Do you turn in clean PLs on each property?  

He was an agent/investor but he makes movies now--they are on Tubi.

most contracts your 5k is your liquidated damages in most contracts. .. so snag that fire the agent and find another buyer if 13k is that important to you.. for sure not worth hiring an attorney for. 

I want to make sure I am doing my due diligence on each property.This is a question for your real estate agent!

My figures are below.TaxDeed Winning Bid: $489.00 (My Bid May 2013)Property Clean-up: $450.00 (mowing, trash removal)Taxes & Insurance: $80.00 (2013 & 2014)Sale Advertising: $130.00 (Signage, Newspaper Ads, etc)Filings & Legal Fees: $245.00 (Deed, Lien Releases, Sales Agreement Docs)Total Costs: $1395 (approx)Sold for: $3250.00 (August 2014)That is better than the 25% I would have received if the property was redeemed during the redemption period.

Quote from @Dean Harris: I love it when agents, clients and potential buyers listen to my podcast!

It's an incredibly powerful hack if you do meet the criteria.In other words, marry a real estate agent who's an RE Pro!

Buyer’s agents might agree.

I found it on the MLS by following an agent that relists homes for an investment company.

I dove into real estate as a college student, working in New York City as a real estate agent during the summers.
