I have googled and found several online, but nothing with actual reviews from users/investors.

I’m looking for a place online to get my real estate license in Tennessee  .

Online or through a realtor?

I can't find anything online that lays out when a property should be considered residential v. commercial.

You can also check their reviews online at Google, Facebook, or Yelp.

And if you didn't have someone you could trust to do the management in either place you probably still would have lost money.So, if I were you, I would pick several markets with good job and population growth and begin to research them and talk to the realtors and property managers in the area.One of them will likely reveal itself to you to be the right place for you.But definitely don't listen to a bunch of yahoos online :)

The date the mtg was First Recorded against the property is what matters, not when or how many times it was later sold.This is a very clear cut question, and makes All the difference in how it has to be dealt with.Since you have a title co telling you there is a problem, I suspect this is the case.If your county property records and recording information is available online as it is in most places, it would be fairly simple for us to see what happened when, with the address.

Not sure how he finds his lists, but I think your best bet is to find owners with equity.

In regard to your due diligence process I can see where most of that would be available from online/databases.
