Below are my concerns:1)Since I did not meet the time frame A.com set forth can they take the $2,500.00 I had to put up on my credit card in order to bid on this home?

Where can I find tax info if it's not in the assessor's property card?

I believe that they put your credit card deposit on hold an release the Friday after the event.

Plays cards right, may be able to live rent free for 4 years if gets enough renters.  

A broker can give you a starbucks card or something like that but they cannot pay a referral fee to a non licensed person. ( in most states)

All tenant files and unit keys are kept in a secure area, locked.We enter financial data from bank statements/check carbons, credit cards statements and mortgage statements into Quicken and print out financial reports for our tax professional as needed.

Business Identity - create a name, address, phone number, business cards, etc.2.  

I agree with others saying that you could use credit cards.

When we deliver our holiday gift cards, door-to-door, we will also look to see if holiday decorations are used safely and look to see that the outdoor spigot covers (that we put on with the change of weather) are still on with no hoses attached.We do more frequent check-ins and inspections with new tenants.

I think you can still get a loan just to cure back taxes in priority position (Texas is an anomaly state as to this possibility).Or, You can use a credit card to pay the taxes. $18,000 @ 18% = $457.08/ mo for (5) years.Use potential rent as your guide for how much property will support in payments.
