Have a realtor get the extra detail for specific houses YOU identify.

This question is extremely market specific. 

Brian, I don't think investors WANT to see 50 or 100 houses before they make an offer but I would make a couple of points:1) As I tell my life partner "you have to kiss a lot of toads" before you find the right one but this is related to how you find the home...meaning if it is on the MLS - typically harder to find a deal although not impossible, if you drive for dollars you might have to look a lot of owners up but if you get to the point to see one odds start to flow in your favor2) If what you refer to is being a newbie and trying to understand what a good deal is or is not and if you have the time, touring that many properties to get an idea of value is fine.I have a w2 job and family so never had the time to specifically look at 100 properties with no intention to buy --  this is in no way a requirement.  

Let me know if you have any specific questions regarding the policy you'll need. 

If you are flipping 3/2 homes in a specific neighborhood, find all the homes that meat that criteria and target them.

Investors, as both a Realtor and an Investor I see the value in using a well experience/knowledgeable commissioned agent to list properties BUT I wanted to get your feel for the type(s) of Realtors/agents you use to list your properties and if you have been happy with the services and outcomes you have received (or if you got your license specifically to purchase and list your own investments). 

Do you stick with local CU (Phoenix and Arizona specific) or have more success with online applications or big name banks?

Let me know if you have specific questions from there.

I guess ill open my question i sent to him to the public just in case someone has been in this same situation; Have you tried this yourself with the LA county Tax delinquent roll and the specific format it comes in?

Doesn't sound like there are high enough margins in the first place.
