When we got started in creative real estate investing, there were no recorder’s offices online.

Thankfully, the internet has made real estate investing so much easier.

Many of the county recorder offices let you search for real estate from the comfort of your own home computer. Each business day, physical documents are brought or mailed to the county recorder’s office. The documents are then scanned and placed online, or indexed and placed online, so you can search them.

And while searching for deals is one method of finding properties to purchase for your creative real estate investing business, I far prefer to let people come to me.

My next few articles will cover the concept of “prospecting pages” and how you can implement them in a creative manner, so that your real estate deals come to you while you sleep.
