I did some research online and found it is a Mansfield toilet, which has this funky flapper.

One thing I did notice from one quick online search before joining Bigger Pockets is the number of properties for sale in the city.

You could send out more or less, keeping in mind that the more correspondence you send, the more responses you'll get.Side Note: I've been seeing quite a few complaints from investors that wholesalers present comps and repair values that are innacurate, so if you would like to earn the trust of investors in your area, please find out how to presents accurate repairs estimates and comps!

Craigslist, online, referrals, etc....One last thing this website is nothing short of amazing.

Alternatively, you could arrange an earn-out whereby you retain 80% - 90% of his portion of the the cash-flow-before-taxes (CFBT) until he has earned out your half of the property {this could be done even if there is an existing mortgage in-place}.Be warned that if you have a mortgage and your names are both on it, the lender (especially a bank) may force the remaining partner to refinance (rather than simply issue a "release" of the other partner from the mortgage).There are others here like Jon Holdman, and @Bill Gulley, who have deep experience and better know the financing options available to you in the U.S.A.Whatever you do going forward, spend a little time with a real estate / partnership attorney and get things in writing.

In my area, you have to go to the County Clerks office (some areas you can do it online), but once there, you can check taxes (what they owe, where the bill is sent, when and who made the last payment), mortgages (what did they tell you they owe?

I am trying to find cash buyers using our county's online record search but am not sure what I am looking for.

I don't really have the experience to flesh it out fully so I'd appreciate any comments and suggestions to it.1) get construction job & hopefully a mentor (for experience and to earn about $5000 dollars)2) get FHA loan and buy distressed 4 unit property3) Live in one unit and rent the others out while keeping my day job.

It cost the title company money to pull a full title (they can do a prelim search and look some stuff up if its online) so they usually want to make sure you have somebody who can close so they dont get stuck with a bill for a property that will never close.

They also have some online education available.
