It's better to uncover the likely BS on the front end than waste a bunch of time getting it under contract.From there, you can usually build a P&L using industry averages and obtaining old bills from the utility providers.  

Married wife/owner has satisfied multiple trusts and now has a 2008 1st Trust being foreclosed upon tomorrow.Due diligence has uncovered a $14,000  Hospital Judgement docketed on 2006 (so having priority over the current, foreclosing, 1st trust)BUT...

@Bjorn AhlbladHa ha, it sounds like you have a great thing going with your handy women.

@Ryan Blake is not wrong, if you get sued, the attorneys and courts will work to uncover the chain of ownership.

All it takes is 5 minutes of research to uncover by any realtor with MLS access. 

The more information that you can uncover, the better off you will find yourself.

But for the most part, agents suck at generating leads...Learn how to find off market deals and you'll have dozens of  men, women, and children lining up outside your door with a checkbook and pen. 

I haven't seen it but will try to go by on my next trip (maybe this weekend) and/or get pictures and confirm manufacturers/etc...On our ranch we have a large uncovered concrete cylinder that we pump into for the animals.

Would love to see more podcasts from women.

You have to figure that majority of the decision makers are going to be women & you have to appeal to them with emotion & staging does that...as you have learned:)But congrats on taking the step and going for it!
