.We are in the due diligence period and I haven't sold a property before so I appreciate the help.

I am very new to Tax deed investing in the CA US.

This includes principal, interest, taxes, homeowners insurance and mortgage insurance!

I am an out of state investor and trying to do all my due diligence before making the move

i bought property at tax sale auction in Dekalb county Georgia, over 12 months ago, now i am doing barment,  i published ad news paper,  i sent 30 days notices to ex owners and all parties might have interest,  and the property now it empty / unoccupied.my question is: if 30 days notice expired and no body redeemed, can i enter the property and start to fix / repair the property, and rent it??

I’ve been told if you personally close your own account it will affect your credit, and that if a bank closes your account due to inactivity, it does not affect your credit. 

After expenses and mortgage, I end up with a net cash flow of anywhere b/w $150-$250 which I find rather small, and I wonder if this could even get eaten up by tax filing time.

Those people would have done well regardless just due to their level of pursuit.

Welcome Brandon - I have properties here in the wyoming valley.I am a native to the area.Scranton has many hoops to jump as an investor - esp. an out of the area investor.One is you'd have to hire a property manager if you do not live in the city of Scranton or within 20 miles of the city.Real estate taxes are high -that plus the current interest rate and ask prices makes cash flow an issue.You can find "deals" but please do your due diligence.Here is an example of a potential deal I am evaluating in the hill section of the city: 20 y/o, 2000 sq ft. 3b/3bath TH - Needs paint, new carpeting, and general wear and tear repairs after a 4 year tenant.

I recently received a letter stating that due to our property not performing up to standards, they will automatically be reducing our collections % down from 58% to 50%.
