Rochelle is the geographic middle between our two jobs.Not as much opportunity in Rochelle (pop 10,000) but I'm:15 mins from Dekalb 25 mins from Rockford Adjacent45 mins from Naperville/Aurora45 mins from LaSalle/Peru (Cassie's work location)1 hour from Janesville/Beloit (My work location)We're open to cast a wider net if the opportunity arises.Currently we're saving approximately $5,000 every two months for down payments and listening to the BP podcasts on our commutes.

Hi Brett,I read your book of Simple wholesaling. it was a good short and sweet description. thanks for your honest inputs and tips for the new Investors.Are you familiar with the market in MA by any chance?

In the description of the property you are searching for they can list an address versus a property description (3 bedroom 2 bath etc.).

In the MLS you will find every type of description of houses, for example; estate, foreclosed, vacant, motivated seller, institutional seller, REO, bank-owned, divorce forces sale, etc..  

Hence this post.I could use some advice on where to find good data on the present market conditions, particularly recent sale information on single family homes in my area with a description of the product. 

Every lender I have spoken with thus far has been a bank that doesn't seem to fit the Portfolio Lender description. 

so I pulled a code violation list for my county and about 600 of the 10k violations say that the houses are vacant in the description of the violation.

I am interested in other geographic markets as well.

Based on your description, it sounds like there are way too many roadblocks between you and generating a decent return with this property.  

I read pro-formas all the time that try to juice the descriptions of the property.
