My office was inspected etc so I can do the full credit report and they have found evictions I could not find.  

Just because during off hours I can go from my office on Mill Plain to my house in SE Portland in only 20min, the majority of the time, the traffic is really bad and I have heard horror stories of it taking 3 hours to go 15 miles....

In my county, there will be an auction in a few weeks at the tax office. 

Typically there is a minimum office fee per transaction.

I'm limited to how long I can be at the Office of Records before he fusses, negotiating with a Seller, etc. etc. etc.    

I am an investor friendly escrow officer looking to help and close deals!

Have a broker or Loan Officer that knows what they're doing figure out your DTI first. 

You may have to call or visit the office more than once to get it. 

Now I know when I look at a new area I google whether the city or township has a Rental Cert office and then I call them and chat them up to see if they have some arcane rules before I buy.

It took us years of researching, studying, taking losses, learning tactics and building relationships with neighbors & police in certain areas.
