I am swinging the baseball bat in the real world here not in the longshot fantasy world of zero down deals for a newbie.Cash is king...Location, location, location.Good Luck!

We are a local chicago mortgage banker and have very competitive products to help you with creative financing and also your portfolio of single families as well!

At competitive market rates now and still have original tenants.

That means they can get a 50% discount on the winning bid.If that's the case, they a) knew they'd kill the competition by smashing it to $200,000 and b) know they weren't going to pay any more than $100,000 for the house. 

Now it takes a lot more money, there's more competition, and your investment will earn less of a return.I bought 33 units and 135 storage units in six years, and they earn me over $150,000 net per year.

That should keep both of you happy and eliminate the feel of competition between you both.

Your market competition will give you an idea of the value experience you can bring to your guests.
