It was always a pain point, but it was a bad time to sell. 

The good and especially learning from the bad :) Looking to see if I can get any info on husband and wife teams-How do you work together?

They may have locked themselves out and tried to break in.If they are bad tenants, that's a separate issue.

The house is in bad shape needs a lot of work. 

I would like to continue Investing, but unsure if I take the job where I would like to live that it wouldn’t actually some what cripple my investing career.

I was super excited when it was only at like $16k a few hours before the auction ended, but by 7am it sold for just shy of $100k - piece of land with similar qualities sold for more than 3 times that earlier this month, so still don't think the winner got a bad deal I just don't have that budget.I couldn't bring myself to pay several hundred for a piece of land I couldn't even legally build anything on.I have a feeling other counties farther from Boise and perhaps without the online auctions may have better deals.Still, it was a really good learning experience.

Yes $40 is a lot but its also a very good way to weed out bad apples.

Depends on:1 - How many other potential tenants you have lined up2 - How bad you want to make moneyKeep this in mind. 

Reason 3 is especially bad for owners.

Likely the reason why you got this off of a tax deed is that the prior owners determined they couldn't do anything with the land either and quit paying the taxes rather than throwing good money after bad.
