My best suggestion to you Clayton is to find a investor friendly realtor. perhaps a courtesy gift card to them. also get to networking if your Close to north Houston check out Flippinghoustonhomes.com great group I recently started attending.

This creates a WIN-WIN Situation and gives the Realtor incentive, to work harder on your behalf.

I ultimately decided to stay closer to home until I get some wins under my belt. 

I won an Auction on a Bank Owned property, and it is still occupied. Not sure whether the former owner or a tenant is residing there. Looking for some good advice on how to proceed since this I have zero experience wi...

Banks - Ally is safest @ gives 1%, cds/ local credit unions around 2%, lmcu(lake michigan cu) - 3% till 15k I think, some prepaid cards give 5% with some work(check doctorofcredit blog)..

Could you use a credit card?  

Wondering how go about getting the correct documents/money if you're not sure what the winning bid would be.  

I could not hardly get a Mendards credit card, but i had two house loans in my name.

I personal have 50-60k in debt from 3 vehicle loans, student loans, credit cards.

Start your website ASAP and have its address on your card.
