Riverside, CA Tax Deed Investing

[Seung Lee]

Can anyone who have purchased tax deed properties from Riverside chime in?  I purchased a property on May 5th and have been waiting to receive the recorded deed.  How long does it usually take them?

Also, given that owners have 1 year appeal period and title companies won't issue title insurance during that time, what do most buyers do with the property?  Just leave it alone?  Rent it out?  Take the chance and rehab it right away? 

Thanks for the answers.
