Other investors can bid up properties just to make sure you don't come back...they can turn great deals into money losers just to insure their interest as the only ones who get the good deals at auctions.A redemption period gives the previous homeowner a chance to redeem the property after they have been foreclosed...there are typically redemption periods with IRS seizures...judicial foreclosures...and, as the new owner, you do not have posessory right during the redemption period...but this is where it gets a little complicated...the tax stuff is extremely complicated and confusing..most investors won't concentrate too much on it...which some might argue leaves it open for some money to be made if you have the right resources and know the ins/outs of all the rules and laws.

Although, you can do all of your own filings, I'd rather pay some money to have someone do it right so I can concentrate on other things.Your operating agreement is another thing and that depends on what your needs are.
