I try saying things like this zip code, that many bedrooms, etc, but agents still seem to be flooding my box with properties way off from what I'm seeking.

Try searching for mortgage brokers in your area or state.Have you tried this posting in the Indiana forum? 

@Adam Schneider Thanks for the suggestion... though I'm not sure what AAPL is and when I google search I get Apple stock info. : )   Though I'm a fan of their product, I'm pretty sure that's not what you were suggesting.

If in theory this project is brand new with separate meters, intact plumbing, electrical boxes etc. still only 2 unit building, should the process be straight forward?

Also for Pro can we keyword search the forums?

With that being said, I have turned my attention to other areas across the country in search of properties that I can take down without shelling out $500k for it. 

I searched online and one house, let’s call it Property X, has caught my attention.

And check your PM box. 

I am looking to bid on a foreclosure (upset bid after sale) and I got a title search done that showed a Contract Memorandum between the owner and a Property company (assuming its for a sale) that was filed after the initial foreclosure sale at the court house. 

YOu probably have to do most of the searching on your own.
