I’m located in Athens lower part of Alabama and have been constantly looking at the Alabama D of R site listing of tax delinquent properties.

I’m feeling like this would be a great start in RE. I’m looking to eventually acquire properties to turn into rentals.

Are there any tips anyone could provide on how to best use the transcripts? I’m finding the addresses by searching county records for the parcels but some counties have hundreds of properties. I don’t mind doing the work if I have to even go through each one by one, but I also could use some pointers from more experienced professionals!

I have driven around to view several that were vacant lots and I use GE as well but could there be something more I could be doing?

If anyone is looking to mentor or have me come work with them or even volunteer who will show me the ropes, I’m all for that as well.

Thank you for any input or advice in advance.

Trying to diagnose someone’s depth of their disability with no medical experience runs rampant in this post. Still to RE. If they don’t meet your rental requirements then just say that. Making a while post bashing people because they don’t look disabled is very tacky. Your RE experience does not even require you to do that so it must just be the judge mental nature that I always hear people say RE investors have. If they receive assistance you will get your payment. Anything else you are concerned about, especially their disability is beyond your scope as a RE professional. Like one of the comments said look up not down. If you’re not offering to help then why spend so much time worried about another’s disability.
