how to become millionaire with real estate business_16

_{research credo has evolved into: Trust no one, assume nothing, verify everything,}

_{and be prepared for anything! I have learned the hard way not to automatically}

_{assume that all of the information contained in the official public records about a}

_{property is complete, up-to-date, and 100 percent accurate. It usually is not. The}

_{only way to obtain reliable, up-to-date information on a property and its owner is}

_{to go directly to the source of the information and then verif y it, which is exactly}

_{what due diligence is all about. The purpose for performing due diligence on a}

_{potential option property is to gather the most up-to-date and verifiable information}

_{available in order to make an informed option buying decision. And, given}

_{the Internet and the vast amount of property-related information that is readily}

_{available online today, there is absolutely no valid excuse for anyone not to perform}

_{due diligence on potential option properties before they plunk down their}

_{hard-earned money to buy a real estate option. But what I really like most about}

_{using the Internet to do research on properties is that I am free to snoop around}

_{having to deal with the snotty clerks that are all too prevalent in government offices}

_{today. In today's wired world, computer-savvy option investors can quickly}

_{perform most of their property due diligence research by using their personal}

_{computer and an Internet connection linking them to the myriad of web sites that}

_{contain information on a property's:}

_{1. Ownership.}

_{2. Liens.}

_{3. Sales history.}

_{4. Tax assessed value.}

_{6. Crime rate.}

_{7. Demographic information.}
