Although even in my day.. the laws changed and any parcel that had city water and sewer public report was not mandatory.. on condo's I never did one.. but if they are required today both the developer and RE agent will furnish.. had not thought of public reports in years and years.. but I do see them occasionally Federal public reports on big projects back east that are being marketed nationally..

All of my best deals have all been introduced to me by agents/brokers and the occasional wholesaler.Also your reputation as an investor is very important, especially when sourcing off-market deals.

I also occasionally update my equity position where I'm looking towards at least $750k upside per project in 1-2 years for my recent purchases.

Occasionally we go wild and get pizza. :)

(not sure if Loopnet's premuim account limits you to 1 state like CoStar)Right now, I don't see the premium account being worth the $250/month for my occasional use and not knowing the quality of the listings on the premium service without a free trial.If you have the premium account, do you know if auto searches and emails can be set up?

You will have tree trimming and tree removal occasionally, that is just the reality.

My other buildings will get the occasional (seemingly random) payment plan issue.  

You NEED trusted (local) PM and Contractor/s.And if you can't tear yourself away for the occasional weekend, you also need local, trusted bird-dogs/wholesalers.It IS the twenty first century!

I have a couple of nice cars that I paid cash for (I’m a car guy), I have my real estate, I have my average expenses just like any other Joe Schmo and I enjoy the occasional nice dinner out with my fiancé.

Some will be base hits that help move you forward and occasionally you'll strike out and hopefully learn something for the next time.2.
