Would anyone suggest doing a title search using a lawyer in this area for this particular property?

Please help or tag a lawyer that can!

I highly recommend  you look into that.Something you might want to look into before you get started1) Soak up as much info as you can so that you know what you're doing.2) Pick a niche and try not to get distracted by various means of investing.3) Build your team before hand - insurance agent, local community banks, lawyer, realtor, property manager and handymen.4) Run numbers on a LOT of properties just to get familiar with the process.5) Research on neighborhoods that work out for you.6) Network.

Don't quote me on that I'm not a lawyer.

Call the bank's lawyer and ask what the upset price is.

I think that's where my lawyer was coming from.

Anybody have any recommendations for a good landlord lawyer in Wisconsin? 

Anyway, you have some good advise already.Without playing lawyer, you probably are not at fault but if the court was sympathetic you could end up owing money.

I said I would be open to it.I need to talk it over with a lawyer of course, but before I do I thought I'd bounce the idea off of everyone here first and get my ducks in a row.Here is how I am thinking of doing it....
