One tip is to start looking into meetups to connect with investors / others in the REI game (in person/online).

You should be able to send it to the court clerk with the case number (you should be able to find it online or call the court).

please send me a case example I'd love to read. that's one appraisal. the knowledge I have as a licensed general contractor working with investors from 5 cities at a time all over the country buidling 3 different floorplans I would say trumps one ADU you read about online 

Always validate what you read online, things change, I could be wrong, but use this as a starting point in your research.What Is an ADU?

With online access to almost every jurisdictions property recordings, lenders today use software that automatically searches property transfers for transfers involving their loans.  

It’s online only but purpose built for business owners and they have automation for those applying the Profit First cash management system.

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

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.  

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.
