I stumbled upon Biggerpockets.com while reading a book I’ve owned for 5 years. 

My (non lawyer) read of the SC rules paints a much different picture in those jurisdictions than what you discuss in TX - where it sounds like you own effectively nothing but a tax note until the close of the redemption period - you can't take possession and rent the property, real estate taxes during the period are still the responsibility of the original owner, etc.The below is from the County of Charleston SC's website regarding the tax sale and how they work in that particular jurisdiction - certainly not the authoritative source of their state statutes, but for posting on a forum, I'll take it for now. 

Every job is different and every job has its own challenges.

The tenant without the eviction could afford the property on their own if needed.

I was my own agent for this one.

We own the property outright, so there is no work needed to acquire the land and Airbnbs are allowed.

Wholesalers use their own contracts.

I raised the rent to $800 because I was planning to transition the units to paying for their own heat so a lower rent amount was fair.

Find a deal, flip the contract, learn, save, then go on your own Sorry I am always direct, Good luck 

But to each their own. when I had rental properties I paid a property manager.
