Am i safe to conclude this:1. you can not use hard money if auction.com defaults to a county site? 

Look out for old bus fuse panels and Pushmatics, again great in their time but internal failures and limited parts supply make them hard to operate and maintain safely anymore.

Specifically, ALWAYS work on providing safe conditions and law-abiding procedures.

Also, if you value maintaining a particular look, have terms in the lease that give you final say in what types of furniture and décor is allowed in the common areas of the house.CRITICALLY IMPORTANT: Is the house safe for housemates?

You will have to get your ejectment order to be completely safe, or pay off one of the heirs to let you take possession peaceably, and then wait out three years of exclusive and continuous possession (which means someone actually on the property using it, usually a tenant) before you have adversely possessed it and "cured" the void tax sale.

* What do I do to ensure that my property is safe legally from any lawsuits? 

I will say this, I ALWAYS run my numbers safely so I think anywhere from 15-20% for you is a good ballpark number.

But David Greene suggests those aren't necessarily a safe move and to do the work yourself.

I really see Columbus Ohio as an extremely safe bet for the next 10-20 years.
