You could ask the guys at the Home Depot Builders Desk for referrals they might know.I hope you get several answers that will help you. 

@Ramsin JacobUnfortunately, your description includes several misunderstandings which are too long to break apart in an online post.

I was super excited when it was only at like $16k a few hours before the auction ended, but by 7am it sold for just shy of $100k - piece of land with similar qualities sold for more than 3 times that earlier this month, so still don't think the winner got a bad deal I just don't have that budget.I couldn't bring myself to pay several hundred for a piece of land I couldn't even legally build anything on.I have a feeling other counties farther from Boise and perhaps without the online auctions may have better deals.Still, it was a really good learning experience.

I have used several of the most common beginner strategies in order to acquire real estate and grow my portfolio.

I hope you get several answers that help you make a decision. 

Chukwudi, we manage several homes for out of country investors and there is a fair amount of considerations both initially as well as afterward. 

I've sold several properties where the mortgage was in my name but I had moved the property into an LLC. 

For several reasons. 

Both these are severely low, as there are similar houses on the same street w/ no garage & that still needed work done for 265k.
