@Brittany Dent It depends..what type of auctions you are speaking about?

@Andrew Bosworth What type of peroperties are you looking for ?

@Steven Burrows What is it that you are looking to accomplish by usuing them ?

@Shannon X. go to your counties clerk of courts website and search around for a calendar. The upcoming auctions will generally be posted there on a specific date . Once you click on a date you should be able to see the list of properties. I wouldn't recommend paying for a "Property List" its all public information.

Hope this helped, Good luck !

@Steve Lohbeck To answer your question yes but like @Simon Campbell said you have to know what you are doing.

as long as you know what liens the property holds, you inspect the property yourself and familiarize yourself with the neighborhood you will be okay.

I buy Properties all through out florida through tax deed auctions and to give you an example here are the last two properties i bought this past month.

First one bought for 14k sold for 28k.

Second apartment for 21 under contract for 34k.

You don't need a massive amount of capital to begin either its all about the numbers and percent return on your money.

Take a look at some of my other deals through my website as well hopefully it will inspire you to pursue auctions and disregard any negativity just be well informed.

Best of luck!

@Dailin Fajardo Congratulations on your move into the real estate industry! This is coming from an investors point of view: It is very irritating and tire some when you meet others and they ask you 21 questions then i ask do you have any properties available or what investment opportunities do you currently have? and they respond with " we'll I'll add you to my mailing list so when..." Before going after demand (investors) you need supply (Properties) to be able to close the deal then and there.

I wholesaled myself thats how i started as well. Just know that once its under contract nothing else matters but turning that property over so you really need to hustle within those 7-10 business days.

I actually have a wholesaling course i bought a couple of years ago for like 5k.

I'd be more than glad to hand it over and help you with this

@Daryl Venables Welcome to the real estate industry! Before you pay for a mentor contact me i will be more than glad to help you.

@Ervin Alex The miami market is getting really hot due to all the money coming in from over seas however there are still plenty of deals all over you just have to be consistent in your work and keep searching for them.

The reason MOST people don't invest in condos is because of the "hoa" fees. The trick is buying a property for the right price so that doesn't matter.

I buy properties through tax deed auctions in 13 different counties here in florida.

I usually purchase these properties for 60-70 cents on the dollar then resell them for market values making big returns.... So if you were purchasing properties like that ask yourself would hoa fees really matter? No.

Don't be discouraged by others Condos are great. Just make sure you do the numbers right.

@Account Closed Congratulations on your decision and welcome into the industry! i think you should keep a couple of things into consideration.

What is your future goal? what field really interest you ? rentals? flips ? etc etc.

I think looking into the future will help you develop a plan for how you mold your resume and where you work.

Good luck !

My family has been in the real estate industry for over 30 years dealing in both commercial and residential and the best strategy as far as safety and profitability goes (that's what matters) would be through tax deed auctions which is what i have dedicated myself to now.

You cant go wrong with this.

You can purchase a property for 60-70 cents on the dollar fix her up then resell it for market values.

Its obviously a bit more complexed than that but look at some of the properties i have purchased through tax deed auctions.
