I've heard mixed reviews about the overall process.

Oakland County has a nice online database you can access at Oakgov.com. 

I have most of it worked out and she has reviewed it, but questioned the section that stated the tenant was responsible for the costs of repair and replacement of all appliances.Is this typical to have the tenant pay for replacement of appliances that naturally burn out? 

I am looking for information to help me learn about buying homes from online auctions.

Google reviews and yelp would probably be a good place to start. any other thoughts.   

Here are two quick and dirty ways: for the lowest interest rate get a HELOC on your home.Since it's a 5 unit you're facing commercial rates and are playing in the big leagues of financing which means you need a seasoned entity combined with personal guarantee for the lowest possible interest rate.You can buy a seasoned entity online (make sure it's in the same state) that has a 80 or higher credit score, move the entity to the property address, change all the credit lines to the new address, transfer the property into it, and get your credit score to 720+.Apply for a commercial loan if you don't want to go the HELOC route.

Then use this as a basis for financing, and run the numbers yourself online with a mortgage calculator.Then of other expenses, talk to other investors in your area, get a sense of what they spend managing properties.

Ask if they have had the time to review it.

Did you have an attorney review purchase agreement and add helpful content to it?

A good number of the schools have negative reviews so I am wary.
