Section 23 is a huge win and eliminates the need for all the goofy "weasel clauses".  

All that being said, here are our specific criteria (we want to remain w/in these set boundaries for our first project):- SFR in greater Sac area- Acquisition Cost: 250k +/- 25k- Rehab Cost: 35k +/- 15k- ARV: 400k +/- 50kPlease comment below if you can help us w/ any stage of the process, from acquisition to closing.

Actually the first deal I ever did took 4 months that was not fun.Although my buyers do pay all closing costs everything is negotiable I try to make everything a win win. 

I think this could be a good rental home if could be renovated for $50K or less and have good equity.The County Clerk's website says the winning bidder is not responsible for back taxes and then immediately says, "Current property taxes and special assessments, charges, and taxes may be the responsibility of the successful bidder". 

^If you win they will typically go after the Broker/Individual to recover the money they had to pay you.

So if that is the case, try to figure out a win-win situation.  

B) Negotiate a purchase price that creates a win-win-win situation; Sign a contract with the seller(s); then, prepare to DOUBLE-CLOSE.Brainstorm your potential strategies.

I ended up winning the property for $180,000, and there were three other bidders as well.It was an excellent buy because the location was absolutely prime, and the condition of the property was more than fair (after repairs would've been done).

In my county in Florida, winning auction purchases have to be funded by 4pm the same day you win the auction that morning.

Always remember to persist and you will WIN!!!
