Technically we probably don't own it until deed is filed, but 90% probably empty anyway.I'm guessing you can't do a lot until you get deed filed....so probably tough to get insurance for example...but check with your agent and maybe several agents to see what they say.Our tax sales are superior to most liens like mortgage and HELOC, although almost nothing with mortgages go to the sale. 

If not, ask a local real estate agent.

I want to find agents and lenders for properties in the San Diego area.

This can be between 10% and 37% generally at the federal level (state taxes also apply).Gains from capital assets held longer than one year are taxed at LT gain rates, which range from 0% to 20% federally (state taxes also apply). 

I have tried to reach to that agent associated with it from BP.

It's very easy to get into a situation where the lender, property manager, and the insurance agent are all profiting more than you.

Most states require a licensed agent to show a property they don't have ownership in.So, your options:1) Find someone here on BP to illegally help you.

And he actually won because I allowed him to represent me on my purchase so he actually made roughly $15,000 on it, and it was his first transaction as a new agent.

Quick question...I am Ohio and connecting with private lenders to assist me in funding my next deal.If the purchase and transaction is with a real estate agent and you have a private lender for your loan, is that considered a "cash" purchase in terms of the real estate contract and telling the seller, or is that still considered financing?  

I would have your agent reach out to the listing agent and ask for more background information.
