The main highlights: I started investing when was 23 when I purchased two houses at an auction.

You might be able to pick up a house for say $20K that rents for $450/mo.In one such area I was talking with a real estate auctioner. who told me that he graduated from high school in that area in 1964 and that the number in graduating class then was the same as today.

Go to any local sheriff's auction and they will be there.

Like I said, if a wholesaler is going to squeeze you just like a bank, seller or auctioneer then I might as well just take a pass on their services.I'm a firm believe in laying your cards down and hammering out a mutually beneficial deal.

Their cabinets take a little more work to assemble, but they are cheap and high-quality.The cheapest place for tile I've found is a wholesale builder's auction in Baltimore that's held once a month and is open to the public (Southern Sales).Sincerely,Rob

thanks for the advice Matt Devincenzo, when i looked at the tax collectors site it showed a pdf file of the purchase of the tax deed. it showed a certified paper from the county to the current owner from the auction where they payed the back taxes for it. and in the sales info for that parcel number it says tax deed in the title box. am i assuming correct that it is a tax deed by that information. wouldnt it show as a tax lien certificate if otherwise?

Problem is if you can't buy the lien directly and have to wait for auction, it will probably get bid up tens of thousands.

I bought it from a state auction.

It’s different from auctions since you risk having a redemption period where the owner can come back and claim the property 8-12 months if they have cash.

We have HMLs that can move pretty fast here and can fund within 48 hours; actually, half of the local HMLs can fund same-day at the auction.
