Sorry forgot to mention...I am from Dutchess County NY and would like to invest in multi family houses in around Hudson Valley NY

Insurance in place, is it feasible to insert a clause in a Rental Agreement stating that for example, "Tenants agree that they will bear full responsibility for any damage, whether through negligence, deliberate act or accident, occuring from fire in any fireplace the determination of which shall be concluded forensically through municipal/county/assign-your-jurisdiction fire inspection" or something of the sort?

You can go to the county records.

I've looked at the official public records in Travis and Bastrop counties, but can't find any NODs.

Investor here over in Contra Costa County.

I'm especially interested in hearing what things you do much differently today as opposed to a year or two ago.The areas I am especially interested in are Orange County.

Having said that, the swimming pool issue is a life safety issue, and the city, county or state should jump on that if you contact the right office, especially when you mention serious concerns about the neighborhood children.

Ideally I would like to find a wholesaler in Orange County to work with.

Point: Property in some cases is not actually sold, but rather the taxes are being paid to the County on behalf of the delinquent tax-payer.

Doe's anyone have information to how I can get the County's pre-foreclosure info for Burmingham.
