You can easily do this by buying an older edition on Amazon, asking questions on sites like Biggerpockets, and building your own network.  

My wife and I have just closed on our first property and I am actually taking this week, to clean and refinish some areas of the house.

I look forward to the education I will get from spending time on the BiggerPockets site.

Typically that can be a little work to get rid of but manageable, with renovation, cleaning, and extermination.

I went to the Cook County Assessor site and found it is being assessed as a 4 unit. 

Schedule it so they have time to pick up their underwear, put the bongs away and clean up the unit as they see fit to do so.

There are a lot of great resources on this site and people to help.Attend local REIA meetings and connect with like-minded investors: http://www.biggerpockets.com/meetRead the Beginner’s Guide: http://www.biggerpockets.com/real-estate-investingListen to the BP Podcasts: http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/category/podcast/

All that is needed is to finish - cleaning, floors, baseboards, decorating, etc.) 

@Brian Reynolds yes DM me BP are so strict about posting emails and numbers wich is strange especially for a paid site

HI BP -I'm wondering if there are any local REI professionals that purchase from live auctions, Auction.com, or any other sites?
