@Steve Babiak, unless he registered with Pennsylvania as a contractor, he would not show up on there, the company as the OP stated is from NJ where he would be registered. he should be registered in PA if he is doing work there, so i agree, he should have shown up on those sites, i am a contractor in NJ but do not do work in PA, not even my own properties, so i do not show up on those sites.

Like others have stated, their price is not always the best especially if you use cashback sites and/or search for coupon codes for other sites.

The state website can also be very informative. 

@Chris SeveneyI agree it is not the most professional website I have seen.

With setting up LLCs would someone go to their Secretary of State website and do this?

A website like Pet Screening can help you verify and document pets to ensure they’re a good fit for your property.

If you can critically think, there's enough knowledge on this website to get you started for free.

Are there any local meet ups or websites on where to find more people who have a moderate level of experience meaning they are  somewhat experienced but still looking to collaborate and network with more inexperienced investors like myself.
