Bout time our housing info was accessible

Also as a realtor, is their a sense of bravado because you passed a test and have access to MLS?

The experience was great for me because it forced me to learn a lot (so I could guide others) and provided me with a lot of access to investors.

I've read that you can find leads on local tax assesors websites, probate and inherited properties accessible to the public at probate court offices, or work with an agent who has access to expired listings from MLS.

I don't have access to parking because the neighbor will not share access to the back of my property via his driveway.

All of the suggestions above are in close proximity to train or metro stations and buses so giving easy access to the rest of the city.Good luck with your search! 

I chose lapeer because it is centrally located between my 3 young adult children.The town seems to be growing in some ways because they are constantly adding new restaurants and retail stores.

You will need a local broker or appraiser to assist in finding that data, unless you have access to CoStar, Axiometrics or REIS Reports.

I really don't want to spend the 250.00 a month to access Loopnet.

Since I don't have MLS access what do you guys do to find good deals on properties?
