And of course for the fix and flipper in state the sale to a turn key buyer was easier than a home owner the inspections were easier and they could do volume.

Here's another but for SL County. http://www.saltlakecountyauditor.org/site/tax-sale...I haven't verified this yet but I asked my usual title company about tax deeds and title searches and they told me they are too small to help with high volume searches but that First American Title offers some type of program for investors to do high volume title checks for auction settings like these. 

I don't know that it would cost you $160 like @Kenneth LaVoie posted so many years ago, but it would be in the $50 and up  range + court fees if there was no real volume.

I have to turn away section 8 tenants from the volume I get from there.

, OR claims are very hard to get approved and paid, OR they are very, VERY good at getting and collecting on judgments against the tenants (my thinking is, unlikely).I know it's a volume business, but all you need is one in five tenants to have a $500 claim made against them, and you're sunk.

But you need to do it in volume or the credit agencies ignore you.

While a strong buyer with plenty of cash or a strong line of credit, and proven marketing and sales experience might turn this around if the problem of financing the homes could be solved (the volume is too small for most seller finance solutions and outside lenders would run from paper there) people with the skills and resources would not bother.

Turn key companies get volume discounts on materials and suppliesTurn key companies have more leverage with contractors and have cheaper construction costsThere are no construction cost overruns when you buy a turn key.

I don't know if it is the bum, but that the flushing is inefficient for the volume, maybe too much to to too, so if it stacks up, a plunger won't work. but don't call a plumber!

Their business relies on volume and turns (of inventory).
