Sandy,In my county you can look at the tax department on the county Web site.It actually says "Sold at tax auction" in red if taxes were paid via tax sale.I agree that the county delinquent tax office can look this information up for if you cut find it on your county Website.John

A Web based solution is great because it allows you to access your data from anywhere.

Nonetheless, I admire the process of due diligence involved with real estate much like stock fundamental analysis, and look forward in continuing to learn!

Easy to locate via web searches, but several of those are on the BP boards  here too.Also, sign up for the Intro to Real Estate Investing class at Wake Tech (now taught by local mortgage broker @Amy Bonis) - it's a good opportunity to meet some likeminded folks.  4 4hour evening classes.

I suggest that you look through the blog posts and listen to the podcasts to learn some of the fundamentals.

These can be no-indexed (and many times are) to isolate then from your SEO strategy.I'm no web designer, and I created a landing page last night in about an hour, used for a client to send people from their radio show to sign up (lead generation) for more information.

You install it in a panel, connect it to the property's wifi, and it reports real time usage from that panel to either a smartphone app or a web browser.You can set the cost/kW-hr, and also the billing cycle.

I was actually hoping for some guidance for existing online literature out there, either on BP or perhaps elsewhere on the web. 

I'll check that out on the web today.

My strengths are in backend web and iOS mobile development but I dabble in all sorts of tech.I do not have any prior experience with REI but ever since I read about gaining financial freedom through buy & hold properties back in college I knew it was something I wanted to pursue.
