I like LandWatch as it has a substantial amount of filters available to find the exact parcel you are looking for although I believe auction.com is the "big" one.

The property has an incurable defect, such as is in a flood way, which renders the property worth substantially less than it may appear to the inexperienced4.

Welcome and great to hear you're ready to make a dive head first into rental property investing. 

Well my wife has a list in her head.  

@Bryan Mitchell Thank you for the response, pretty much hit the nail on the head.

Number one, don't buy anything that's a long-term hold, the market's going to head down.

Thank you all for your input I’m really trying to work this out in my head because it doesn’t make sense to me. 

You will end up way over your head and likely loose a lot of money.

Give you lender a head’s up asap.

Pull all the equity out and get to a cash position.The extra money you made over the past year of exponential appreciation will offset your tax liability on the sale of the home.You never hold when the market is going to crash.We are headed into a strong correction in the market.Thanks
