Some of the people who have already commented here in this thread (to name two names: @Linda D. and @Alexander Felice) have taught me important things I didn't know.

i have a list of home owner names and addresses but i am looking to find their email or phone numbers to contact them.   

Hi Eusha,I have two handymen that I use in Youngstown, Ohio that are both named Ed.

My name is Alesia Albert.

What does matter is that I finally have my first property to my name which is something I have been chasing for a few years now.

We both can get mortgages in our names and as long we finance the same amount of properties/loans, we should be 50-50 partners, meaning that all equity and cash flow  as well as expenses/tax liability gets halved.Here are the questions:1.

But if you want to go with conventional loan you have to  refinance on personal  name. 

Also, just an FYI: those properties on auction.com may have liens on the deed so you have to be careful because once you buy the property and it’s under your name, you’re responsible to pay all the liens on that property.
