My office is in Glen Allen as well if you ever want to catch up for coffee and talk shop.Best of luck!

Hey @Paul DeckardTry your County Clerks Office.  

I can close on a 3%-4% property in other markets today in neighborhoods that do not require a police escort, and further in States where I can evict for non-payment without the nanny state telling me to wait for months on end.I'll note a few things about my political fluctuations comment:1) I am not arguing for YOU to not invest here - I do not care what YOU do. 

Let me know if I can help in any way.Chris, my office is in Annandale.  

I can also make some good loan officer and mortgage lender recommendations when your ready for pre-approval.

@Jay Hinrichs - I need to place a construction lien / mechanics lien on two properties - the local clerk's office was not overly helpful.

Hi all, What do you look for when doing research at your county offices?

I both broker and direct lend as appropriate (licensed mortgage broker, official job title is loan officer, I really don't care what you call me, but Russell here would probably call me a mortgage broker), so I've got no reason to be biased on this subject.If either channel was always the best, the other channel would have gone out of business years ago. 

Magnolia has done well because they have a a great marketing mind, they are a real estate company with offices as far as Austin, they are builders, and investors.

In rural areas get the asset lists from local banks, credit unions and town offices.
