The very helpful clerk on the phone directed me to the Sheriff's web site, where you can search judgments and eviction records of potential (and current) tenants.http://www.sheriff.org/apps/civil_search/I found out, too late unfortunately, that the tenant I'm currently evicting was evicted in 2008 and probably more than once.

@Joe Fernandez  Most property management companies are going to have bad reviews, tenants who get evicted go online and blast bad things all over the web.

so first .. we have this shooting in AZ which has nothing to do with political rhetoric, suddenly the entire media is telling everyone to tone it down, etc. etc. it's all the place over - lets use softer language , blah , blah blah.. .. and now i come to my favorite real estate web site and find that the mentality has permeated ever deeper.

Bruce Michaud I got this from someone else but I like it so I'll share it.The Women Business Owners of Montgomery County in Maryland web site has the following excellent summary of their Mastermind program, structure and processes, which I have excerpted below:MastermindMastermind groups (MMGs) are small groups who are dedicated to developing their businesses using a cross-mentoring approach.

Very true Will Barnard, its the active members that keep BP the best REI site on the web!

I'm from the Kansas City area and work as a web application developer and video producer for a smart apartment property management startup in Kansas City.After sitting down and interviewing real-estate experts for my work, I quickly became interested in real-estate investing. 

Recommend you down load the rules from the California web site.

If you do become licensed you may even be able to then add that piece of it to your already existing web site and social media posts, again, so long as they conform to the rules for your state and/or agency you end up with.I say go for it.

Certainly these web-based investment vehicles are rather new, and have not stood the test of time that traditional RA investing has.

@Nate Kooiman, that $5000 course is probably priced $4999 above what it is worth.Everything you need is on the BP forum, the web and podcasts.
