Quote from @Blake Grzybowski: I am a wholesaler in Michigan and would like to start reaching out to potential sellers who are Maybe foreclosuresdaily.com, maybe see if any of your title company partners has access to titlepro software for leads. 

Write as yourself, not a company, and tell them you are trying to buy your first property in your own backyard and would love to have a conversation whether they want to sell or not (they probably know someone else).

The city's macroeconomics is looking great - lots of population and job growth due to the booming tech scene and many companies choosing to move and develop here.

Just call a local title company, find one with good reviews, and ask them to give you an idea of the fees. 

I would suggest contacting companies for each trade and get an average bid from each sub. 

- Lastly I would also consider recommendations for a company who offers HELOCS (NOT cash out refi) for rental properties.

We paid them 9% interest (they put a private mortgage on the property) and give them 19% membership interest in the holding company LLC How did you add value to the deal?

Hello,I have invested in a few properties meant for long-term renting.I have also since started a rental property management company that operates in areas we know very well (ascendiadynamics.com)Porto and Lisbon are very expensive areas at the moment. 

I also do consulting from time to time to share how leverage and build a profitable holding company or fix/flip entity.

Its not near any major cities where someone might look at it as a long play for path of progress.Another option might be to see if a solar farm or wind farm company might be interested once its clear cut.
