"Lot 5, Block 7 of the Meadowbrook Subdivision) - I add this because may of the documents (unless you open the attached documents which are often pdfs or images), won't have the actual full property address (some counties such as Cook county in Illinois will have both the parcel ID# and address which makes it easier to search your local property appraisal district and pull the property information.Some counties have hundreds of document types which may be a bit overwhelming (You can always ask ChatGTP or similar to tell you which are highly relevant as some states have additional docs or they may call them something slightly different) below are few others that may be relevant , or sometimes they may just give you an acronym - for example in Harris county you may see L/P as Lis Pendens.Notice of Default (NOD)Notice of Substitute Trustee Sale (NOSTS)Appointment of Substitute Trustee (AOST)Mechanic’s/Materialmen’s Lien (MML)Tax LienHOA/POA LienAbstract of Judgment (AOJ)Lis Pendens (LP)Deed of Trust (DOT)Loan ModificationBankruptcy Filing NoticeRelease of Lien (ROL)Partial ReleaseAssignment of Deed of Trust (ADOT)Notice of AccelerationFederal Tax LienFTLProbate Filing / Affidavit of HeirshipEviction FilingQuiet Title ActionNotice of Trustee's DeedI wanted to give a bit of background as many of you are trigger happy on commercial products by selecting “Preforeclosures” without really knowing what it means (Many of you who are seeking easy money and aren’t running a viable real-estate business ).I will say the primary challenge you'll have is that there's a lot of manual processing involved here such as- Reading manual documents (PDFs or images) - This is how you'll find the true address, or find the deed of trust instrument # so you can reference the deed of trust and find all the property information.- Some may only include the legal description - So you'll have to manually cross check with the county property appraisal district sites to pull the property.- Some counties (Specially in states like Georgia) will want you to register and pay for some of these documents.Anyways, I hope that helps as many commercial products will publish these after 30+ days!

I would share the cold hard tenant ledger and let the next LL decide how to interpret it.As far as lying, acting as someone's accomplice in a fraud make you both rather bad people and sort of undermines your stated reason for looking to do this in the first place.

Where the woman talks about how everything going to be perfect on that day and the guy nods along with a sly little smile and you know he's just waiting until something better than his baby mama comes along to ditch her, pilfer the savings, and run away from child support as fast as he can.

Mark Andrews How to be a great landlord
15 September 2018 | 11 replies
Sometimes it will be all you have in the face of things as cruel as finding out that they left their animals behind without food or water when they skipped out, or as malicious as lying about you to everyone in the neighborhood for months, or as painful as discovering that yes, you do need to spring for four thousand bucks of unexpected expenses in January to change out the furnace that went bad at just exactly the wrong time.
Ryan Canfield Lenders - How Realistic Is This Plan?
29 March 2018 | 6 replies
If that is your plan then I wouldn't be surprised if a lender or servicer eventually caught wind of it and realized that you had bought 6 or 7 primary residences over the past 3 or 4 years and considered that the same as lying upfront.
