Is there a way to find someone to buy the house for me at auction and re-sale it to me so I can finance it through my bank (I guess that would be a wholesaler)? 

Looks like not enough meat on the bone

The windows are also of the other side of the apartment, so as you can imagine cooking is rough, smelly and smokey. 

Assuming around 10k for commissions/closing/other fees there isn't any meat left on the bone.My intent would be to purchase it for less than the loan. 

I am in the suburbs of Chicago and mostly interested in the Joliet area.So as a new person who is literally putting one foot in the door, looking back, if you were me...at this moment...what is the one thing you would have told yourself; or done differently?

If there is a syndication expert reading this and interested in helping me help him please reach out to me at your earliest convenience.

Since then, I've continued door knocking while also acquiring deals from wholesalers and relationships built at my local REIA and a Bill Cook/Pete Fortunato "What Box" seminar in Atlanta. 

I agree with what alot of people have said especially @Micah Cook and @Brian Ellis The main problem that you will never be able to get around is that with Amazon you are building a business on someone elses foundation (Amazon).

This is just another example of that, to me at least.
