Marty True I wrote the contract in a way that he acknowledged his lack of tenancy and a termination date.

I️ did not go and talk to them before the final Court date on the last deal.

There is a date that you have to exercise the Purchase by (usually).

Currently the industry standard for online leads ends up with a 70% loss. 

I plan to use real estate commissions as well as growing equity in my primary residence to jump into Buy and Hold (Specifically BRRRR) at a later date and work towards building cash flow from rentals. 

Here has everything you need from free online educational videos to connecting to other investors, you can't go wrong on this site!

When a lease or state regulations say to pay by such and such date that is the date that late fees can be charged not the date the rent is late.If rent is due on the 1st and not received by midnight then you issue a pay or quit notice the very next morning.

@Jeff Unruh Mecklenburg County, NC has a very robust online tool for search tax foreclosures to include narrowing searches by property type. http://mapserver.mecklenburgcountync.gov/foreclosures/Vacant land presents a whole host of potential problems that may inhibit a quick flip.

But check out Cozy.co - its a simple online payment/tenant portal site.

 all awesome info...I relate to this as I am often out of country..I have bought through trusted eyes for a buy/hold, never a flip.....could you chime in on either..1.regarding an online auction purchase, and seemingly growing trend... they seem to all say "as is", no contingencies, no views, no diligence...how in goodness name can you confidently make an offer on an online auction w/ no walk through contingency?
