Many were bought at foreclosure.

The stuff you find should match the things you/they already know about the house - who owns it, which bank holds the note (if any), the name of the people they bought it from (if not bought brand new), etc.Sometimes it takes a little digging through the county website to find the right property, and depending on the software the web site uses, it's not always easy to bookmark the page in your Web browser when you find the information you're looking for. 

I'm house hacking now in northern NJ right outside of NYC and bought a fixer upper.

I have a duplex in South east Minneapolis that I bought for 179k in 2014, which I'm very familiar with the neighborhood and have been quite successful with tenants and cash flow/appreciation.  

I recently bought a two family house under a single member LLC, mainly to protect personal assets in the event something happens.

(Repaired)Now the last issue was a newer Samsung slide in stove that I bought for 1600 1.5 years old I had service company from warranty company come out and state due to abuse it was filled with roaches and that the circuit board blew he than declined to fix and he said the house was being abused.I than had a second company come out and they replaced the board to no avail they then said it was another board and yet again it would not work so they suggested I get a new stove.

I bought two commercial properties in 2017.
