Just starting out, I would begin with acquiring as much information as I could through reading books, listening to podcasts and being active in the forums.

A friend of mentioned Florence, Alabama and I became interested in the area especially after reading David Greene’s book Long Distance Real Estate Investing and finding out that there are deals that can be made there.

He also let me borrow the book "THE BOOK ON Investing in Real Estate with No and low money DOWN" which I am currently reading.  

I have read many books related to investing and think I have a fairly descent handle on what to expect.

Adam Bergman's book "The Checkbook IRA" is one of the reasons I elected to go with IRA Financial Group, but I did want to check with the BP community. 

I have been interested in R.E investing for a year or two now, and have been educating with books, podcasts, and BP for a few months.

Then a call for final bids on the combos or entirety.In other words, the order of sale shouldn't matter.

Buy BradonS TurnerS book.

also what information would you need for the final or set numbers?

On this property I think I need to try one final significant price drop and if that doesn't sell it then refinance and turn it into a rental.
