Florida Auction Process

[Dakota Brown]

I have been investing in single family homes for a few years now and am looking to break into cash auction buying here in Tampa. I have a few questions below but would love to get connected with someone who has done this before in FL. 

1) What is the most efficient and cost effective website/source to do your due diligence on the house before bidding? (i.e lien search, tax bills, anything else)

2) Do you typically go to the courthouse steps or is everything online now? If online, is there any other source besides the county website you find to be more useful?

3) I understand there are more risks involved in the auction process. Is there any additional information you'd provide to someone first getting into the auction process?

Looking forward to your comments!
