And I couldn't find much discussion of this in FB groups, BP, or online, so thought I'd try to get a thread going to see how everyone is setting up their accounts and the pros and cons.

Hello BP Community,Unless I am mistaken, Maricopa County (Phoenix, AZ) does not post their probate court records online, unless you can provide specific names or case numbers.

I also looked at hundreds of deals online and visited over a dozen properties before I landed on this 8 unit.

Often pretty quickly....see something online at 1pm and I'm meeting you there at 2pm to see if we can lock it up before someone else did. 

JohnFirst look at your states licensing laws, they can easily be found online.

Subscribe to the local paper online, start to follow the real estate market locally.

I've bought a ton of homes pre-foreclosure and at auction, happy to be a resource on that stuff, plus we just launched Bid Pirate, which is the one place online for NH, where you can see all the upcoming foreclosure auctions in one spot - you can learn a lot from the regulars at the auctions........ get after it, sister!

BP has done such a great job of promoting SFR investing to the masses, that those masses have pushed up real estate prices to where it's now DIFFICULT to cashflow right away.Keep going, but understand you won't get rich in real estate overnight - it's a long-term wealth building strategy.For the short-term, recommend joining a few in-person investor meetings if possible, otherwise online ones.

We live in California at the moment and I have W2 job and my wife a small online business.

This may be because (1) until recently interest rates were trending lower so if the lender is getting a higher rate on subject note than he can obtain on new note there’s no monetary incentive to call the note (2) in the past technology did not exist to identify the property transfers (ten years ago county recording docs were not online) and (3) the lenders rather collect payments than own property.
