Hi @Anthony Horner and @Bradley Kirschbaum The initial reference was through Direct Mail.

I am looking to buy a property directly from a seller, but am unsure of how much time I should leave for due diligence.

I scrape my data directly from the county GIS server though, and it's basically the same data, although I have to figure out who's an absentee myself by comparing addresses (and the conventions like St vs Street aren't always consistent so it's harder than it sounds).You can probably just go to your local assessor's office and see if they can get you a spreadsheet.

I know i have the work ethic just looking to be steered in the right directions.

Send me a direct message and I can send you a copy of my book if you like. 

Just wanted to jot down a few things.I get probably 10 mail pieces a week from various parts of the country on assets we own.. we target the same thing wholesalers do so we get these.I had a few surplus properties so ...

Considered using a limited partnership to flow through the earnings directly to the Canadian shareholders - very good idea, but there is a  witholding tax of around 39%, which could take up to a year to get back - too long for real estate business.My last question is where to register the C-Corp, if you are buying Ohio property? 

Some even accross the street going for $500k, since they are right on the water (my lot wouldn't have direct access to the water)Thanks for your feedback

Hi @Natasha Richardson,I wish I could answer your question more directly but it all depends on the location, quality of property, recent sales activity, supply and demand.
