@Russell Brazil What are your thoughts on the casino being built do you think the area is already bought out or do you think there might be an opportunity with all those employees to find rental units when it comes online?

I am using a software that I purchase, Property Farm, to generate leads.

So I send an email with a link to the application, including instructions to complete online and email or print / fax.

Big big banks and "online" lenders being a couple.  

Rather than searching out a tenant, instead do an all out, exhaustive search for a property manager (look into credentials, experience, terms, etc and on this site and online about how to get the best the best one possible).

Based on his advise, I then purchased my online License course this evening.  

A 2 bedroom is minimum  $1.2M. 3 bedroom that would allow a renter ... well check it out online.  

If you have really good online pictures and its price well, he may have all ready fell in love with it.

Use a photo editing software (I like Snapseed and take pics on my iPhone 6) to show the property in the best light.  

Back to your original question, some states have online court cases and land records so you can see if there are judgments or liens.
