I have been doing a LOT of research, visiting various sites online.

You can start by going to www.narpm.org and search their directory of managers.

That could be a great way to find and stay engaged with local investors and opportunities. http://www.biggerpockets.com/alertsYou can also search for other investors and agents in Chicago and follow their journey on Bigger Pockets here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/search/usersBest of luck to you and look forward to following your journey!

It’ll bump it up to the top of the app searches.

I may adjust up or down depending on the initial repairs that it will take to get the property online and in production.

I like creating good marketing material and putting it online.

Good Luck in your search

A few things that may be helpful to you here on the Bigger Pockets website as you search for a team to support your first buy:You can set up keyword alerts so anytime someone posts about Huntsville or apartments / multi-families, you'll be notified.

@Lance Johnson I don't have any business in Akron but even quick search of MLS shows that there is couple duplexes listed in 44303: one for sale for $39,900 and 2bed/1bath is rented for $300 and $200.First of all, even with 4 rentals on your property - it's very low income, so it will be tough management.Another duplex updated for $69,900 doesn't even state the rent.

I usually have this map open, Google Maps, and the Jefferson County Tax Delinquent Property search open for cross reference and submittal for tax lien requests.https://www.birminghamal.gov/about/city-directory/...
