You should do lots of research and drive by each property that you might bid on.It depends on the laws in your state as to how string your tax deed is.I have been very luck and now have a nice portfolio of tax deed houses.I am also currently litigating a tax deed property where the precious owner is trying to over turn the county issued deed.With proper research you can mitigate a lot of the risk.There is  lot of information on the BP forums that you can study on tax liens.

Also home offices haven't been a red flag in quite a while since now so many people work remotely.ANDHaving a home office increases the qualifying deductible miles you have substantially since it converts drive time from home to REI related things from non-deductible commuting to deductible miles.
