I have (fortunately) had the experience of living in the outskirts of Detroit and have very happy memories there.

I want to be very clear on this, because I have represented many REO listings and I used to get Selling Brokers presenting escalation clauses, regardless of how I explained to them that I only get the change to enter ONE sales price into the computer system for each offer.  

Here is how it works: The treasurer in your market may have a different procedure.Prior to the lottery, each person attending that wishes to purchase is assigned a number.The property/lien/certificate ("assets") that is being sold is announced.A computer puts all the numbers into a random order, and displays it.They call the numbers in order, one by one, and asks if that person wishes to purchase.Once someone affirms that they want to purchase, they stop calling numbers.That person gets to buy the asset at the posted or announced price.If the purchases fails to pay by the following day, then its sold at the posted price, first come first serve.They repeat the process for each individual asset.To answer your question, there is no bidding, If you get picked and choose to purchase, its all yours.

Most police departments now use CAD (Computer Aided Dispatch) and they can pull up all activity at any given address that they responded to.Just because a property is cheap, doesn't mean it's a good investment.

It's not that you and close family members, personal assistants, and partners will share ONE license even if it's just a short period of time for each (more like a "Seat License" where anyone at the computer).In a "Named User" model, you can typically let others use the license as long as it's just one person during the period -- a week, month, etc.

How are these "points" computed?

Im very excited because i got a tip from a family member. He told me about a small city, or town a couple of hours away from San Francisco were there's property from $90k to $200k WOW! With lot's of Motivated Seller's...

I want to take some time to make some improvements prior to renting it out but planning on being ready for Memorial Day weekend.

I went appliance shopping on craigslist the day after a big memorial day sale at HomeDepot when people were unloading their "used" appliances.

When you start a flip you 1:setup a new account2:create categories (ie, kitchen, bath, plumbing, landscaping, etc, etc)3: as you make purchases take pictures of the receipts via the phone app and choose the category 4: via the web browser (computer) portal you the administrator can go through and verify all the incoming receipts5: then you can create reports showing who's spending how much on what very easily
