Sources Sought has closed a very long time ago. 

:(Brian, I have complained about this feature on iPhone using safari, very similar to what you just wrote.

You might want to look up @Dave Van Horn as a source for NPN product. 

I've currently been investing in REO's in the Chicagoland area for the past few years, primarily flips but it seems like a lot of the "good deals" are stating to go away so I'm looking at different sources now.  

I just want to find 1 source with the details so I can start.

You may have other income sources or access to people who can co-sign a loan etc., but based on the numbers you provided, I predict you will have a VERY hard time qualifying for a big enough mortgage for a solid property in a solid neighborhood, let alone two.  

Is her family in the loop as to what is going on, if not, they can be the source of problems if they claim you took mom to the cleaners.

Seeking knowledge from anyone familiar with the area or have referral sources.  

The lender - especially a mortgage broker - should be a great source of investor friendly agent referrals.

But if your property has a high-end kitchen and the other one doesn't, an appraiser might add $10k back and value yours at $110k.You might try to get your hands on a few appraisals to learn how appraisers value a property and add/subtract value based on features, square footage, and fixtures/finish.While I'm sure this varies wildly, I've found that some realtors rely too heavily on automated comps or CMAs when valuing properties, and these can be off by a wide margin.
