You know... something hit me while reading this thread...

It's not just what I buy that helped me decide one of our mainstream avenues, but what I research. I've spent a lot of time reviewing home sales in our area and the tax assessment site to review my ever changing property taxes.

It started with looking for the owner of record of a house on our street that has been empty for some time. I thought I'd contact the person and see if they wanted to sell it. It was the time I used working through these sites that took me to the states requirements to sell real estate, mortgages, etc. on-line.

While I put a lot of stake in using your own purchasing as a method of determining a product... what are you researching that may point you in a new direction, too?

My best,
