I usually see a lot of small claims stuff on there from credit, car, medical companies, bankruptcies (which is a whole other topic) which doesn’t bother me.

Don't bother with residential properties next to gas stations, unless they have been rezoned for commercial.

Some tenant's won't bother with it anyway.

I wouldn't bother. 

But only do so if you have an exclusive option to purchase where you have given a sizable option consideration on your agreement.But if your strategy is to get non-exclusive option on SFH and put down very little consideration, I wouldn't even bother clouding the title.

Great equity in this because the owner did not want to be bothered with the property anymore How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

I don't know how many units your bother will be managing, but Yardi Voyager 7s is top of the line software in the whole real estate industry.

so than a lot of people dont even bother with the LLC's and put all of the stuff in their own name?

They read we do checks and they don't bother coming. 

They may have other strategies to find off market homes and that's where they find their leads.I moved here 2 years ago from Colorado Springs and I have never even bothered to look at the MLS because the deals get snagged up to quickly, are out of my price range, or picked over already.
