I've noticed my local newspaper refers to an MLS number.

I forced myself to use it exclusively since last summer.

One, the property is owner occupied and they may qualify for the 121 Exclusion ($250/$500,000 tax-free exclusion).

If anyone can, feel free it's in the Palm Beach Post newspaper.

I invest in the Bakken region exclusively.

Should be owner financed purchase, my money on the rehab, numbers in line (65%+/- less repairs) with low money costs on a $350k+ house.Back in the day I used to pull a lot off my newspaper ad, I imagine the web would be similar, but these days its pretty rare for the homeowner to have any equity around here, so the better deals are from banks, hedge funds, other investors, etc. so knowing people works better than letters and signs for me.

FWIW, our base lease states no pets at all, but before we found out what kind of dog this was, we did verbally tell her that we would try to accommodate the situation if possible.Here Insurance cancellation/exclusions would be my concern.

An old fashioned way I look at rents is also the newspaper.

For the past six months, I've had newspaper print advertising out there, the "I buy houses" type.

I would look for records with that address going back for the local newspaper blotters, which will track for misdemeanor activity if the paper's upto date and online.
