Using Title Companies for Help

Title companies offer investors a variety of services. Chicago Title gives me access to their site where I can search property details. I can find out who the owner is and when they bought the property. I can also get the price paid for the property when the current owner bought it. Sometimes there are sales comparables for the property. It's best to call around to different title companies to see what services they offer. Most of these services are free and will help you become a better investor.
