@Forrest Brown,  I'm never a fan of telling anyone that writing a check for taxes is the best idea, but it does depend on your goals and your potential tax liability upon sale. 

Most of the OOS markets investors target do not have much appreciation potential, are lower end properties that will have ongoing issues and will not give the OP the opportunity to self manage his units to gain true real estate experience and understanding.

Any advice, tips, or potential collaboration opportunities would be warmly welcomed.Thank you for taking the time to read my introduction.

I've got all of my ducks in a row (financing, agent, multiple potential deals).

There is however an "upset price" which is an UNOFFICIAL bid made by the lawyer representing the lender that foreclosed.

If you want cash flow go to a market that has some potential, Killeen Texas. 

Try looking into zillow/Redfin and see what your potential rents you can get near the neighborhood by filtering the bedrooms/bathrooms of the intentional property that you are planning to buy.

@Dean ValadezBased on your initial statement, you bought this property with value add potential.

Background check potential tenants.

Personally, we are diving deep into buying and operating businesses that potential to conservatively achieve 20%+ cash on cash returns.
