David, I been on both sides, as landlord, landlord searching for PM, and as a contractor in the IT field.I self manage mainly, and for small jobs, I do have plumbers and handyman handling.

Just a few main tips I have learned so far:1.)

I recommend you ask for Mark Davitz at the branch on West main at the intersection of Frank Scott Parkway West.

I feel the same way, however my first home is definitely going to be a house-hack just so I can live for free and get ahead that way.I've been keeping my eye out for apartments, however my main issue is similar to what Jeff said, I'm having trouble locating motivated sellers who would be open to seller financing or a lease option, LoopNet or Redfin aren't exactly the best sources.

So my main questions are, is there a list containing people who are delinquent on mortgage payments (Public information?)

The main towns most of my clients are looking at are Forest Park and Berwyn right now, although the deals are pretty slim here too. 

Now my main frustration comes from the fact that i am currently 37 weeks pregnant and my baby could make her way into the world anytime now.

@Courtney M.Lot's of great suggestions on the forum:Seller carry/finance: Seller may benefit from deferral of gainsHELOC: if for investment, tax-deductible even post reform401(k)Loan: up to the lesser of: (a) 50k and (b) 50% of account value.

There should be a main meter under a lid where the main water line comes in.

Long term relationships with my suppliers is to my benefit .
