Selling property I bought at the tax deed auction

I bought property in Florida Tax deed auctions, there is no redemption here, however there could always be a possibility of extenuating circumstances.

I would like to turn around and sell these I don't suppose I could use a TAX Deed maybe only the country can use that form, I can use a quit claim. Was thinking of offering financing to the buyers. However these property's are on the low value side and investing $2000 in a quiet title suit would wipe out any profit from a sale. 

So am I opening myself up to lawsuits if a difficulty develops down the line for the buyer with a prior owner?

I would use a quit claim but still I don't want to cause any buyers to lose their money if something should happen.

Since you've purchased, you are going to have a certain unknown amount of exposure due to the nature of how you acquired title.

Attempting to monetize could be accomplished with a Grant or Warranty Deed and a Purchase Money Note secured by Trust Deed or Mortgage with a clause addressing the potential issue and who and how risk is to be born. 

I put these clauses in properties I buy to reverse risk back on seller.

Maybe Bill Gulley will weigh in.
