I know the strategy is similar to Wholesaling for marketing (postcard/yellow letter, Etc.) but I was wondering if anyone has purchased Raw land from Ebay/craigslist, Delinquent County Tax sales (OTC), Etc and been successful in the resale?

Hi Mary Anne- I use Garson Soe in Walnut Creek.

Pike township.Purchase price is $119,900Rent: $1,17520% down + closing cost: $26,858Principal + Interest (4.75%): $500Property Tax: $200Insurance: $60HOA: $18Property Management (8%): $94Vacancy (5%): $59Maintenance (5%): $59 Assuming I get $1,175 I am looking at $185 cash flow for a 8.2% CoC return. 

Regardless of which route you go being thorough with your accounting can save a lot headaches come tax time.Thanks,MH

Taxes and water vary a lot from town to town here.What is nice about quads, is they qualify for fixed rate financing.

Underwriters are going to look at the cash flow from your tax returns in analyzing the rentals. 

THEN when I was selling it  4 months later, we discovered that they did not pay all the taxes.

You can also add in tax sales and REO's to get some good deals.

However be mindful of the tax consequences.
