If your county has a website with a county gis map, that is an AWESOME tool. You can view different parts of your county to determine land and property values. It sure beats driving around all day just to find what the property is worth. You can even view the 'propery card' which is a sheet of all the 'grantors' and 'grantees'. A grantor is the mortage owner and a grantee is a mortage payer (they pay the mortage owner). A county website will also have a section for previous sales price, tax values, and pertient owner information. One county site even has comp sales for different parts of the county in a given time frame. You can learn alot just by viewing the maps. Just recently I discoverd that my current city has million dollar homes and two golf courses, and I thought the place was a dump. Silly me lol. My thing now is that I want to contact some of the developers in my county to determine if I can partner with them some how.
