Today I sat down with all my data and looked up the owners.Some of the owners are corporations, LLCs or trusts. 

For automated web forms linked to a data-base I use Podio often.

We've seen a lot of technology with data and bits, but we haven't seen a lot of technology with atoms in the last 50 years.

Having good data is very important!

It isn't difficult to make scripts that directly manipulate the data file and it can also work with a SQL back end which opens up a whole other bunch of neat stuff you can do with the data.

Lenders require these for most deals and 100% of the time for Fannie, Freddie and HUD loans so we will have this data as a starting point to build the reserve schedule from.

After many, many years of dealing with probates, I've concluded that the off-the-rack commercial lists, even when available, don't provide the data fields that I want.

An expired listing doesn't give you any information as a comparable property, in fact it's bad data as it didn't sell and owners advertising their properties are usually overpriced anyway.On the public side of the MLS, go to the stats data, it should give you the % of the asking price that properties sold for on their system.

With the 2010 Census data available, there is good recent data on employment and population figures and trends.

There are any number of reasons why they may be different.Some counties have past sales available on line.Some title companies will make this data available.If nothing else, look at comps (not zestimates) on zillow.Best is to get access to the MLS either by working with an agent or becoming one.Very best is to learn your farm area intimately.
