I did have an attorney with me at the auction, but this seems to be an unusual situation such that no one is 100% sure of the validity of my deed.

I don't agree with this, but I really don't see the value in an unusually long lease either.

A .6 acre lot is not unusual and Atlanta is hilly and full of trees so a wooded lot is also very common.

I like that part.now as I said a little frustrating but if we call this disruptors they defiantly changed the landscape and forced someone like me who is use to making the rules into bending to their rules. 

If a property tax lien, double make sure that the mortgage co. hasn't already paid this off.It's sort of unusual for a mortgage company with such a big position ($410k) to allow a small $15k to exist and possible wipe away it's collateral.

You don't have to pay them at closing which is unusually 24 hours after auction but you need to take in account that you have to deal with them at a later time.2nd and most important fine print: make sure you know which position of the mortgage you are bidding.

The two events I go to monthly are the Fort Bend REI meeting First Tuesday of the Month at Rudy's (Hwys. 59 and 99) and the Jet Lending Super Meeting on the Third Wednesday of each Month. 

Now I know its never good to try and bend over backwards to make a deal work but this is a great opportunity and I am very familiar with the area having lived in this city almost 10 years.

Early this year, I made the decision to get my agent's license and joined a brokerage in South Bend, Indiana.
