Most are too steep to even build a street.

She won't have to sue you and you won't have to throw her out on the street and be homeless.

Probably $30-$40k in equity.My parents live across the street from property and I wanted them to help manage while Im in school. 

From politicians to wall street to Realtors...everyone likes cheap (or free) money.  

After some research it seems that in order to put together a street address with a parcel ID, I have to go in to the office and manually go through the books.

Not from banks, from Wall Street, from buyers or from the Fed.When I was a teenager, I had a job at a grocery store.

If you needed to refer someone to buy something, would you show them the corner market or would you send them to a stranger on the street and say buy from him.

The Industry Heirarchy1- Consumer (you, the public)2- Broker, Bank, Lender3- Correspondent Lender (a broker with a line of credit)4- Wholesale Lender (can be a bank or instititional investor)5- Portfolio and Servicing Investor6- Securitizer (basically a broker who creates, buys and sells pools of loans between Wall Street and Investors)7- Wall Street (where the money comes from)Now I really don't suggest going to a "bedroom" broker (one who works from their house) although their nearly non-existent overhead sometimes translates to lower rates and junk fees.

I look for great schools, low crime, 4 B 2 B+, 2 car garage, not the best house, not the worst on the street.

Same owners has two other quads on this street.
