[@patmurphy389]

phil, that's funny, i was raised in volusia county & live in tennessee now......you guys were in tennessee & moved to florida....lol..my brother was a real estate agent in volusia county & he told me about the property records being online-I don't have any problem looking up properties in my area or anywhere else usually. (I probably should have told you about his house that was abandoned in holly hill)....he passed away three years ago, thank you phil for the information !

[@Thejasonrogers]

I’ve watched EVERY one of your videos and read both books. I hope this knowledge will change my life!

[@freedom_mentor]

[@GoddessShekmet444]

Super informative!

[@radeeshabrown8744]

Thanks for the information!

[@QC-Nado]

Hi Phil, thanks for this great video. Are the recorded records available to the public in Canada or you have to ask to a notary?

[@davedwave7]

That’s is great stuff. Can you recommend a video on what to do once you find the owner? Do you go to an agent and make a formal offer? Are the back taxes paid at closing?

[@freedom_mentor]

[@paystar3436]

Thanks Phil !

[@marioderioverde4470]

Thanks Phil,I'm learning a lot,thank you very much.

[@ciriahinojosa4979]

Thank you I was starting to stress out trying to find out where I need to look for this info. Where/who would i call for info regarding code violation?

[@freedom_mentor]

Codes Department for the local county/city.

[@triciad3158]

What is the charge for RealQuest?

[@1ReedsWorld]

Good Video Phil👍

[@Tyson007ian]

Hey Phil, I was really curious as to what is your own personal net worth? Great videos by the way :)

[@markjohnson3192]

What about Canada? What sites can we use for Canadian properties?

[@robbrownstone]

Thank you Phil!!

[@abdulhadialjahili7400]

It is very useful thank you keep up the good work 👍🏻

[@ERogers-qw2hp]

great video. I've been looking into real estate investing for some time, I came across your book a few days ago. I just finished and its changing my world.

[@latashalove708]

How has your Real Estate investing improved since watching this video 2 years ago? Did this video and his book help you invest?

[@chevybronco1833]

Phil I need your help.. I found a house vacant I actually used to rent.. it's been condemed and the owner lived in florida.. the house is in ohio. I have researched it and the owner has died. I cant get ahold of any of the family. How do I find out why it was condemed and can I pay the taxes on it and get it out of the condemed statis and do an adverse possession on it I guess?

[@freedom_mentor]

Connect with a real estate attorney about it.

[@poopoopapa7236]

My goodness this helped...bless u

[@Hamgravy1633]

Do you know of any website that would offer a way to obtain the permits that have been pulled on the property? To know before you buy if an add-on may be legal or not?

[@freedom_mentor]

The local governmental office that issues permits is the only place to obtain them. Knowing when to pull them and when to try to get away with not pulling them...that requires expertise from a local contractor who has experience in that realm.

[@MarcusLeepapi]

Thank you very much...

[@LynxStarAuto]

You're in Florida Phil?

[@grindtime5989]

Phil can you do a video on investing in Raw land and also Lots, commercial and residential. thank you

[@777dingo]

same as homes, just don't buy in the flood zone

[@patmurphy389]

phil, ty for the video...i've seen a house that is vacant & i've looked up the property records, also found newspaper articles about the owner...it seems he was jailed for domestic abuse & now lives in another state, this was this year/august, the property taxes have not been paid this year/they were supposed to be paid in march. They have been paid for the other years, he bought the property in 2007. Is there a way to pay the property taxes & get quiet title to the house? (it's unknown to me if a bank holds a mortgage or not.) p.s. i grew up in daytona, so hey there!

[@freedom_mentor]

You can buy the tax lien when it goes up for sale. Call the local tax collector to ask when the tax lien will be going up for sale. After you have owned the tax lien for a few years, you may be able to obtain title.

[@patmurphy389]

thank you phil!...i will see what i can find out(more info)

[@sabinepabst4227]

I live in TN and own several tax deed properties. Unfortunately title insurance companies will not give title insurance on them for 20 years. Been told that I need to get Quit Claim Deeds from previous owners.

[@freedom_mentor]

That is certainly the case in Tennessee.

[@rikostakz]

loved this video

[@wnytrashtrucks]

this is nice I hopefully can keep up with a vacant house two doors down from me.

[@SuperGingery]

Phil, I'm curious - should I (we) not set up a corporation first and get a bank account so that when we do start collecting checks we have these things in order?

[@freedom_mentor]

Watch this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHLZkJ2QjLp_aas

[@charleneadams1437]

Hello Phil, I am not sure why the website is different for other states. I'm trying to locate the owner of a property in Pennsylvania (Bucks county) and the Tax Collector Tab is not even there. By any chance do you know if there is any other way? Thank you very much

[@freedom_mentor]

Google "Bucks County Pennsylvania Tax Assessor" or "Bucks County Pennsylvania Tax Collector"

[@charleneadams1437]

Thank you very much. I am studying for my Real Estate test and doing my first flip

[@joellemoore6377]

I went to high school in bucks cty...nice area. cherry hill is pretty great too

[@lekeishahill5870]

My neighbors got killed in a car accident several years ago. The records show that the property is still in their names c/o a local attorney. How can I approach this?

[@freedom_mentor]

Connect with their heirs.

[@LynxStarAuto]

Lekeisha Hill that is probably a can of worms. You probably have to deal with an estate and several relatives who are running it, all at odds with each other. Yet, the worse you can do is not try!

[@madalayang]

YOU. ARE. AWESOME!!!!!!!

[@farscapechater]

Is it possible to buy a property that's been boarded for years from the Housing Authority?

[@freedom_mentor]

Maybe. Ask that Housing Authority.

[@mr.g937]

Just a technicality - the "Federal National Mortgage Association" is Fannie Mae, not Freddie Mac.

[@kentheengineer592]

Phil Pustejovsky how do you register for netr Online im having troubles in AZ

[@freedom_mentor]

If you are registering, you are hitting the wrong links on that site. No registration is required

[@PROUDBEAUTIFUL]

Phil how can I sign up to be mentored ? I have questions

[@freedom_mentor]

Apply here: www.freedommentor.com/apprentice

[@PROUDBEAUTIFUL]

Phil Pustejovsky Hey Phil, Ive been trying to sign up all day on the freedommentor site. But ot just says processing all day. Ive tried refreshing a couple of times. Id like to sign up

[@marsiasc2280]

This the missing link.... I'm glad I'd saved it.

[@grayeagle1000]

I missed it, how much are the books?

[@grayeagle1000]

Great Teacher.

[@MasterDayTrader]

How accurate, as far as MLS market value, is Real Quest, compared to Real List?

[@freedom_mentor]

[phone] I never trust AVMs. Computers are lousy at assessing values based on comps at this point. This video explains: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKrZgnufgNGblck

[@TheKvnkristi]

you mentioned in the video that realist and realquest are free, however they are not, or you need to have a MLS license for membership. Are there free equivalent sources?

[@freedom_mentor]

Realist is free for real estate agents; for non-real estate agents, you can pay for RealQuest.

[@TheKvnkristi]

Thank you. does RealQuest have the same information as it is available on county websites? Or do they have more?

[@freedom_mentor]

They arrange the public records in a very easy to view format. The actual data they provide is sourced from public records so if you have the time and savvy to locate all the data yourself in the public records, you don't need to pay for RealQuest.

[@coreycobrette]

what if the house has back taxes,how would you approach this?

[@freedom_mentor]

They would need to get paid just like any other lien at the closing.

[@cheryljoyce2969]

what if they are paying the bank but they have the house borded up?

[@francesb-p2441]

Whats the Canadian equivalent of this?

[@shelbygarrett7340]

thanks for all that you have giving me. 2018

[@annrezonesiwvle-letsreason6627]

I enjoyed watching your video...I am a 4th year Medical student and I have always find Realestate fascinating as well as medicine. I drove around quite a lot and see home/houses that are vacant.. Now once you use NETR and gather pertinent information. and get a hold of the homes what do you do from there assuming... I have only 1000$ saved.

[@freedom_mentor]

Get in touch with the owner and get the deal under contract. All you need is about $10 to get the deal under contract.

[@corymartin100]

Dam good stuff

[@realestateking5219]

If you can find out all this information before closing why do you need title insurance?

[@freedom_mentor]

In case you were wrong.

[@realestateking5219]

Phil Pustejovsky thanks Phil. Read both your books, loved them both

[@fred1521]

Phil please change the title of this video so that people can know how this video has this strong material

[@freedom_mentor]

What should the title be?

[@fred1521]

Phil Pustejovsky I don't know but it's kind of personal to me. 1. I watched almost every video of yours but kept skipping on this, so for some reasons I said am most skipping it anymore so I watched and Lord knows the knowledge I got. 2. Me and my partner are starting to do real estate on the side that's why we spend too much time on your channel, we had 2 homes one of them being vacant so we alway wonder what's going on with them and how can we know about them and if possible make an offer on one of them if not both we flip and sell or just sell them to a constructor for some profit so the video opened my eyes on how to dig and get some infos on the house(s).. Thank you and keep up the work, people like us beginners depend on you. Now we looking for a mentor in our local area too here

[@freedom_mentor]

Finding a mentor that really knows what they are doing in your local area should be next-to-impossible. Because if he/she really knows what they were doing, they wouldn't tell you. I don't mentor anyone in my local area. It would be financially idiotic. But you will find plenty of people that will offer to teach you how to invest in real estate in your area...they just won't be great mentors that can help you truly excel in this business.

[@fred1521]

Phil Pustejovsky So how can me and my partner get to the group of the ones you mentor because we are really into this as our side job until years later when we feel comfortable to quit our fulltime jobs and do real estate as fulltime.

This is my method for finding what Property is Good / Bad according to all facts.. Taxes are most important to me...

[@tedted2138]

I'm in Orlando. Do you have an office nearby or a phone number I can call?

[@freedom_mentor]

[@firesign4297]

😊👍👍

[@cheryljoyce2969]

Or they still owe payment to the bank for the home.

[@MrNas667]

You are awesome

[@ministeriounamanoeneldesie1615]

Hey Phil.

[@leacole5583]

Would if the state does not have Property Appraiser, then how do you find it? i was trying to find it in Philadelphia, PA....

[@kevinhuynh893]

all your information is good but when i do like you they say i have to pay or like this by subscription only can you do the one is free and the realquest.com the same thing i think that for real estate can you do the not work for real estate please thk so much

[@freedom_mentor]

Check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/baHYfqdpfLqifqc

[@sandymoonstone855]

. this guy can spiff up a house yet dresses himself from second hand store.

[@waleedyousif1546]

Thank YOu!

[@jontegolson2701]

what if it has taxes on the house what do I do please help

[@MicahSpivey]

What if the owner of the property is dead, and their heir lives in jail? How do I acquire the property then?

[@freedom_mentor]

If the ownership has properly passed to the heir (typically probate is required), then you can buy it from the incarcerated heir.

[@MicahSpivey]

Since the lady died in 2011 wouldn't it seem like probate would have already been taken care of? I don't know how all that works. If it is already taken care of who do you talk to to find out who's responsible for that house? The options you gave in this video only give me information about the dead lady, but not who currently has the right to sell. Thank you for all these videos they are very helpful 👍🏾

[@Jcseoenz]

Micah what was the result? What did you do? ….i’m in the same situation. :)
