You cant view a lot of FL probate dosuments directly from the recorders site but you can get the key people (petitioner/decedent) then combine with the case type (summary vs formal probate admin) then look through property records to see if  they own property and whether there are encumbrances.

I would love to discuss real estate with like minded people over coffee, dinner or virtually

We make people take photos of themselves holding their ID and then I also meet them in person for the showing - at least for my units on the NW side of Chicago.I've never heard of these testers, but I am not surprised. 

I'd like to find honest people who are not going to rip me off.

But some (Dave Ramsey) people would rather have just a few paid off properties making just a little cash flow.

Even in your area, you may meet other out of state investors so you have more context for when you talk to the people who will make up your team there.

Getting that first property is exciting—and yeah, NYC is no joke when it comes to price of entry.Honestly, a lot of people I’ve talked to in your shoes end up finding better opportunities just outside the city.

Can I walk into offices and leave a flyer for everyone in the office to read and set up zoom meetings with those people to go over the details further?
