The rates vary throughout the State because of the different millage rates and tax districts, but in Richland County for instance, the taxes essentially triple once it goes from legal resident to non legal residence. 

Everybody is different, some people like flipping, some like short term rentals, some like long term rentals. 

Just keep in mind each persons situation is completely different and small things can make a big difference in rates, fee's points, terms, etc.

@Jacqueline Wright  Every auction is different so the first items to check: do they allow financing if you win the auction? 

Different banks/lenders are going to have marginally different numbers, but as long as you're not getting an exorbitant interest rate, it's going to be more-or-less negligible.

In our area we have 3 different HUD agencies that provide vouchers to qualifying tenants.  

For me, the reports available in Baselane are ideal, but I'm also not trying to run a different business through it like it sounds like you may be doing.
