You never know what deals you can put together with the connections you make on the site of BP or at the Meetups, it all comes down to building relationships. 

LinkedIn could also be a good site to get the word out although you might get spammed by brokers trying to list it for you.

Hello all investors large and small, I am here on this awesome site to start my RE journey by listening to the great podcasrs and reading through the forums daily.

Or asking for advice which I think is kind of ironic since I’ve been on this site basically 18 months.

On a weekly basis that's about 15-20 new leads for both counties.If your interested as how to navigate the site don't hesitate to call. 

Welcome to the site Sharon.

A big problem on the BP site when people ask for advice when dealing with Multifamily properties is not identifying which classification of multifamily they're seeking advice on.

My day job is in IT but now that I am facing the need to either invest in more schooling to advance in my current field or change fields, I am determined to get away from the uncertainty of relying on others for my employment and be my own boss. 

On that note, what site and or public records entity should I be looking at and how much and what kind information is available there?

Not sure what you mean by too early.I’d still buy pre-foreclosure if a seller contacted me; we just don’t target market for those anymore.what I mean is 99.5% of people are still in major denial.. and so trying to spend a ton of time dealing with them at the substitute trustee stage will be fruitless.people in this situation in my humble experience only get serious the day before they lose it or 2 days before.we never even contacted them until 5 days before auction.. and the reason we KILLED it is we had little competition.. most need loans to buy we did not.. most rely on attorney or title company for the transfer we did not we did it ourself..
