Hi there, I bought a few auction properties in MS so two questions I can answer since I'm currently going through it. I bought my house and land through the state of MS which has helped me tremendously and I have a real estate attorney. The deed or land Patent comes from the state office like the chancellor clerks office after the auction is over, I'm not sure if you're doing the same thing. 1. Can you go into the property once purchased, usually you can but do have locks changed they want proof your the owner. In Mississippi they call it a land Patent or quit claim deed. Once that's received which can take up to 8 weeks then you can go in change the locks, turn on utilities etc. you can also call and confirm how long it will take with the office whose doing the auction. 2. Most of the time you'll need an attorney to do the title search and title change however most attorneys or if you know a title company who might do it for you wants that deed or land patent. It's a cost from $250-$500 depending on the state and my attorney had my title back to me in two weeks. The insurance part I'm not sure because it's somewhat different in my state I'm investing. I hope this helped lol.

Hi Susan I would love to connect with you! I'm coming down to Jackson in August to look at some properties. I appreciate the warm welcome :).

Hi everyone! My name is Krystin I'm 28 and I love long walks on the beach and real estate. I joined bigger pockets because I've always been interested in becoming an investor in real estate but was very scared to make the jump until now. I just feel like sometimes you need to get out there and make a dream a reality. I have flipped a house before with my mom here in Las Vegas; however I'm relocating to Mississippi next year. I looked at the market there as far as Jackson and Meridian and I see so much potential there. My goal is to become full time in investor one day. I've been listening to the podcast, bought some books and I'm really trying to soak up as much knowledge as possible, I have also linked up with a realtor in MS who has given me a lot of knowledge. So hi everyone and I'm hoping to learn as much as I can and hopefully meet other people in the industry like me in MS.
