However, start the eviction proceedings ASAP so you don't waste precious time.

@Precious ThompsonYour profit will be at her expense.

However, I was recently laid off after 6 months and I’m not sure if I am still eligible to purchase a property by August as I had planned.

So I’m 23 and I live in Augusta Ga.

Looking to connect with other investors in the Augusta, Aiken, Greenwood area down here in Georgia/South Carolina area!

Enjoy Augusta, great market!

You should do lots of research and drive by each property that you might bid on.It depends on the laws in your state as to how string your tax deed is.I have been very luck and now have a nice portfolio of tax deed houses.I am also currently litigating a tax deed property where the precious owner is trying to over turn the county issued deed.With proper research you can mitigate a lot of the risk.There is  lot of information on the BP forums that you can study on tax liens.

@Precious Thompson  Is this a home you want to buy or list (your profile says you are a realtor)? 

Two years after my divorce ( following 8 month with a less than stellar tenant), I decided to sell the property and use the profit to invest in multi-family properties in the Augusta, GA area.

The 40,000 received from the sale is currently working on a duplex BRRR in the Augusta area.
