I was on a senate committee way back in the 80s to deal with these antiquated subdivisions and lots of record which of course many of these areas are.

Dominic, I've found that participating on BiggerPockets forums, appearing on podcasts, and speaking at conferences have built trust with first-time passive investors when those forum posts, podcast discussions, and conference presentations show my experience, track record, and market knowledge to those reading, listening, or attending.This doesn't mean "selling from the stage", but instead, sharing actionable, useful information that I've gleaned from my many years of experience and from my own research. 

Chiefly, it says "Minimum lot size: 8,500 square feet, or 6,500 square feet for lots of record," along withMinimum lot frontage (width): 80 feet or 60 feet for lots of record.

After they book, it's still a good idea to use the platform app for communication because then the platform has a record of what you and the guest have said, in case you need it when a guest does damage and admits it to you, but later denies it to the platform.  

Do they use pen and paper to record this information or do they have some sort of software to manage it? 

I’ll also call code enforcement and check the county records just to see when things like roof/hvac have been done/permitted. 

At a high level, the system ingests raw documents from the recorder's offices, building permits, zoning permits, market data, and other auxiliary datasets.

They seem to know what they are doing for that pocket and has the track record to prove it.

This will get you the name on the dog on record designating that specific animal as their ESA.

For properties in Central Ohio, you can access records through the Franklin County Recorder's Office, which provides a public records search tool to help you look up property details, including any liens.
