Can I flip a california tax auction property?

[Sara Lung]

Say I buy a house at the California county tax auction (**********), I rehab it, and put on the market for re-sale, will I be able to give my buyer clear title?

I heard there is a time period I must wait after my tax auction purchase, before I can re-sale with clear title? Can I rent out this rehabbed house during this waiting time?

How long is this wait time? 1 year? 5 years? Does the wait time change if I am flipping a rehabbed house, or re-sale vacant lot? 

Over the years I have learned so so so much from the community at BP, even when there were nay sayers all around me. I can't express enough how I am truly truly grateful.
