@Matt Avila - Thanks for the tip!

Online I can do that myself for $75. 

Any tips/advice?

If you are new and do not have other online profiles (Facebook, LinkedIn, no Google Business Page / Reviews) this can be a bit risky as the savvy internet user is not going to just toss up info.   

I know it is possible to individually search county records for each properties' county website which I will absolutely do once I am ready to make an offer, however when I am simply browsing properties online without MLS access, I don't think that should be completely necessary just yet.

All sorts of things that aren't online. 

A real gem.I now want to work on my passive income so I can leave my soul sucking factory job to persue other business ventures.I’m in a good position to have this work out well either way I choose to proceed but I’m looking for some advice from those of you who have been in the game for a while.

Tip - cut a small hole where the noise is coming from and drop in some rodent poison.

Do you have tips for us?
