Many tools rely on a single national database or applicant supplied info, which can miss records, lag behind court updates, or fail when data does not match perfectly.Why reports may come back with no hits:Most records originate at the county level first.Some courts do not update national systems regularly, if at all.Reporting laws require exact name and DOB matches, so slight variations get excluded.Automated systems cannot legally fill in gaps, they can only return what the database shows.Depending on state reporting laws, self reported records may be excluded if they fall outside what that state legally allows to be reported.Why self digging is high risk:Googling names, court sites, or social media steps outside a compliant screening process.Any information used in the decision making process must be accurate, verifiable, and consistently applied.If an applicant requests the consumer report used for the decision making and the answer is “I found it online,” that is not defensible and invites Fair Housing challenges.When verification happens inside a structured, repeatable process, many operators can move forward with confidence without doing extra digging.

I have not meet anyone that has actually done it exactly like it was mentioned…  There’s obviously variations to the number of houses as well as a variation to the mortgage  length… There’s a couple of guys on Bigger Pockets that bought Houses and the timing was perfect so they would love to come on and share their good fortune in the form of a testimony.
