I recorded a podcast last week with Dave Meyers and Henry Washington of Bigger Pockets.

Small fees involved, but nothing publicly recorded. 

Many jurisdictions will not record a subdivision plat until you've put in (or bonded) the infrastructure (power, sewer, water, roads, etc). 

They activate on sound/motion and will record a small VISUAL snippet of what is going on, but they DO NOT record sound2.  

That means calling the inspection office to see if they have an open permits, if it is in fact a legal x unit, does it have any housing violations, has their been any police activity near the property, have any of the current tenants had an eviction on their record.

The Ohio Division has no records of anyone named Prisco being licensed.

Ensure that you issue the necessary notices and keep thorough records of everything!

We have faced the longest average on-market times and fewest leads per day on market that we've ever recorded.

I get QC deeds from the owners of record. 

They focus on operations, and if they have 15+ yr track records, they have all the investors they need when they find good deals.
