Track down the leader of the local REI club and ask if they know any HML's.

I'm currently a loan officer, trying to learn the financing part of this business, so I can be armed with knowledge.

I am just starting out in real estate and I wanted to offer this site for help with getting the auditors office in each county through out the US. http://www.netronline.com Also I wanted to ask if there are any resources that any other members use to find out information about the properties such as any liens on the deed and finding out if the previous owner had a mortgage and things of that nature.

Having an "intern" follow them around or be around in the office might just be a pain in the rear to them.

Some days I'm terrified and just want to walk away and other days I'm elated that I'm finally getting into real estate.I work a standard 9-5 office job, make a decent (but by no means extraordinary--probably be classified as upper-working class or lower-middle class) wage and am a single mom with 2 teens.Anyway, that's my story.

You'll be your own worst enemy if you travel down that path, and it can be quite a difficult journey to get back on track.

I work for an amazing company that has an office in Atlanta but I am not sure where else they have offices.

I have been tracking a few, and going to the auctions, just to see how the whole process is.

they usually hold them in public place like Town Halls.if you visit a Town Hall - usually you'll be able to find info on upcoming foreclosures on bulletin boards - but the staff at the county office/town hall will have nothing to do with the process.Legal Notices are used to make sure that the auction is a public "hearing" so to speak.

in the long run also - if your business expands and begins to purchase real estate (for offices etc.) then Corp is better - it affords the greatest seperation (ownership is severalty with corp, one owner) - although LLC accomplishes the same type of limited liability.
