I keep a card for each one of my loans that I can easily see all of my balances and payments. 

If someone played the "I magic'ed it from the Internet" card on me I'd hang up in a heartbeat.

Instead of deflating my savings and rental homes reserve funds I decided to use two of my credit cards that have zero interest for 12 months and I paid that excess 10k so that older gentleman could have the title...

We made a bit less than we "should have", put all the repairs on credit cards and used up our 30k in savings (stressful!!!)

The house was vandalized throughout, copper was stolen, furnace destroyed, water damage in lower level, roof was leaking near front door, etc.This house all in all was a simple house for a rehab for the most part.Major issue: The biggest problem we faced was the crawl space was full of water. 

I need to ramp up a LinkedIn profile, have someone help me with business card design, etc. 

HomeSearch.com won't give any more information, until you register and let them put a hold on your credit card for $2500 to qualify for bid.The friend also mentioned, without looking at interiors he can guarantee that this house need new paint and new carpets for sure, but he can get us better idea on rehab cost later today.Few questionsHow do you bid on this without looking at the interiors?

You can buy a new access card the next time you need to repeat the process.As others have said, google voice is a great temporary option, if you have a phone and can get it set up.

For instance, the elderly are going to look at your flashy nice card very differently than a young millenial.

You could track down the owners using public records through the Public Trustee or Tax assessor (not sure if you have property taxes where you are) and write or send a post card expressing interest in buying the property.
