Once I do that I have some funds saved and a close friend who has already expressed interests in investing in flips to fund reno. 

I'm sure you've heard the expression: "Quality, Speed, Cost.

If you do go the online route, my wife used real estate express.

I have been interested in REI for some 20 plus years but due to circumstances I won't express here I put those desires to the side. 

We're talking like an hour+ express train to Manhattan. 

If buyer does not purchase title insurance, buyer will receive a Quitclaim Deed or equivalent, with no express or implied warranties of title.

Take them out to lunch, email them, express to them your criteria and goals and start to leverage their network. 

I did that with my first lead and sure enough I had the relationship in place already.BTW, a lead= Owner of a property who has expressed his/her will to sell.

That neighbor has harassed my tenant from day one, and has continued to try to establish a friendship which she has expressed multiple times she does not want.Thanks!

I don't want to transfer my properties away from my current manager, but he does not return my calls, and makes me feel like I am a bother when I express my concerns.I was so very pumped up to get into investment real estate, but now that I am having huge monthly payments for my taxes, mortgages, and insrurance, yet rarely am I getting rental income, I fear I am on the wrong path.If there are any property managers or investors that work in Hammond, Gary, Hobart, or Merrillville that could offer me an experienced opinion, I would be grateful.
