Title Searching and Other Research

What is the best method for getting current FMV on properties?

Does the websites listed in the book "Profit from real estate right now" give you the current FMV for todays market on a property or is there other research required to obtain this? If so, what else has to be done to make sure I get the correct FMV?

Due Diligence: How to Find the Stuff You Need

The May 28th Conference Call Assignment was all about locating owners and the methods taken to do so. Here is what I would like to call an addendum to that assignment and also a very good reference guide to follow if trying to actually locate owners and/or other information on a property.

Due diligence is extremely important, regardless of the type of property you’re thinking of buying. In development property and land deals, buyers start the fact-gathering process with their first encounter with the property and it continues until they either bail out of the deal or go to settlement.

* Do you work full-time or part-time as a real estate agent?

Full-time work typically means more attention for you.
* How many homes have you sold in my neighborhood?

TYPES OF DEEDS

I am posting this for those that need a clearer understanding on the types of deeds that there are.

DEFINITION OF DEED

"CASH" Sold List in Atlanta

I'm not exaggerating but I've been going into the Atlanta market as my first virtual wholesale market and have emailed and talked to hundreds of Realtors, not lying. So much so it distracted me from sellers.

I've even done the two sheeter fax every office strategy in Profit From Real Estate RIGHT NOW to 10 offices in Atlanta. Still can't find a realtor that will or can give me the cash sold list. I've had 15 Realtors "attempt" to give me the cash sold list and still nothing even when I tried explaining to them to call the MLS hotline.

Buyers Phone numbers

Hi there,

My agent pulled a 90-day cash solds list for me and I took it to the county tax assessor's office and was able to find names and addresses. However, the records do not give phone numbers. I have tried Facebook, LinkedIn, and google but am unable to find phone numbers for most of the buyers. Do you have any special tricks or websites you use to procure a phone number for a company name or LLC?

Thank you in advance!
