In Washington, DC, the Office of Tax & Revenue has a website with access to the "Real Property Assessment Database" where you can search by address and see the owner name(s), payment history, and current tax bill among other information for any residential property in the city (haven't tried commercial).

These provide a neutral venue and tend to attract those that are serious about lending their money, enabling you to avoid others with cold-feet at the last minute.Rates are obviously important, no doubt.

I currently work full time as a software engineer and my goal is to use real estate to enable me to quit the rat race within 10 years.

It can be a meaningful difference because it enables me to write off $25K in rental loss per year AFTER I have reached the higher tax bracket.
