I really enjoy the multiple perspectives.

@Patrick Soukup @Adrian MorenoAnother option to access Accurint / TLO is to have a contractor do the search on your behalf.

I've enjoyed the webinar's and podcast's that I've been able to go back and listen to and now I'm about halfway thru Brandon Turner's "Book on Rental Property Investing". 

I have mentioned this many times before but what do you think would happen to the auto industry if all vehicles had to be paid for in cash like many foreign countries.. that's why there are so few cars in many of those countries.. and what would happen to private aviation where light aircraft enjoy 90% financing for 20 years at 4 to 6% interest and there are tax benefits but they start at 400 k  and light jets that start at 3 million or light turbo props at 2 million.. yet hundreds of these are sold each year .. all because of credit.and just like commercial airliners many are leased and those leasing companies are buy 50 million dollar or 100 million dollar planes with credit not cash then leasing them to the airline.s   bottom line credit freeze's we see what happened. 

@Catherine Stevenson I have previously dealt with unresponsive property management and contractors and have found that it is better off going your separate ways as soon as possible no matter what the loss, it is often better to cut ties right away. 

Old contractor proverb:  the worker with only a hammer sees the world as a nail.  

I'm also looking to connect with local contractors as well.

Take that money and you can:Flip - only if you know what you're doing, such as you're a contractor/handyman, or an architect or good at project management. 

Background: I had a rental that I recently sold, utilizing a broker/contractor to rehab and sell.
