Office building??

is it obtainable directly from the country recorders' office...and if so what would i do to get it?

Or more importantly, the inability to contact a bank directly WITHOUT using one.If interested in my 2 cents, please continue reading.Being a licensed broker since 2003, and working with "banks" for the last 10 years or so, I have sold several thousand REO properties owned by banks.The last 4-5 years being the busiest for my firm, selling over 400-500 each of the last few years.I started as an investor, made contacts with banks (2nd mortgage companies) at judicial sales auctions in Chicago, and began my ancillary career as a broker for these properties.Based on what I heard during the podcast, I would like to bring up a few points about making offers on REO's direct1- The tax records, depending on the state, county, etc can be backed up for several months depending on the technology the recorder's office uses. 

Be happy to answer your questions and move you right along toward your goal.My first tip, do not interject your personal beliefs or political ideas into business, especially finance, it's irrelevant in the decision making process and those who do end up getting things wrong.

@Justin Williams, check out Sendpepper, aka Office Autopilot also.

Hi @Jaime Raskulinecz,I just spoke with Bill at your office and he was very helpful.I need to fine tune my strategy before we decide what makes sense.Thank you @Brian Eastman & @Adam Hershman for your help and guidance also.George

@mar As a landlord I have been burned more times and have more stories I can't talk about in polite conversation because I get so riled up. 

Analyze the local safety, political, and economic circumstances and get a feel of long term general (urban, industrial, infrastructural) development.

not until your license is safely hanging in your brokers office
