What do I usually need to bring to an auction to get the house if I do win a bid?

@Brandon Johnson well, I'm looking for fsbos and just talking with them to see if I can create a win win situation, mainly targeting people who might need to get out of there home, and there are many reasons for that from my research.

If the tenant is smarter than you and knows how to game the system, they will say they never received these documents from you and you will not be able to collect any rent, you would just be seeking a judgment for termination of the lease to vacate the property.....but that would only be after the lease term has ended.If tenant does not show up to court, highly likely, you win the judgment automatically. 

What points seemed to win them over to let you lease it and put it up on short term sites?

Sounds like a win win to me.

I am a CNLP with award winning landscape designs and an understanding of what flippers, BRRRR practitioners, residential/commercial property or estate owners are looking for.THE POINT: At the Garden Center I have some tough plants that survived the b-lo winter and I can push for half off.

Turns into a win/win situation in my opinion.In your situation, you say that the rent has to go up to at least 75% of what market value is... but what is that in relationship to what they're paying?
