Don't want to get into any fair housing complaints and I also don't want to prevent anyone else from applying. 

When I used to coach my sports teams (many), I used to ask my players if they were nervous, then I asked them if they were scared. 

If there's a junior lien holder (2nd position) on a property that is going into foreclosure, can that lien holder make a short sale offer on the property, or is there something that prevents that?  

I believe the better place to control the duct work is closer to the furnace, because it helps prevent the heated air from even traveling down the duct, to a closed vent.

And if you are serious about investing you will want to have one that you enjoy working with, as you will most likely keep them around for a long time, and they will be the centerpiece for your team, and will usually have all other players in their back pocket (Lenders, Contractors, property managers, and so on).

It prevents quite a bit of headache. 

Account Closed I'd make a short list of the midwestern cities you're interested in, the take advantage of pandemic to participate in on line meetups before they go back to in person, which will give you unique insight into neighborhoods and major players in each area. 

But I realized I am a team player.
