I imagine it's similar to St Louis but I'd be willing to bet it has more going for it and better appreciation.Happy to share some resources, learnings, and even history/performance of my rentals I've had for 5+ years.

If it's an auction we have just dealt direct with the auctioneer.Maybe on your first deal you have an attorney do what you call "dirty work" but the best way to learn is to deal with the owners directly yourself, get permission to deal with the bank and execute the transactions on your own. 

note though that it is rare for a personal home to be a best investment property.
