As I was browsing through data for potential recession predictors, I ran across none other than an index specifically designed to determine when recessions are taking place!

Is it possible to just browse files at the court house without having to cite a name or case number? 

I think it's a tad more expensive (less than $100 difference), the interface is really easy to use, and the tests/quizzes they offer have been greatly beneficial.

@Curt Powell I'm not too familiar with Greenville, but I do browse the MLS sometimes and there are usually a decent amount of multi's right around ECU. 

If so, great - credit will be given in the article - if not, I understand and will not browse the forums.Thank you for your time and consideration,Respectfully,Nick

Browse through the blogs and forums - You will find great info everywhere you look. 

I've had an account on BiggerPockets for about three years now and have read the articles, listened to the podcasts, and browsed the forums off and on.

@John N Gietzen the primary things you want to look at with list providers is 1) the variety of criteria available (equity, value, vacancy, owner occ, etc), 2) the timeliness and accuracy in YOUR AREA (this is why there is no point in asking anyone which is best unless they are also in your area), 3) what data is included in your list - just a name and address, or complete details on property, phone numbers, transaction history, equity, etc. 4) user interface - you are more likely to use a tool YOU like, and 5) price.
