I have shown this via a study i have done which shows data from propstream and propwire are at least 2 weeks behind county/court/noitce records which are the source of 90% of off market motivated seller leads Take a look at my home page for more thorough explanation of what youare NOT getting when you use Propstream, Propwire, Propshark, PropRadar and the like.Also, propstream and propwire only provide, for at least FL, TX, CA, a third of the preforeclosure leads wich are available from  county/court/noitce records, so, if you want to be ahead of the pack in the off market world go to the source and you will save yourself a lot of time, money and aggrevation.How do you get the data from the county websites?

Looking forward to seeing you around the forums and hearing about your journey of real estate and investing! 

I used to live in Bellevue, when I started investing in Cleveland area, I also went for BRRRR, I was a newbie, and it was hard to pull off.

I recently started the process of doing a cash-out refinance on my single investment property.

@Richard Schubert If the house next door is a solid enough deal you could always raise the money from people in your network to tie it up.

For example, if a seller comes to you, looking for you to help them sell their house, your first responsibility is to help them get the most money for their house, and not try to buy their house as an investor for cheaper.

And not have to go with one of the free firms, who invest your exchange proceeds in lieu of collecting exchange fees.
