ya Open door capital struggles are well documented..

My uncle has done 84 percent for the last 14 consecutive years (these numbers can be proven  and have been well documented) .

I got into this by accident when i took a job via upwork as a VA  for Vontive and stated at interview  i could lower there costs and stress by automating there lead gen.I automated the lead gen and they didnt need 5 0f the 6 VAs they hired and we cut there costs by nearly 60%.Thats when i realised that you could automate even the cross platform data scraping.Then i got some extra clients from Upwork and now Im on here to help, offer the same and expand to others.going to the recorder office/courtYou only need to go to the physical building if thre is information on the documents that you need but cant view online.

@Bryan Zayac  In PA, there is a state document called the Municipal Planning Code MPC. 

Would you have any recommendations, in your experience, for what to look out for in the documents that would be red flags or items that would negotiable?

In neighborhoods that won't attract high credit score tenants, I've found that a stable job history with a MINIMUM of 1 year at current or previous job to be the best indicator of a great tenant. 

All our data was well-organized and cleanly presented (no dropping off boxes of unorganized documents in their lap).  

What documents do they require, what credit scores do they allow, how do they verify previous rental history, etc.?

You can often get better rates with a national lender, but the customer service is non-existent, communication probably sucks, they may ask for the same documents multiple times, etc.

Sometimes you get lucky.You could even bring up the subject of seller financing (search online for ideas of how to structure a seller financed offer), and make sure a competent real estate attorney helps write the offer documents (if it gets that far).
