Redfin.com is the next best thing to having MLS access...also HomeSnap.com, they're both connected to ARMLS and they both have private notes features where you can track and make notes on each property you're watching (although Redfin is eliminating that feature, write them and ask them not too!!)!

I follow public notices in my home state of Michigan to track foreclosures in areas I invest in and sometimes I see HOA's foreclosing for under $10K. 

I am marketing to prospects in Orange County FLA (Orlando) and I buy a CD from the Orange County Assessors office of all the details they track on every property in the county.

Another question is, why has it become the responsibility of the landlord to fix the shortcomings of the criminal justice system?

At this time the "road" is merely car tire tracks across his front and side yard.  

What you are looking for is an experienced agent with a proven solid track record who has also done RE flips.

With working long hour weeks until I graduate and start in my field I'm on track for my first investment somewhere around 4 years from today. 

I only want people with a track record of successful flipping in and around the Houston area, looking for someone to fund their next project.Cheers,Matt
