@Scott Beauregard I used Title 365 in Arlington, TX for my last closing. I use Ross & Matthews through LegalShield for all my attorney needs. 

I haven't personally worked with them, but I met with a banker at a BB&T Bank in Arlington Highlands that I thoroughly enjoyed. I've got to clean up alot and save more to work within the banking system and will go along the route of private lending, but hope that helps! @Rose Nielsen

@Michael P. James is right! Definitely do your due diligence/title before the auction so you go prepared. Also, the site will tell you what type of property the condo is that you are referring to. They do both pre-foreclosure sales (typically on the courthouse steps) and bank owned sales (typically online auctions). Hope it goes well! 

@Mike DeBuccio Jr. My biggest fear is doing deals without the money. I've read creative financing and am taking the plunge to begin to create partnerships, private money, etc., but it makes me nervous depending on others or not bringing enough to the table. Oh...and analyzing deals, but for now, I'm on the hunt for deals and hope that the funding will come! Trying to focus on one thing at a time!

@Steven Mcclerkin Welcome to BP! I'm currently doing the same, educating myself while waiting on the arrival of my second son. Just wanted to hop on encourage you to network here on BP! I manage a rental and am learning, but if there's anything I can help with, let me know! Welcome and I look forward to your continued success! 

Thanks for sharing @Jim Cummings!

Welcome to BP @Robert Washington! That's an awesome strategy and great future goals! Congrats on your success in advance! 

Every state is different, but to find liens on property, go to a title company or real estate agent and order a preliminary title report that that give condition of title, liens, and second mortgages. The 2 different auctions Dan mentioned are key too! I also always suggest talking to other investors at the courthouse steps or just go out and observe! auction.com has a help center and blog that answers these questions too if you've got time to explore! Good luck and much success! @Eric Gross

Congrats @Will Coleman! Thanks for sharing! What a great property and before and after!
