We have done a couple deals so have proof of concept, but looking to do more.I've traveled throughout the states as an auditor, so I've seen a lot of different markets and I'm always looking for new opportunities.

@Kurt Baltutat Go to your local county auditor and pull lists of 2-4 unit multi family homes, skip trace the owners, and get calling.

I go to the state auditors page to see what will be for sale.

You also mention you paid them in cash - you have no way to support this then, under audit you would be screwed and this would also make the auditor question anything else you have going on.  

. $20 an hour will get you someone who knows QB software and can input transactions, but likely not someone that can design and maintain your books at a quality level.Source: I'm an auditor.

Get a list of tax delinquent properties from you county auditor or treasurer.

Then go to the county auditor real estate website and find the owner.

The property appears to have accumulated another $4K in unpaid taxes, according to the auditor's site.

Others can correct me if I'm mistaken, but I've been told that the auditor here in Hamilton county generally recognizes arm's-length transactions (such as ones listed on the MLS) to be considered an appropriate valuation of the property.

"Auditors took the leading role in developing GAAP for business enterprises.[3] Accounting standards have historically been set by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) subject to Securities and Exchange Commission regulations.[4] The AICPA first created the Committee on Accounting Procedure in 1939, and replaced that with the Accounting Principles Board in 1959.
