There is also an online database here (free) that has all public records.

Hi guys how do you report a none payment of rent, destruction of property, eviction on a tenants record. 

My partner was not on any official record.

starting by just brokering loans is a good way to start in states that do not require a license.. raising capital from private investors to make loans is a long process And very difficult if you do not have a long track record or pedigree in the industry.. if someone is brand new they really need to go work for a lender first.. other wise IMHO the chance of success is very small.

You can install water meters (not city ones) that can monitor the water usage but the record keeping and calculations can be a pain.

In our case the seller needed the loan off their record to purchase a new home so we went through the proper channels to make that happen.

If you really don't value your agent's ability and think you can do it better, it's likely best that you 1) interview more to find one that you do trust, 2) go through the listing agent, directly, if you're that comfortable with handling your side on your own, or 3) maybe get your license so you can control your side of negotiations with the proper tools needed (MLS access with agent info, showings, contracts, tax records, uploaded listing docs like surveys, disclosures, broker assistance for questions, etc.).

I'll just add, that if you've done these types of deals or similar deals before, having accurate and up-to-date financials (aka bookkeeping records) for those previous deals to be able to analyze the numbers would be a great tool to use to make informed decisions about future deals.And, even if you haven't done deals like this before, keeping updated financials for the deal you're doing is going to be huge as you're making decisions throughout the rehab.We call these data-driven decisions.

Stay consistent by buying properties regularly, keeping a record, and networking with investors.

Typically we get a copy of their license / identification and pull credit etc after they sign a credit authorization form.Typically notarized documents are needed when recording them with a county, but for a contract it’s very rare to have contracts like a lease notarized.
