i bought property at tax sale auction in Dekalb county Georgia, over 12 months ago, now i am doing barment,  i published ad news paper,  i sent 30 days notices to ex owners and all parties might have interest,  and the property now it empty / unoccupied.my question is: if 30 days notice expired and no body redeemed, can i enter the property and start to fix / repair the property, and rent it??

Most people in REI are familiar with how their own state works (on paper) but not how other states work (starting with Judicial vs.

I am also having my hard money lender put on paper, that if things get delayed that their will be a clause in the loan that gives me leeway on time, so that I do not get screwed if I cant build or sell fast enough.... 

You also want to make sure the cash flow is real and not just a calculation on paper. 

The numbers look good on paper...purchase price of $110,000, rehab all in about $40,000, and resale value should be around $220,000. 

On paper, it makes sense to use such a service to have a predictable cost allocation towards maintenance.

If you are buying the cheapest home in a not so great area, the returns on paper look great, but you will have a lot more costs than you expect due to a lower quality tenant.

The returns are a lot lower than what you see on paper. 

- The current reality is that investing in RE may require a couple years of negative cash flow before things start to make sense on paper.

They look good on paper, but the realities of low-quality renters, high crime, unscrupulous vendors, and other problems can destroy the investment value.Some landlord insurance policies have burglary as an additional rider you must add on specifically.
