Idk about your state and county, but in Orange and Los Angels county the process involves filing the dba statement, running the filing in an authorized and approved publication for 30 days, and that's it.After completion you'll be able to legally operate from your dba company name.It's important to understand that the dba is just an alias to the person who filed the dba.

If I found and address I was interested in all I had to do is go to these sites to research public information on the property own.

Started out selling time shares in the basement of the Prudential Building in Boston when I was still in high school, back in the last century.Before I started at Strategic, I was a Sales Executive for Focus Publications in Lake Forest (CA), and made countless presentation to Realtor offices throughout the Southland.

I don't know how it is up in NY, but here in FL, the public records also contain the land value.You want your county's Property Appraiser website.

The bigger focus from my viewpoint should be the general health of the job base and trends in those industries.  

That kinda thing is gonna be governed by your contract.The problem the city has is all the roadside signs on public land.

I have two parents whose health is declining.

I can read blog posts by news reporters on some aspect of RE and can tell they don't have a clue, at least they are just telling a story but with a style to influence others.....usually for public consumption.Same with RE investors, mentors, coaches as they get into more technical aspects, the blogs are skewed with opinion presented as factual.

Pleasant because of the great public schools.  

@Gita FaustAs someone who owned their own public accounting firm, I can tell you that the RentecDirect PM version has a lot of features but it really does not have the advertised full accounting function.
