March 2, 2010 – Good times at LeTip Chester County East continue!
SPEAKERS: Our speakers were: Nivé Dhanak of JBND Tax Books, Inc.; and Scott Darling of Re/Max Realtors.
1st Speaker: It’s tax time! Nivé presented information geared to small businesses in preparing their corporate tax return and to individuals with their personal tax return. She discussed a variety of tax strategies, including those that are commonly overlooked. Nive also helped clarify what is deductible and provided helpful tips for self-employed individuals (for e.g., 1099s). In addition, Nive offers a free analysis of your filing from last year as well as advice for your situation this year. A good lead for JBND is any small business or self-employed individuals with revenues of $50,000 to $10M+.
2nd Speaker: Scott D., our only residential realtor, shared his “roadmap” booklets: 1. For “Buying Your Home”; and 2. For “Selling Your Home.” Good leads for Scott include: 1. 1st time buyers (tax credit! - anyone who is engaged or about to be married); 2. move-up buyers (from townhouse to single-family home); 3. referrals (buyers or sellers, local or anywhere around the world); and 4. Anyone in financial difficulty and in a possible foreclosure situation (Scott is a Certified Distressed Property Expert and he can help!).
TIPS: At this week’s meeting we circulated 15 tips total! (7 inside, 7 outside and 1 inter-chapter tips). Jack Ansley is the Top Tipper for the month of February. Also, because of all the snow in February, Jack has extended his “pet pictures” offer through the month of March. Go Tippers!
