@John MillsCheck the county recorder tax records as this information should be public record. https://taxcollect.com/search/

They offer surety bonds so in the event a tenant causes damage  to your property and doesn’t want to pay you aren’t left having to pay out of pocket. https://www.suredeposit.com/Public/default.aspx

Hi Chihero,Don't forget the SEC requires the PPM to have a "Prior Performance in Raising Funds Table" and an "Operating Results of Prior Programs" table that all investors must be given.Also the SEC assumes Accredited Investors can handle losses if they occur and Sophisticated Investors can asses the risk for themselves.These opportunities are not open to the "General Public" for those reasons.

I also have a career however this Avenue gave me the opportunity to learn different aspects of investing, property management, the city of Baltimore and the various programs for section 8.

I would like to get information so i assess the best approach to tackle this new real estate market.Ideally, I want to invest in condos and/or townhouses as a starter investment to get my initial experience and add more as I finished my pharmacy program.

Now, I never really looked in public records to see if the own it but they may or may not be telling me the truth.

@Katie Weinstein hey Katie, my company doesnt offer commercial loans, but we have loan programs for residential (1-4) unit properties, including a portfolio program for properties held in an LLC.

The added benefit of this process is that you can also have your attorney sign the public records as "Nominee Trustee" before assigning yourself as the "Trustee" once the trust has been established.
