Last year I was very anxious as to the whole closing and escrow process and dealing with contracts (I would research into it and  people would make it seem insignificant at times when explaining their deals) But while taking this online Pre-licensure course,  I've gotten a much better idea as to the process of escrow and the things involved.

My friend that is an investor directed me to this site ? Anyone had any good or bad experiences with it ? It is free! I have just one rental with more to come ,but the site seems pretty good

There are a million contracts for free online. 4.

This on its own is a huge ongoing challenge since banks must offer online & mobile applications to keep up with fin tech.

@Leigh Ann Smith I deal with land in the Phoenix, AZ area and the Maricopa county online tools are very helpful as they show both the flood plains (which can be built on but needs to be "built up") and the flood zones (cannot be built on).

Also do any investors use online insurance company or prefer a local agent?

I usually do all my learning online.

Although I work for Auction.com, I've never personally bid on a property, plus I work on the courthouse steps in the Trustee/Foreclosure end and have never really been involved in the bank owned/REO online auctions.

But that does not mean you have to accept the data from the screening source blindly; there are some ways you can use to confirm that these are not false matches if you are inclined to do some research:http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/1750...http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/6102...BTW - MA has the records online for this type of searching at no charge to you, for evictions at least. 

I would respond that our Patriot - Founding Fathers were compelled to a revolutionary war because their overseers imposed too many laws that impaired their ability to realize their desired liberty and pursuit of happiness.
