I would be doing due diligence prior to the auction, and establish terms and Maximum bidding price based on the findings. So each house could look a little different, but I know that Brandon Turner has utilized this strategy, though it wasn't necessarily his intention to do so.

Is using Hard Money for an Auction.com (or Hubzu) property a realistic idea? I am considering both fix n flip and buy n hold strategies. For the buy n hold, I am thinking that if I can buy it and stay afloat for the initial 6 months to a year, I can refinance and be in a great spot. I would love to hear any thoughts and ideas on the topic!

I would start by finishing your profile and adding a picture so that people will have that first sense of trust. You can then look up investors in your area to reach out to that are on BP. After that I would market any property you have immediately following the signing of a contract. This will get people calling you, and if it is a good deal you will be able to find an investor or an end buyer. Also, find local REIA meetings or other investor meetups in your area and get to know the people there. They may not be who you are looking for, but they might know that person and can introduce you. Hope that helps!

I've read Rich Dad multiple 4 or 5 times as well as Think and grow rich. I have read a lot of personal growth books as well as spiritual growth books. My question really lies in which of the two books I asked about because they both are recommended here on BP and I would like to know which one would be the most beneficial to start out with. I haven't read cash flow quadrant yet, so I may pick that one up, it's been on my "to read" list for a couple years now. 

Thanks for the recommendations guys!

I'm sure both are great books, but i need to pick one to get first. So for those that have read both, which one first and why? 

The Book on Flipping Houses: How to Buy, Rehab, and Resell Residential Properties by J Scott Or Fixing and Flipping Real Estate: Strategies for the Post-Boom Era by Marty Boardman Thanks for the feed back! 

@Jay H. So I will bite. I've read quite a bit on the forums about Hubzu as you have suggested and have seen the strategies you guys are using. Definitely a game of patience from what I have read, but then again so are short sales. Curious as to what the secret sauce is as well and why it's "secret"!

So I have read a few threads on this subject, auction.com, and I haven't quite come to fully trust the site. However, some say that there is still deals to be had there and you just need to be patient, and diligent. So my question to those who have used them (and any other auction) is what is on your checklist of things to examine before bidding? Obviously doing a title search, and perhaps a drive by of the property, but what is the nitty-gritty that you are looking for? And where do you find that information?

@Seth Williams, I pulled a tax delinquent list and I noticed that the taxes were all 2012 once I exported to Excel. So in referencing the records I got from Agentpro I went onto the County Treasurer site to find that every property I tried was actually not delinquent. Any thoughts on this and what would be your next move if it were you?

Well I'm happy to say that after repeated attempts, I got the code to work.
