I’ve never bought a tax sale before and am curious about how it works and if I should do it.

You only need to put 3.5% down, so cashwise it won't get in the way of other real estate goals you may have.My first deal was a 4-unit up I bought with FHA 3.5% in Santa Clarita.I lived for free (as opposed to paying rent) + enjoyed cash flow + built equity.

My friend who bought his primary residence in 2014 has his home appreciated by about 500k.

I opened the jar and found 3 loose diamonds, two diamond ear rings, a sapphire ring, and a gold ring.

My inlaws bought a home with a finished basement and within 2 months the paint bubbled and moldy.

If you sell a property you bought as a primary residence and have lived in for 2 out of the previous 5 years you can sell it and take the 121 exemption gain tax free.   

There is no seasoning ever for the delayed financing exception assuming you paid cash for a property.I meant 1 year seasoning for a cash-out refinance based on post-rehab appraised value for a property bought with cash. 

Except we bought 3 in 10, 21 and 44.

When I bought my houses in downturn, I was buying homes from 25 k to 40 k.
