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 need help.When I am searching for probate leads online or by going to court, what am I looking at and what am I looking for?

I paid a couple hundred bucks to Video Genesis for their online training videos.

Had the same thing on a tenant that moved into one side of my duplex recently.Get's her paycheck put a debit card, no checking account, so she couldn't do the online option we planned.

Another thing I am not in WI so do I need to go there to create an LLC or can I do all this online?
