I am newbie and have not figured our how to navigate through all of Bigger Pockets or the Real Estate investing internet world.

They need to have internet access and be familiar with their historical credit data to be able to get through the questionnaire.  

depending on the state unrecorded land contracts are treated just like Deeds of trust  only worse you have to judicial foreclose them.I suggest you spend a little money on a local RE attorney there in your state.. internet is a dangerous place to look for these types of answers.. as they will vary wildly as these things are state specific.good luck with it...

I intend to present to the court my Straight Talk phone bill of $48.35 and my Charter cable and internet bill for $112.54, and, finally, my water bill, including sewer, for less that $20.00 per month.

I know I can get the information through the internet or town halls but I guess I'm stuck.

The legal requirements to purchase at the Tax Sale and procedures that must be followed to obtain a tax deed are outlined in the Illinois Compiled Statutes Chapter 35, Act 200, Article 21, available at public libraries or on the internet at www.ilga.gov/legislation/ilcs/ilcs.asp.

The problem with the MLS is that everyone with an internet connection can find a property on the MLS so the second that it is listed the tigers pounce on the good deals (actually the good deals get sold before they should up publicly) What you need to do is to learn how to buy creatively.  

That type of info, if it's on the internet, then it is readily available to your cash buyers & their end buyers.If wholesaling, go ahead and run some numbers, give them a contingent offer based on the fact you haven't walked through the property.
