The forelcosure auctions in my home State of Florida are all online.

You may need to do a little work to close up some access points, but I doubt this is a huge undertaking.

Jackie has a good point that much of it is free on line.

Asheville has just recently started to feel like it's beginning to come back online, but a long ways to go for a full recovery.

Is the information about “In MA, tenants generally have 30 days to pay repair costs...” available somewhere online? 

You can also ID potential properties that seller may accept a price 10%+ below their asking price.You should still have my calendar access link in the DM area here, so get on my calendar if you'd like to discuss more:)

Friends, family, or you might be able to access funds via a HELOC, cash value from a life insurance policy, take a loan out on your car, etc. 

Review their online financials/annual statements.

These lenders can be an excellent option for quicker access to funds if you're ready to move on to the next property.
