I am not a plumber, but I have had my fair share of this, and most of the time, you can hire a plumber to snake & jet the line.

I completely agree, was mostly asking if these newer websites offer a faster or better process then checking records or hiring a title company. thanks! 

You can also hire a Registered Agent in your state to do it all for less than an attorney would cost. 

I also want to spread the good word about why the industry should hire veterans. 

Once you find a property, hire a professional property manager who can make sure you comply with the laws and get you great tenants so you can build long-term wealth! 

I have no properties yet - just working a regular job and doing some freelance work on the side.

Does anybody have any advice on what to put on a contract when hiring a GC?

I hired a contractor who was recommended to me from the agency who sold me the home. 

This is more common for commercial (5+ units, often lenders in this category want the owner/operator to have experience self managing or hire professional management), and not very common 4 units and under, IME.  

When your property is relatively inexpensive, say $200k, and you want cost segregation applied to it - is it worth it to hire a cost segregation firm and pay their fee?
