I created web sites for property managers for a while and they readily available.

As far as a purchase contract, is this something I would need an attorney to write up or are there templates of this out there to edit?

But I have a sense that this may be a fair asking price.I would normally also probably go to things like rentometer, apartments.com, zillow, and not sure what other sites to see if what the listing says about $500/month is normal for that area.I'd probably then double-check to validate with the county website to verify taxes have been paid.And I would certainly want to touch base with the listing agent/owner to understand if they could supply a rent roll, utility costs, better understanding of who pays for what, how long the leases are good through, if any new CapEx-related equipment was purchased recently (or how old this stuff is).  

Thank Jennifer, I checked out your profile and website.

There are many websites that you can look at to view the types of crime and amount of crime that happens in any certain county, zip code or street block.I'd love to answer any questions you may have, offer up a few creative lenders, suggest some farm ideas, and offer up some Realtors that could help you in the farm areas.

It is easy to see if you own the tax lien certificate by going into the county website with the treasurer, tax collector or whomever is responsible for the collection of back taxes and see who's name is on the tax lien certificate. 

Can anyone suggest a book or website where I can learn more about this topic?

Without any business information on their web site, it is hard to know who these people are.
