@Amanda GrooverAs far as consolidating debt, that would depend on the interest rate you are paying for each major bill.If you consolidate then you may end up with 1 large bill with a higher interest than the smaller bills individually.You also forgo the ability to negotiate each bill to your advantage.Flexibility may be to your advantage right now.Analyze and talk to each creditor to determine what you can work out to your advantage.As far as purchasing your first rental, it sounds like you are stressing over current and past bills.That will increase with a rental property.How much stress can you handle?

You can then search online without driving anyway. email me if you find a seller who wants to sell

We auction undervalued property online.

Use an online calculator to drill down more specific.

Once I started flipping through the book I began my online search and found BiggerPockets through Google search.

Online forums are great, but I'd like to expand our possibilities with face to face networking and learning.

I'm looking to bid on a property they have posted for an online auction.

Depending on if you need to have it be a line of credit or just want to pull the cash out it may be worth checking in with places like First Bank and Vectra about their portfolio options.

On line auctions are a great way to find bargains, for me I am from the very old school, I like to look at, preview, touch and understand the market close up and personal!

When I look online at our property abd tax assessor pages, the previous owner is still listed.
