At the Salt Lake Courthouse there is a table with 5 computers on it that you are free to use that are connected to the court database.Remember that each case will be at different stages. 

I am no pro at estimating gut rehab costs because I have only done superficial renovations.The current possible deal on the table is that I get a 5 day inspection contingency (during which earnest money is refundable) but if my financing falls through then it is not refundable.

The original vinyl was an off grey brick pattern and the new  vinyl that was replaced, under a table area where chairs had ripped the floor, was a greenish yellow flower pattern..It was awful. 

you don't unless you find a unicorn...someone that is going to pony up the $$ and let you be part of the deal for some reason because you bring something to the table that they can't.So it can be done....... not impossible..... but rare.If you don't have the $$ to start....advertisements.....down payments....etc etc..... then you don't have the $$ for inspections....closings....reserves for Cap Ex etc etc etc etc etc......

And I had the epiphany, most of us at the table would be interested in the same house. 

I doubt anyone can beat you but it's worth seeing what everyone can bring to the table.

I have a pool of 40 family/friend investors who are counting on me to bring good deals to table for potential action. 

I am a little caught off guard as any buyer is going to bring these same issues to the table. 

I am also facing shutting down my LLC.The 2nd contractor called me later and told me she was suing her manager because of the shoddy work and paying people under the table, so now I have to show up for a court date to testify.

My friend just got a consolation loan from some third party though credit karma to pay off his credit card debt, then since most credit cards report to the credit bureaus usually weekly, within a week his credit score shot up to 740.
