Tax Records, probably your best bet. 

You take the signed off paperwork and deed to the courthouse on Calvert St. and go to the land records office to physically record the deed.

So do your homework and plan on more than what it looks like initially.I have flipped two properties and now have decided that I'd rather focus on my day job and buy long term rentals, my back and knees also don't make me want to do the physical labor anymore either lol.I also house hack every year.  

Hello,Very new to the forum and currently renting in Ridgewood, NJ.  Near the end of the year I'll be in a position to buy with a conservative budget of 175k and more of a stretch at 225k.  Looking for something in Hu...

It's where I physically go to the property, take pictures and do a visual inspection if needed. 

I am acquiring a SFH and a duplex (both on same plot of land and same physical address).

If he was your tenant for 3 years, he has made you tons of money I'm betting.

So, if an agent wants to work with you, they'll have to work 10 times harder to get the same amount of money (and, yes, you could say the higher the price the lower the commission structure, but at this price point it wouldn't matter as much).So, it doesn't make any financial sense for someone to work on a $30,000 deal.Your best bet is to find someone new who is learning the business, because new agents will take what they can get, or get your own real estate license and then you'll never have to worry about it again.

Welcome to BiggerPockets :)From my experience in Nashua, your best bet would probably be to buy and live in a four family... its much more difficult to turn a profit when owner-occupying a two-family or three-family there. 

But every one of them could operate a handgun with little physical exertion, and if that's their only option for protection against a physically superior opponent, it's better than nothing.
