Those things won't matter if your business crushes it. i feel like it would matter when those things add up and start tearing at ur profit If banking fees cut into your profit, your profit isn't big enough. i just think we view it different bc I'm a firm believer it cutting cost and minimize it 

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.
