I know that California is a Deed of Trust state so I am looking for information on how I can go about marketing (I was thinking about knocking on doors first), speaking with these type of sellers and the acquisition part overall.So a couple questions that I have are..What's the difference between Notice of Default and Notice of Trustee sale?

This is the tax on the profit from the sale of your property.

Looking forward to posting about the final product in September. 

One difference vs Ohio is that you'll get a newer nicer product with likely a more professional workforce renter, vs Ohio. 

My product hasn't gone to market yet, and already I'm facing stiff competition undercutting my price.

also how would I go about finding vacant land for sale my city ?

@William Willis  The tax sale is void.

The trustee will assess whether the sale aligns with the debtor's financial goals and the terms of the repayment plan.Equity Consideration: If the sale generates capital gains, the amount of equity gained from the sale might impact the Chapter 13 plan.

You should have billed them back for the damage at the time the sale as any other monies owed under the lease like a late fee.

Purchase price: $63,850 Cash invested: $214,000 Sale price: $265,000 I invested more than $150,000 in the renovation, and purchased for cash for $63,000 in November 2018.
