offering correspondence
courses and seminars about tax liens. Most investors abroad, after learning
about liens, will not have the time to do what is required to purchase
them. Thus, you can also offer real estate inspection and auction services.
You help investors learn about tax liens, help them know about liens being
auctioned, help inspect property for the investors and represent them at
auctions. These services are not likely to violate security regulations
anywhere (though you should always check laws in each country where you
do business).
Investors never make investments
with you or your firm. They always (often with your help) make investments
directly with a U.S. county government. They are also always repaid directly
from that same U.S. county government (but they can assign a portion of
their profits to you for your services).
Selling courses, seminars and business
services has generated streams of income all over the world for my wife
and me. We have enjoyed income in U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars, British
pounds, even Swiss francs. More importantly our business has given us the
freedom to go where we desire, yet to keep our assets and earn our income
where markets and laws make the most sense.
We have gained mobility and unbounded
horizons without worrying about how to survive financially. Trips turn
into tax-deductible, profit-generating events rather than after-tax expenses.

The
Strange Disappearance of 100,000 American Millionaires.
| Last year,
the number of American millionaires fell by 100,000. Yet 200,000
new millionaires showed up overseas. Why? Because hugely profitable
investments are being hidden from you by a cartel of lawyers, regulators
and Wall Street special interests. Like our recommended investments that
gained 797% and 1,794% during the bear market and our other investments
up 85%.. 117%...177%...225%. Find out what they don't want you to know... |

You too can gain the sovereignty
and freedom that comes from having mobile income. Tax lien services are
one good way to attain this.
The Internet and international direct
mail means almost anyone can use merchandising tools to offer products
and services abroad for greater independence and fun. Whether you offer
tax lien services or something else, “go global my friend!” You dramatically
increase your asset safety, increase your wealth and broaden your horizons.
