LOLI decided that living on Social Security is really not how I pictured myself living, way back when.

I am not a social butterfly, and often deal with social anxiety, but I feel that this is something that shouldn't keep me from getting into this. 

Go to local real estate investing meetingsTalking to people, attend HOA meetings, realtor meetings, get social and tell people what you're doing.

US bank said I'd have to sign under my social security number. 

You may have to do some further digging and/or social engineering to get in contact with them, or at least send a few postcards to each of their properties.Goodluck out there!

The detached houses are built on narrow streets with large front porches for socializing.

All the way from New York City to New Haven take a compass and draw a semi-circle.  

Depending on what type of business, you may also be obligated to pay sales tax, self- employment, social security, and medicare taxes, make estimated tax payments, pay duties, etc E.I.N Number.

If you do have a social security number and credit profile you could borrow up to 90% of the purchase + 90% of the rehab for the properties you won't keep.    

@Valentina Woodson, I would try to find their phone or email via the Internet, social media sites, etc and if you do not have luck pay $10-$20 for a skip trace.
