I appreciate honesty, and for some reason all the short sale wholesalers I've interacted with have strung me out in a distasteful way.

I am in the process of creating an interactive one for a private site.

Keep interacting with others as much as possible.

IMHO,@Shoor Kalam if you want to win a deal (for better prices and terms), you need to have your financing together and be credible in your interactions with the other parties.

A GIS system is basically an interactive mapping database, which shows parcel maps and property owner information (and a lot more).If this county does have a GIS mapping service, you can usually find it by Googling: "County, State, GIS" or you can use a service like AgentPro247.com, which pulls this information from all of the counties in the U.S.
