I freaked and started looking for new coils online and found out about this lawsuit. 

It sounded like a great idea until I had a renter that could come and go as they please while my kids played in the backyard. 

Did you see any reviews online.?

There is free landlord software out there that will provide you with online applications and screenings as well as market syndication so your property is posted to all of the major listing sites (i.e. apartments.com, realtor.com, Craigslist, etc.).

It is work for single family and small multifamily, too but the volume is so different that "driving for dollars" and various online searches as discussed many times in BP and elsewhere work really well for mailings or phone calls. 

Through my W2 employer I've learned how to take 360-degree photos and stitch them together into a virtual tour where you can then go online and "walk" through the house.I'm now trying to decide if it would be worth it to purchase the license for the software and camera for my personal use and begin offering this service to other realtors and investors, and do it for my own properties. 

Most counties have options to access the Tax Assessor, Recorder of Deeds and other sites for real estate records online.

The reason he asked was there's a high end, and low end appraisal depending on what you need it for.Now, if it's intra-family, and you're getting it below market, to play it safe, do the sale based on the appraised amount, and have the difference handled as a gift.

Plus, it's a total waste of time.All transfers are recorded at the county level, and many counties around the country have on-line sites where you can review transfers. 

My friends were amused when I wondered how I would deal with the loss of my Internet connection (which could be serious when doing online investing).
