This means if rent has gone up it is due to increasing expenses across the board including the costs to repair properties.

Hire a home inspector to evaluate the property condition. 9 years vacant means it will likely need work.Warranties do not cover everything.

3-Lets say I bought one of these judgments and I know there is no mortgage or liens on the property will I be the owner directly or is there any other steps i need to do I heard that I need to close in 30 days or so which i have no idea about.4-Lets say I bought one that has a 1st mortgage and Im liable for it...what should I do I mean whats the next step after wining the bid at the auction.5- Another Scenario: a company suing and owner and won the judgment for 550k (the owner has 2 properties one of them is a land that worth around 80k in the market and the other is a house that worth about 600k) the sheriff is selling the land only at the auction not the house, what happens if I win the bid will I just get the land and the company suing the owner will go after the house that hasn't been scheduled for sale yet to satisfy the rest of the judgment?

I am of the opinion that putting up ANY of YOUR OWN money to fund a JV as a means of "learning and earning" is a mistake if you don't know what you're doing yet.That said, "learning and earning" is great.

Bank financing means a slow close...

What I mean is it possible to get into cash flow rentals while I myself is currently a tenant?

As a buyer, you want the lowest possible price, even if that means the seller gets less than they really could have. 

This will help you in a few ways - it'll help keep you motivated to find a property (so you can have your own space) and allow you to build your war chest (as cheap/free rent means you can sprint towards any savings goals).
