.$100 for the search seems better than $3-15K for a lost deposit.Plan is to narrow down to 2/3 parcels, have the due diligence research completed, go to the auction with firm maximum bids, Win (at least something), either recoup my bid plus interest if a lien holder wants to maintain interest or wait the redemption period, go through quiet title process and either sell the property or keep it for CF.Any additional advice would be greatly appreciated.

I will be managing and maintaining the property myself (I’m a facilities maintenance tech).

Next, I'm fairly handy and do a large number of repairs and maintaence around my own home, but don't have much time or certainly not the time to maintain multiple units.  

@Andrey Y.You’d have to maintain a cellular plan here in the states.

Maintained positive cash flow while improving property.

Your lease does not say they have to maintain a temp.

It is another expensive appliance you will have to maintain and eventually replace, etc so weigh the cost benefit of providing this for your tenants.  

Meanwhile every house we maintain is paid for by someone else, we just have to schedule any necessary maintenance, in an oversimplified end point sort of idea.My wife and I were just talking about how we wished we never sold that property. 

I paid the tax's and she maintained the home..
