Hi!  I am not sure if this is the correct forum to post this in, but I just purchased a vacant lot in Haines City, FL through the county tax auction.  I'd like to flip it quickly but I am not 100% sure on my next steps.  I talked to a real estate agent in the area and she offered to list it for a little less than what I would like to get out of it, citing similar sales in the area.  I posted the lot on Facebook for a higher price (Still lower than what I think it can turn) and already had someone go by the property and come back telling me they are very interested.  I received a couple other "interested" responses.  So I have a few questions:

1. I know the Tax Assessor will take a few weeks to update the property to show me as the owner, can I still attempt to sell in this time frame?

2. Do I need to quiet the title before I make a firm deal?

3. Is there anyone out there that could reach out to me one on one for some sound advise?

Thanks in advance,

Brandy

    one thing is for certain there are no shortages of good lots with clean title in FLA...  I would only listen to Wayne in this thread he is an expert in that market the rest are just white noise and should be dimissed as advice or comments that are not worth anymore than the few seconds it takes to read this.. @Tom Gimer  excluded he knows title  LOl.. so either listen to Wayne or no one..
