If you're like most people here, you want to make life-changing money...but you're overwhelmed with 'I don't know where to start'. Think of it as eating an elephant - take one bite at a time. If you haven't already chosen a market, do some research on which market you'd like to tap into first. Metro areas with high property valuations is somewhere I'd start and then look into their intestacy succession or ESTATES CODE for that state. Find the estates code by typing this into google or Perplexity AI: Find me the estates code for STATE and explain it to me as if you were speaking to a 7th grader. (No offense to anyone here, I just like simple terms). This is important to know because if you've committed to the decision of becoming a Curative Title Practitioner, you need to be informed on legal and terminology otherwise you're going to up a creek without a paddle (my English teach always said this 😂) & of course you need to know if you're working in a Non-Probate or Probate State. Take this role seriously because of the risk involved...that goes without to say, HIGH RISK, HIGH REWARD. There's so much more to this, however, I'll give you bite size pieces of this big a** elephant. I'm curious which markets ya'll are considering or tapping into already. Let me know in the chat and let's create some momentum!!

When you go to the tax assessor's site, what do you see? If you go just to say you went and got the total arrears, and that's it...you're missing out on so much more of a story. It's kind of like you going to the gym and not lifting any weights...how are you supposed to grow muscle and get the definition you want? Comment 'show me' below and I'll share with you what I see just from this page alone.

Would you go after this prospective lead? Why or why not?

If you're not using Landglide...your parents are siblings. It's one of thee most useful and economical ($9.99/mon) tools you can equip yourselves with when researching. I love using it especially when you're investigating seemingly low value properties because you can enter in the owner name and if they happen to own multiple properties, they will show up here. It even has the link to County CAD's site (as seen in blue circle). There's even deed history, flood zone views, and so much more. Also, this isn't a paid advertisement, but I definitely should look into that because I promote this site so much 😂.

In some CADs across Texas, there is a 'Deed History' located towards the bottom of the County's page for the property you are researching. You can locate the deed with either the Volume & Page number or 'Deed Number'. If using the 'Deed Number', enter that number into the 'Quick Search' circled in the second picture. If using the Volume & Page info, use the 'Advanced Search' option as seen in the 3rd pic. Seems like this should be common sense to know, but hey for those of us that didn't come out of the womb with mad research skills and title abstracting knowledge, this one is for you.
