If there is other info you need, please let me know.- Sale price 90,100 (The seller's bottom asking price is 85,900.

I'm not a single mother though, I will have help from the father (that info plays into my money expenditures).

.)- analyzing deals (preferably comparing 2 or more deals)There are so many threads here, so maybe this can help me get to some specific links or info a bit faster.

Finding a good contractor is a process--however, you may be able to pull leads by calling PM companies and getting their handyman/plumber/electrician contact info. 

I called the bank and they can't give me any info because of privacy but they did tell me it wasn't showing as an REO property.

We would love to meet with some other local investors to start networking and make sure we're not missing any crucial steps in our first purchase, and perhaps make a connection or two with some real estate agents.A little background info.

Do not share any info on difficulties you may be having with tenants , screening, repairs etc.

I will relate the info to the buyer’s agent.

Thanks for the info @Robert Gilstrap and @Frank Romine.I have never bought on a contract for deed, but I have sold on one.  

@Senthil Akasham Thanks for the info.
