Knowing that the home owner has done an absolutely awful job of marketing the property (like I mean, not even putting one interior pic online), and considering he wants to move on and build a home, I feel like if I walked in with a check for $100K, he should be happy, not insulted.  

@Matthew Pinkston:  I have been searching for somewhere online that I can connect with people that have the experience in real estate investing that I can go to for advice and help guide me.  

You could not have picked a better online research to educate yourself.

Hello fellow BP members:I recently acquired a condo in Lancaster, CA via an online auction. 

The second mortgage was attached to an alternate spelling of the owner's name and for some reason I'm still unable to do a record search by legal description of the property (name) on the Palm Beach Clerk's online system.  

Hi,For a rental property, you can take a loan from online lenders.

I even asked if there was way to get to them online and she said no...

You bring each name forward to today.In Mass a lot of this is on line at least going back 20-30 years.

That's very affordable.You should be able to check comparable rents on-line to find out what rents you could reasonably get for those two units.Regarding legality of two units on one parcel of land, check with the local Building Inspector, or Zoning Board.If it wasn't a three-hour drive from me, I'd buy it.

I've taken over properties that were worse and I've seen worse online.
