I recently purchased a GREAT deal in a foreclosure auction with a ton of equity up front.

Are there a handful that dominate > 80% of available auctioned houses?

The home was purchased in 2018 for $345,000 from an auction.

That said, my flips have varied in price; buying as low as $110 in wholesale/auction, to paying as much as $500k in Frisco for something that’s about $25/ft below market.

People come on here asking for mentors all the time and it usually seems like they want the mentor to teach them everything they know about something (i.e. flipping, buying at auctions, etc). 

I am focused on these because I heard auctions are normally cash only (not enough cash to purchased) and REO may be marked up by the time they reach a site like Zillow or HAR.com.

The second property is also a home run with great upside and has already been fixed and I picked it up off auction.

What you have obtained is a "Tax Lien Certificate" with a yearly interest rate that accumulates monthly, and it could be redeemed at any time by the owner via paying the County the amount of taxes owned + interest accrued during those months. if it is so then the county will pay you back your principal ($2800+ interest accrued)If after a Redemption period of one year, you have no received your investment back, then you contact the tax collector office to let them know that you want to apply for the deed of the property that you are holding the tax lien certificate.After application is completed, the Tax collector Office sends the application to the Clerck office for review and to schedule a Tax Deed Auction. 

There’s no for sale or auctions listed for this property either.
