If your local municipality has an online court records, go to their website and look up both criminal and civil histories.

Through the HUD website How did you finance this deal?

However, when I reviewed the property information on the PVA website, the records indicate it is a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom property, excluding the 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom located downstairs.

BIG bonus is you snag something with Timber that will grow and you can do a selective harvest 20 years from now the Timber could end up paying for the building of the home.

However, if you're a W2 high income earner or business owner, I can't imagine it makes any sense to flip houses, mail mass post cards, wholesale, or build lead gen websites with the value of your time being better spent other places (such as learning about real estate and increasing your income through proven means), such as at your 9-5pm or growing your business, and your real estate is a long term process and you don't need "home run" deals to qualify or make it work.

There are so many websites and of course, most cost money to join.

All information from podcasts, books, seminars, and websites is general knowledge.

Glad to hear the website postings can be a legit source for a deal.

I just reveled at a companys lead strategy that lead from the website directly to whatsapp.

I keep monitoring the properties in the Cleveland Heights area (where we are looking to buy) on Zillow and other web sites but I am sure there are other ways of finding properties.
