Did you pull the file at the courthouse? 

Do you go by there physically every month to pull out the filter and see if it's new? 

If you already have a decent rate (4-5%), I wouldn't consider doing this at the moment to obtain a lower rate, but to access your equity and pull cash out.

I'll be sure to keep their contact information available IF I ever find a deal and pull the trigger! 

@Deshawn Lewis Keep pushing... and be ready to pull the trigger... and don't let anyone stop you!

Did you pull the trigger yet?

My sister in law in Silicon Valley prepaid for a full year for a place that I believe was beyond her financial means, using her mother's (my MIL) money when MIL was pulled out of the nursing home she was staying.

I pulled down a business search and they were a legit business in GA but are being dissolved due to failure to comply with annual filings.

You can also have your agent do a comparative market analysis for the area around the subject property and also pull lease information from the MLS.Have you used the Rental Properties Calculator here on Bigger Pockets to determine if this is a good deal?

Lots of great resources that you should pull from.If I were to start from scratch, I would start with a MrLandlordLord.com template.
