The only people I see continously over bidding are American homes for rent and random newbies going for that one house that get bid up.The hardest part is finding a house that has equity that makes it to the auction.  

I have had a long time account with PNC but since they are such a corporate bank would they be more conservative with the number of mortgages?

The Flip model may work best when working with groups, every party with equal standing can have shelter within a corporate structure, ( my attorney has advised me that this is the cleanest way to structure a JV with other parties.)Again, as Brie stated, clearly defining goals and exit strategies is paramount in every deal.Good luck and keep us posted.

Yeah the craigs is not an end all but I do see all the non corporate and some large players run ads there.

If not would you start out buying as a sole proprietor until your investing reached a certain level, form an LLC and elect to be taxed as an S-Corp, or just go ahead and start another S-Corp?

Have a signed purchase agreement for the property with the terms that you want for the seller fiancing Then go to this site https://www.docmagic.com/.You would then find an escrow company in your area to do title and closing ,like fidelity or first american title. 

There has been significant corporate / institutional purchasing in the region in the past 5 -7 years (Hello, Killam ... though they seem to be focused more on Upper Canada now) and a fair amount of "money from away" purchasing smaller properties in this class (ostensibly as a safe place to park capital at a rate better than what it would fetch in a bonds or money market accounts).  

Those are Midwest American numbers right there.

Once I downloaded and digested all that, I went ahead and had them build me a website and give me three months of an American virtual assistant service plus answering service for $600.
