The highest return has been a house I bought at an auction that needed very little work.

Online lien certificate auctions with rates that start ay 18% and go down from there.

As far as the plan goes right now I am attending some auctions in my area to get an idea of what properties sell for as well as checking out lots of houses on mls in the same area to better my idea on pricing.

We have recently started going to the courthouse auctions and were thinking about this for auction properties if we could get them really cheap.

So, the winner of such an auction, or the lien holder if there are no bidders, becomes the owner.

If I don't use it, that waste probably offsets the minimal savings so not sure it is really worth it.I do think about attending the Peak Building supply auction when they are in town but I never have.

The only time I've seen a list price with no comps is when there was a auction the agent was trying to avoid came up.

People have many different strategies for finding investment properties including yellow letter campaigns, working with REO brokers, foreclosure auctions, MLS, etc.I am not sure why people have told you to stay away from listed homes.

New to tax deed sales. Can I hire someone to attend an auction and bid for me if the county does not have online sales?

Buying at an auction is very risky.
