I was fortunate to have a savings fund my parent set aside for me I was able to pull out from after college.

I am looking for a referral to a good escrow company in the San Jose area for the sale of a business condominium.

Here are some good places to start:http://www.biggerpockets.com/meet - find and connect with other BP members that are in your area.http://www.biggerpockets.com/alerts - Set up keyword alerts to be notified of the topics that interest you.And, of course thehttp://www.biggerpockets.com/forums - ask any question about real estate!

Realtor.com, etc.) and still I haven't achieved my goal of acquiring my first investment property.The properties that I had my eyes set on at the auctions/sheriff sale have all been stayed (every time).

In my state there is a condominium declaration, which is a legal process to subdivide a property into individual condo units.  

Looks like it merges list and such.30 day trial available.If it's not a zillion leads, in Excel, you can set up macros to highlight duplicates.

Also, love how this site is set up with pod cast, and all the wealth that is on here!

Now Tom if you are willing to buy it at 80-85% ARV - repairs I would be glad to set this up for you, my wholesale fee would be 5K.

@Alison Anderson You need to make sure it is set up with Mike as the seller to the end buyer.

I assume you already have an LLC set up and your income is running through there?
