I'm not opposed to an online service as I'm traveling more and that would be easier to access, but I've heard horror stories (plus super expensive) to go with QB online.

Eviction filings feel especially interesting because they’re often closer to actual owner pain than broader list categories, but still early enough to be useful if the records are accessible and clean.And your point on court-level variability is exactly what makes this challenging in practice: some jurisdictions give you almost nothing, while others expose enough detail to actually make the data actionable.Have you found that eviction activity works best on its own, or mostly when paired with other context like ownership duration, code issues, or tax delinquency?

But the investors who handle it well aren't doing more inspections under contract, they're walking in with fewer unknowns because they did the homework before the clock started.How do you handle it when access is limited during the showing: tenant occupied, restricted areas, that kind of thing?

Congrats on the preapproval — that’s a big first step.For a first owner-occupied duplex, I’d focus on a few fundamentals:• True rent comps, not seller pro forma (especially unit-by-unit)• Mechanical separation (utilities, furnaces, electric) — this matters more than people realize• Deferred maintenance on roofs, sewer lines, and foundations — older duplexes hide costs• Local taxes and reassessment risk after purchaseOn the Northside specifically, block-by-block matters a lot, so walking the area at different times of day helps more than spreadsheets alone.Keep your first deal boring and forgiving — strong cash flow beats aggressive assumptions.
