Hi Melissa, The Auction i was in was Ending 24Hrs from My post Date, And there were Simply Too Many Houses & I Did not Have Them Narrowed Down Enough as the Auction of 6,800 Houses Closed .Although I Learned A lot throughout the  (Online Tax-Foreclosure ) Auction process, This Part/the " Legal Land Description + Matching it to a " plat Map" Really shook me and ate up Most all of my time Trying to figure this out ,As people/the County were "selling an Address" only to find out it was a Vacant piece of Land next to the home that they hadn't paid the taxes on.This was Frightening that i would purchase Something a Home only to find out it was Not a Home at All.ANYHOW , I WANTED TO GET BACK AND THANK YOU (though this seems alot of work for 1 home when looking at 100s-1000s to Analyse) Wish there were a More Accessable way for the public to match up these "Legal Land Descriptions" Rather then Feeling as if your "Bugging" an Agency for their info..Esp if for Several different properties.I will be Entering another Auction in a Week or so & (Although i will really need to narrow down my interests to use this method) I AGAIN AM GREATFUL FOR THE INFO & WANT TO THANK YOU SO MUCH, I LITERALLY COULD NOT FIND ANY, UP TO DATE,  LEGITIMATE RESOURCES,HOPEFULLY THIS WILL HELP NEXT TIME :)

I feel like the most important part is to have your boots on the ground to figure out what the sub markets are that you like and don't like.

Feel free to message me whenever.

I feel my options are limited to:1.

I do feel like I often get trapped in the "analysis paralysis"!

Are there any lead generation systems or mailing lists that any of you have used and feel have been effective?

It's very common.The risk is that the buyer backs out of the deal later when it's taking too long to finish or they don't like the customizations.

Additionally, I would suggest getting a better feel for what the seller's true motivations are.

I know I can ask my tax accountant, but wanted to get a general feel for what I am thinking of doing.This home was my primary residence for 3+ years then it became a rental for the past 1.5 years.How does the capital gains tax work?  

- What legal steps are prudent regarding a financial partnership with my girlfriend (We are planning to undertake this whole effort together)Who I feel I need to meet with: (This is not a solicitation, this is what I have taken away from "The ABC's of real estate Investment")- Lenders, I need to establish a lending partner who can advise me on my short term options and my long term strategic goals.- Real estate agents, I need to start getting in touch with the current state of the market, and start translating the theoretical book learning into practice.
