I am currently reading through the FLIP book which I heard about here and has a lot of information, I am currently getting multiple bids on a number of items for my current project while they are doing title search. 

. - I decided I didn't want to mess with it because Im starting another project with higher potential return.Now, as an example, I look at this one:https://www.zillow.com/homes/63-GRANVUE-DRIVE-BELL...Its on the Auction block, if I picked it up for 2 or 3k, and sold it for 10k to someone else who wants to work with it, essentially a wholesale deal, and didn't spend any money fixing it up, and agreed to max 1k realtor fees if any, I might make some money on it.If you go to our county tax assessor site, and search '63 Granvue', youll see that 1) the total taxes for 2018 are $2981.38, and 2) they are paid by the bank already for 2018 http://www.co.st-clair.il.us/Pages/parcel.aspxWhat I am asking is - if I bought this at auction, and sold it within a couple of months as a property someone else can rehab, how would the property taxes work / what would I end up paying? 

Yes, it’s called a non-renewal notice; if you search for that term you should be able to find one specific to your state.

With enough units you could benefit from discounts.I'll send you a direct message with more considerations when searching for a PM.

I ask because I was on rent.com and when I searched an area near me, there were some places with tons of rentals and other places with square miles of land that has plenty of homes there but none for rent.

Use the search function on "househacking"
