If I do win the bid, when is the deposit due?  Can it be after my attorney does title search?  Also can the deposit be made with a credit card?  The reason I ask is, if there is a cloudy title, I can call credit card and get deposit back rather than waiting for Hubzu to send back whenever.

Thanks Rich..  The other costs I was referring to are i.e.  in addition to the Hubzu 4.5% fee and the $299 tech fee.  Besides typical title costs will they throw something else at me?  PS... can I add you to my contact list?  Its my first day on the site and I dont have any :(  You can be my first :)   Thanks again

Ive been investing in real estate for about 10 years now, usually doing flips. Instead of buying off bandit signs or the MLS I would like to try some auctions. To start, maybe Hubzu or Auction.com. I am hesitant for two reasons. First, unknown costs. Second, do I get a clear title? I would appreciate any info other auction buyers have. Thanks in advance

I went through the preliminary testing for an MBA.  Then a mentor said to me, "Instead of going to school all the time, go out and use what you have learned".  I did,  I have been in business for myself my entire life.  I feel that if you need to get a job with a company than a MBA should help you get in the door.  If you want to work for yourself, you don't need one.
