You should be able to check a properties specific tax history on both the county assessors web page, as well as on zillow. 

In Jan 2007, I came accross https://web.archive.org/web/20070216134932/http://... that explained about "mortgage reits" traded on stock exchange, in Jan 2007.

Confused on them - and there are conflicting articles on the web on both. 

However, this year one unit isn't renting and isn't getting much inquiry from the web ads. 

some ov this iz sepelled wrong Just tried it this in two different web browsers. 

But now that it's over,the fight begins to find that next client.There is so much to learn and so much to do that it seems overwhelming.You have to accept that it's going to take time and instead of trying to do a ton of things at the same time,pick one or two tasks per day and devote the time to getting those done.Small and steady steps will keep you moving forward,that's the game plan.I need to build a website that clients will enjoy seeing and using.I have to reach out and touch every person I know or use to know and still talk to on Facebook.I'm planning on a lot of lunches and dinners with former high school classmates and fellow employees from my previous career of 20 years.

If you have a good source of qualified leads I feel you would have a greater probability of landing a deal with mail driving and calling versus a limited budget to target web leads Some people will say direct mail is dead doesn't work.

The short answer is no,don't do it.You don't seem to be in the right mindset to become a member of my profession which is exactly what it is,a profession and not a hobby to pick up or put away at will.My profession requires lots of time devoted to learning both in and out of the classroom for at least 6 months to earn a license and the follow up sales training at the brokerage.It is not cheap either to get started with all the fees involved.From what you are describing about your personal life,family demands,and interests desired to pursue,I would concentrate on learning about investing in your spare time.Learn how to evaluate property for potential profits after repairs are done.Join an investment club and surround yourself with successful people who have already been through the process.Learn about hard money,gap funding,and what it takes to get the money you need when you need it.

I plan to devote around 10% of the space as an office. 

And by the way, I love this web site.
