Greater Houston is a geographically large metro area with tons of land.  

But best probably changes every few years, and I figured it would be better to just pick a place rather than spend too much time analyzing geographic areas.

That's a much better description of what you're interested in so you can really narrow it down.

Hi BPers,In the member search area, I used to be able to pull up all BPers from a particular geographic area and filter them by their job title - for example, I could pull up all real estate agents.

If they are all on the same Parcel-legal description/tax ID number, then yes.

When my contractor showed up to change the locks a couple of people showed up to clean upstairs apartment because they say the rented it from the owner who matches the description of the downstairs tenant.

Keywords from description such as "investor special" and so on 

It sounds like perhaps you were looking at Oconomowoc, Pewaukee, Brookfield and Waukesha based on the description of not finding a duplex that is monetarily feasible. 

. #2 there is no agent involved providing comps, prices, descriptions, justification for pricing.

One thing some DIY title sea arches miss is the ability to search for encumbrances by legal description, not just by owner name.
