I came to same conclusion, if house had deal fall through once, twice, 3x sometimes more, I think that's all I need to know to stay away, I was willing to renovate if need be but not rehab and most were not priced for complete rehab.

Conclusion......buying FL tax certificates is probably the worst possible way to try and acquire properties.

ive come to the conclusion that fair market price would be around 3-5,000 for all thirty acres according to the few land for rent ads i found in the area.

They are all looking at some key metric (or a variety of metrics) that is important to them, but that doesn't necessarily mean that their conclusions are going to be the right fit for you.

One thing that I have learned is to press your foot down around the base of the toilet, bathtub, or anywhere where water could leak out to feel for spongy or soggy subfloor.

As I said your conclusions are very logial and sound. 

That dude over there makes money selling cars.What the hell man... your conclusions are WAY out of whack!

Sec. 3241a.For purposes of this chapter, if foreclosure proceedings have been commenced under this chapter against residential property not exceeding 4 units, there is a conclusive presumption that the premises have been abandoned if all of the following requirements are satisfied before the end of the redemption period:(a) The mortgagee has made a personal inspection of the mortgaged premises and the inspection does not reveal that the mortgagor or persons claiming under the mortgagor are presently occupying or will occupy the premises.

After all the research I came to the conclusion, buy some books, listen to some podcasts, look for someone to partner up with who's been doing it awhile.

I had come to that conclusion over the weekend about the numbers having to work out for both LTR and STR for an investment there to even remotely make sense.
