This is one that intrigued me, though I totally agree there are some red flags.  

(if so, I totally blame BP for the idea!)

My initial research has been into - kane county foreclosure sales- researching liens online - practicing the 70% rule on the list of 2016 past and future foreclosures to see which properties sell for at or below max offer amounts and to see if i can tell what indicators set these appart from those that sell at foreclosure beyond the 70% rule amounts?

I set it up to collect rent payments online (via cozy.co) and do regular yardwork, where I occasionally see them.

My wife and I are getting started on the real estate investing journey, and are looking forward to networking with other like-minded people, both on-line and off-line, who are in the area or are possibly looking to invest in southeastern Wisconsin.

our county has an online GIS system that has all owners names and addresses. you could call the county it's located in and see if they have that system too. makes it super simple to look up all details.

My total out of pocket is $85k.From my understanding, it being 7 units, the property is appraised based on NOI/Cap rate.

There are many online schools and live classroom-based options, however I was encouraged to use Real Estate Express.

A total of 14.1% per month of gross rent!!  

I will be moving out and will receive another 1150 for that side total 2300.The concern I have is I took a loan out to fix the property.
