How are you building lists from the property appraisers website?  @Jerry Puckett  @Aisha H. 

@Rick H. What would the authorization to release information do for Kyle? I am in a very similar situation. 

Amy Davidson could you pm me that wholesaler's info? I'm looking for houses in Seminole, largo, and clearwater and deals are tough to find on the mls.

I am rehabbing and wholesaling houses. What would I put here. In the real estate section it says buying or selling for someone else. I'm buying and selling for myself.. Would it be other?

Doug Merriott That sounds good. What meeting are you attending tonight?

I am looking for an account that is not only familiar with real estate investing but is also an investor. I live in Largo, Florida which is in Pinellas County, but I would be willing to use an accountant anywhere in the Tampa Bay area. Can anyone recommend someone?

@Ned Carey I agree, finding the right deal is definitely the most important factor.

@Randy F. Awesome advice. Do you know the names of any just so I can check them out and see what they look like and then look for something like that in my area?

Where would I look for solid information on which neighborhoods would be more favorable for rehabs? What factors would I want to look into that would indicate an enviroment healthy for buying, rehabbing, and selling? I'm in Pinellas County Florida if anyone has any specific info.

Thanks.

@Wayne Brooks

Thanks for your reply. So you're saying that since this lien was applied after the mortgage then if I bid on the property and win I won't inherit the debt? I saw that there is some money owed to the state, but its only around 1400 which is manageable. However there is a JLN for 7.8k that could be an issue. Before I decide to bid i would def do a title search w/ a title co. How would I research into unrecorded HOA fees? This property does't have one but would I just track down the owner of the HOA? Where would I find unrecorded back taxes?

Does anyone know about foreclosure auctions in Pinellas County? I'm looking at a property in Seminole FL and I was wondering what I can do to search for title issues myself. A title company will charge me $75 but I want to do my own preliminary research.

I've looked the property owners up in public records and did find a few judgments and liens. Are these all attached to the property or the person? Would the county clerk be able to tell me if the liens were paid off?

I know foreclosure investing is pretty advanced stuff so I'm mostly looking at REO's, MLS listings, and motivated seller properties to flip, but I would like to get into foreclosures. To anyone in the Pinellas County; Largo St Pete Clearwater area that is currently investing in foreclosures any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
