Where can I access a national database of property records?
Hi Biggerpockets,
There are three questions I need help answering:
1. Where am I able to access the national database of all property records for free (e.g. address, homeowner, zipcode, etc)? I understand that the county clerk have these records, BUT am I able to subscribe or access their database? How would you address this question if you are trying to build a national database?
2. Is there a national database that I may subscribe or pay a small fee to access all the property records in the United States?
3. Also, there are websites that offer inherited trust records or probate cases; how do these companies access these records in all counties and be continuously updated with new cases/inheritance? Do programmers create a script to scrub the data, but then where do they get the data?
All inquiries and tips are appreciated.

In regards to question #2 try this webpage: https://datastore.netronline.com/
You may have to create a new account and password. Don't worry it's free.
For question #3 you can access new probate files on this webpage: https://adtech.dailyjournal.com/legalAds/
To start go to Search. For County select Los Angeles then in Category select Probate. For Newspaper select Daily Commerce.
In the date range select From. Here you can always change the date from today and go back 30-60 or 90 days.
But you'll still have to physically go down to the court house (civil) to research and scrub the files for real estate.
Good Luck...
