Hello,With regard to title searches, what actions are necessary prior to buying a house at sheriff's sale? 

Hello, new here and really looking to just kick the tires. Currently in the Tampa area and looking to partner with someone who has experience in the local areas in flipping houses after rehabbing.  What i can bring to...

I've googled and searched but can't find any of the posts - though I know I've read them.  

If not, I suggest you keep an eye on this thread (in-search-for-a-great-educational-book-for-rental-properties) and plenty to choose from this thread list of books.

I know people speak against it, but I use Zillow to search recently sold comps to help me determine an ARV on these homes and have been for the most part spot on, because I am conservative.I want to move into small multi-family, 2-8 unite.

This has been a tough search due to our financial situation with my student loan burden and relatively low resident salary.

I know everyone recommends finding an attorney to review your documents but then how do you know your selecting the right attorney.

Yes, that is true, but you can also search by the date the case was opened and further refine that search by individual city or town. 

How has the search been going? 

Can I ask what made you choose north Minneapolis to start your search or your main focus for investing?
