Don't expect PM's to repeatedly chase down third and four bids (burning out their vendor relationships) and then expect that they will be construction managers as well.

Example; "sell house fast" is a keyword that is bid up to as high as $70 in Google.

And the houses can be majorly vandalized post inspection and they do not tell you.Leave money on your plate for major issues so you don't go underwater on them.We have a dummy in my town that bids way up, to the same amount as you could buy a house off the MLS. 

Either we didn't get the bids in time, our offers were turned down, or we were outbid. 

Right now, we have an opportunity to submit a bid on a piece of land that would yield an incredible return if we built on it.

They blew the Olympics bid, the pushed away the Star Wars museum, they acted like they had the Amazon bid locked up, and I'm concerned the Obama library is headed for disaster, or Hawaii for that matter.

I'm fairly new to this...I have been reading for awhile...watchung auctions and doing thorough DD...to date I havent won a bid but thats more my apprehension..and asking myself "what if".I just want to make sure I understand this...1)Win the bid and get the tax deed2) get a queit title suite3) get title insurance4) profit..or fix up and live in it or rent..Now I know there may be tenants or occupiers...I know there is more to it than what i mentioned above.

I'm curious about what the bids are likely to go up to.

I interviewed 8 contractors and I am collecting bids now. 

Do these auctions have a starting bid lower than what the bank will take it for?
