I am a Internet Marketer as well. 

There are times when a seller is trying to avoid commissions, agents and other cost - and that's OK if seller is for real.The seal bid methods have certain rules to success -expose the property as much as possible - signage - newspapers- internet -Have contract and terms at the ready for those interested to review them befroe bidding.Comps and pictures on a tri-fold stand should be present for all interested parties to view.Hold several open houses - lots of advertising.Agree to cooperate with real estate agents - they often will inform their clients to bid.Check the terms - as is, all cash, will take financing contingencies - seller agrees to -(help with settlement costs, leave the car and the furniture, contribute $5,000 to buyer, guarantee  appliances and furnace and roof for X years ----etc) We call this Contract Candy.Don't be shy - ask seler to contribute something if you are the high bidder - ask before bidding.Observe your competition if you canTalk to neighbors - there are times when the neighbor will tell you all about the house and problems the seller has had in the past.Have friends and paid agents assist you and look at the house and to listen for clues of motivation.Get all the information about everything you can....Why do you think the real reason the seller wants out - has he done this before or is just a creative seller?

I would check to see about the recent sales activity and divesting of the Palms Resort and Casino to get a better idea of what's in store for the property as a whole.

So you download a free one from the internet.

Rebecca Bryant , since the seller usually pays for all agent commissions, I would find your own buyers agent, not the listing agent.If you don't know a buyers agent, ask your contacts for a recommendation or do an Internet search for the brokers in your area who are highly recommended and frankly one who would be willing to work for the 2.5-3% commission on $36k.Then have your agent setup an appointment to see the house.Make sure you get an estimate on the rehab and that the house can be financed (condition and the fact that it is listed for below $50k).

There are only two internet companies in my area.

Anyway, some governments and merchants have started working together to revitalize cities and neighborhoods (appreciation), walking distance is becoming more popular (appreciation in small pockets), internet allows for more distance (unfettered) based jobs, unfettered jobs allows for more travel (airBNB and rental markets in higher demand), high unforgivable student debt suggests renting longer than previous generations.
