As I continue to search for that first property my plan is to already have a few general contractors in order.

I don't know if I should keep him, search for another realtor, or work with two.

It seems like the “search” function is gone from the BP App?

Maybe run numbers to see if it would be a good BRRRR property to refi your capital back out (if you're not familiar with BRRRR search the forums and blogs,it's a great method for redeploying capital without a sale).

My next question is since all tax sales are final and you assume all judgements and liens,  is there some way to check if a property has a clean title without paying for a full on title search. 

TAX search.  

I did a google search and found a few companies that offer numbers/reports for money, and also went to the TXDOT website but was thoroughly confused.I also want to be able to see if the traffic has been steadily increasing or decreasing over the past few years. 

I've searched loopnet, redfin, realtor, & zillow for multifamily but nothing that looks promising. 

Is there a way to search the forums by keyword on the new appAlso on my alerts when it shows them it shows the keyword but does not show the title of the post - anyway to show the title to the post ?
