After you win a bid you have to pay for the property with certified check till 1 PM next day plus 119$ court fee.

If they pay their bills that is your only concern. 

With these changes, the portfolio is now expected to be about -$2,300 / month cash flow.I am considering a few options and would love this communities opinions:Option 1) Sell property 1 to pay entire mortgage of property 5 (highest interest rate) -- Pro: Improves cash flow by ~$1,600 / month. 

Obviously, from this thread, I should be offering to pay the state 10-20% of what they ask me, reasoning that no one else will buy them and that I have a reasonable plan to get them actively producing taxes again.  

Are you paying them?

Thanks, did you pay for his land course or is there link that will guide me in best direction?  

They would receive 5/6 of the cash flow, pay for 5/6 of any repairs and expenses, and receive 5/6 of the proceeds from a sale.

I flat rate the water by person in each unit, include it in the monthly rent and pay directly.

We use the rent to pay 90% of our bills and see at least a 10% return on our appreciation every year, year after year.

They may have switched companies and didn't pay the original provider.
