Highly recommended(And yes Josh, I've cast my 5 star vote in iTunes :-) )

Especially with the weight of a house on it and much of it unable to be seen.

might be a good time for landlords to Matterport their units.. archive them then use them when needed at turn over.  

Hey @Thompson Gooding I'm going to look thru some archives, I think I may have some leads in Valdosta.  

They are the custodians of public archival records.

I'm a newbie as well, and I'm looking to invest in my first property using an FHA loan too.Definitely continue to soak up all that Bigger Pockets have to offer, and I'd even suggest listening to the podcasts on iTunes as well.

It's a free book you can download from amazon as well as iTunes and this very site.

before you could retrieve archived landlord tenant records. now you cannot and only have access to 2 years worth of LT history.
