Nick Miller discussed how he got into the
real estate business. He started by selling
repossessed properties for financial institu-
tions and evolved to his present occupation
of leading Viking Investments. He joined Vik-
ing in 2008 and purchased the founding owner,
Mark Field's interests in 2012. Viking's business
model is to annually purchase delinquent taxes
at tax sales and to sell the tax deeds on those
properties when properties mature to Viking if
the owners fail to redeem their taxes. If the
owners do redeem their taxes, Viking receives
interest of 1.5% per month on the amount of
taxes that it paid at the tax sale. Mr. Miller also
pointed out that the purchaser of a tax deed
from Viking must  successfully pursue a Con-
firmation Suit at the Chancery Court in  order
to get a clear title to the property. Mr. Miller
is shown in the accompanying photo during
his presentation.
 
We thank both Mr. Broome and Mr. Miller
for their very interesting presentations and
for becoming members of the Rotary Club of 
North Jackson.
