Before I ask my first question, i figured I'd introduce myself and give you all a brief background of myself.I'm a middle aged, family man, searching for financial freedom.

If it works out as a rental, oh well - maybe I spent more than I need to on the renovation, but at least I hedged my bets and saved myself some worry in the process.Being 3000 miles away, I cannot realistically search for closeout sinks or shop for granite tile.

I think they pull a record every time you apply for a quote which may affect their pricing tools.

I am in search of a knowledgable attorney who understands fair lawn rent control ordinances.

I feel like I could be pretty resilient from investing in the stock market for a few years but I guess I will never know if a bad deal would permanently scare me off or not since I've never owned a home before.Do you think rather than finding an amazing deal it would suffice for now simply to find something that could reduce what I would be spending on rent somewhere and then continue to search for good deals?

The thing Im searching for the hardest is to get a couple of ideas on how to start saving and hopefully make some connections along the way.

That should bring you to the website where you can search Case Dockets by the foreclosed owner's name.  

The purchase is said to be made subject to the underlying financing, hence the name.You can search for forum and blog posts on "subject-to" (or "subject to" or "sub2") using the BiggerPockets search icon (the "magnifying glass") at the top right of every page.For the record, the exact mechanics of Sub2 vary from state to state.
