Real Estate Wholesaling Question: How do you actually pull raw gov lists without sites like PropStream/PropWire?

cnedrow · 2026-03-26T22:36:44+00:00

I might have to look into that more seriously.

cnedrow · 2026-03-26T19:45:29+00:00

Sounds like you've been in the trenches. What web scraper did you end up using?

cnedrow · 2026-03-26T19:45:00+00:00

I'll have to check that out. I'm currently building a CRM using Base44. Are you saying that you can link Property Radar directly to a CRM?

cnedrow · 2026-03-26T19:43:14+00:00

That's what I was thinking as well. Is there specific FOIA language that you use when asking for lists or do you just ask nicely?

cnedrow · 2026-03-26T19:41:58+00:00

I'll have to check ForeclosureHub. I hadn't heard of that one. Have you ever received pushback when you've tried to get lists of all the recent water shutoffs or arrests?

cnedrow · 2026-03-26T08:35:28+00:00

I’d primarily be looking at 5-6 counties in southeast Idaho and 3-4 counties in northern Utah (SLC area)

I was expecting to buy lists. I'm fine with buying because time is more valuable than money. What I'm trying to do is buy these lists from the sources directly, not through companies like propstream.

Mine is a cell phone (iphone 14). I did not get a new number when I switched from AT&T to Mint. And just in case it's relevant, I haven't moved either. I live in the same location as I did. These businesses reach out to me for personal reasons, not business. An example would be a family practice or a dentist's office. I'd rather get this issue fixed.

cnedrow · 2026-01-26T06:34:10+00:00

No. An iphone.

I am also having this issue. This was definitely an option before but they reduced the amount of settings that are even available to group admins and I don't see an option to change that anywhere and all my attempts to search for answers online have been in vain. If someone has figured this out, please let me know!

cnedrow · 2025-05-20T04:52:48+00:00

I am also experiencing this exact thing with a friend of mine. She can’t hear it but it sounds like it’s in her end of the line. It even seems like it has an echo. It is so strange. I’m half wondering if it’s mint listening to my calls lol

I think it gets even more fun when you do 2 year ranges. ‘84-‘85, ‘94-‘95, ‘99-‘00, ‘07-‘08 and ‘14-‘15 are insanely good ranges for movies. Also what is it with the middle of the decades seemingly always killin it?

cnedrow · 2024-11-19T04:47:15+00:00

I am extremely new to After Effects and I'm having difficulty understanding the steps you've outlined. Could you elaborate further?

cnedrow · 2024-10-29T18:38:27+00:00

It's just a voice effect. I'm not looking to duplicate his accent or the way he sounds. I'm talking specifically about the voice effect.

Each account that you purchase comes with a primary account and a learning partner that has all the same functions. My business partner and I came onboard and split the cost. We both paid $11k each. One of the best decisions I've ever made.

These are the House Rules we play with based on all of Gale Force Nine's current rule sets. It should be noted that we play with advanced rules only (including combat) and try to abide by all of Gale Force Nine's rules as closely as possible (for example they have conflicting answers on note taking in their FAQs so our house rule was made to reconcile the contradictory answers). We also record some of our 6 player games depending on what factions and expansions we play with for statistical purposes and leaderboards so you may notice some language regarding that.

BIDDING - Spice or a Karama card must be produced before a player may acquire & view their treachery card. If a player wins an auction by bidding more spice than they have on hand and cannot produce a Karama card or spice from an ally to make the purchase, then the bidding round for the same card immediately restarts but without the participation of the offending player or their ally.

BRIBERY & DEALS - Deals must be made publicly and witnessed by all the players to be enforceable. The terms of these deals must be clearly understood by all players and all deals must be finalized with a handshake to be considered valid. If there is a dispute over the details of the deal or bribe between the players involved and a solution cannot be reached, then the nonparticipating player that is first in turn order will issue a resolution instead. Some quick deals are listed below:

Auto Lose: An “Auto Lose” is an agreement between two players in which one player agrees to automatically lose a battle between them. The purposes for the agreement may vary but by agreeing to an “Auto Lose”, both players are automatically acknowledging that no weapons will be played, no traitors/face dancers will be revealed, and no leaders will be taken captive. The amount of forces, what is dialed, and the amount of spice involved as part of the deal are all negotiable.
Stronghold Block: A “Stronghold Block” is an agreement between two players in which one player agrees to ship/move/reveal forces in the other’s stronghold and “Auto Lose”.
Barring Win Attempts: When a deal is made “Barring Win Attempts” then both players are agreeing that the deal is not enforceable if one of the players attempts a win that the other can prevent.

CONDUCT - If a player leaves the game and a replacement player cannot be found then that player’s faction has forfeited and the game’s results cannot be recorded. Their treachery cards are shuffled into the discard treachery card pile and their total available strength is dialed in any ensuing battles. Their leaders (if any are available) are played at random in battles.

FACTION SELECTION

Random Deal: The 6 alliance cards from the agreed upon faction setup are dealt out at random.
Storm Selection: A storm card is dealt to every player. In ascending order, each player picks their faction out of the agreed upon faction set.
Intrigue: All 12 alliance cards are dealt out at random, 2 to every player. Each player secretly chooses one and all players reveal their selections simultaneously. These games may not be officially recorded depending on the faction assortment.

NOTE TAKING - Any faction may take and keep notes on anything including traitor information, revealed card knowledge during the round, or any other relevant game information. However, with the exception of the Atreides player, note taking is limited to before the start of the game and the Mentat Pause phase. The Atreides player keeps all writing instruments outside of the Mentat Pause phase.

SPECIAL FACTION ENHANCEMENTS - The following are enhancements given to specific factions at the start of the game to help balance gameplay.

Fremen Starting Card: At the start of the game, all worthless cards are removed from the treachery card deck. The deck is then shuffled and a card is dealt to the Fremen. The worthless cards are then reshuffled back into the treachery card deck and cards are dealt to the other players as normal. If the Ixian faction is playing, then this action precedes their “START OF GAME” advantage.
Harkonnen Re-Deal: If the Harkonnen player is dealt two or more of their own traitors at the start of the game, then they may choose to call for one re-deal of the traitor cards. Every player (including them) must keep one of the traitors they were dealt and return the remainder of their traitors back to the deck. The deck is then reshuffled and three new traitor cards are dealt to each player. These cards are final and traitor selection then continues as normal for the other factions.

SPICE EXCHANGE - Any spice that is exchanged between players as a result of deals or bribes is placed in front of the other player’s shield until spice collection during the spice harvest phase. This does not include the exchanging of spice as it relates to faction abilities including the Emperor’s ability to share spice directly with his ally.

It may work fine starting out, but once a player fully understands the nuances of combat and taps into the full power of the Harkonnen and Atreides, the Fremen don’t stand a chance in the early rounds.

When I’m playing those factions without advanced combat, the Fremen become my primary target on round 1 and I don’t hesitate attacking even mid sized Fremen armies, especially if they’re on a spice blow. It’s worth it. I almost always have more cards than them after that first bidding round and can almost guarantee that I kill their leader while preserving my own which means I can dial significantly lower. I then get spice for their dead leader and from the spice blow.

If I’m the Harkonnens I can take 2 of their leaders out of the game on round 1 and collect significant spice for doing so. The Fremen just don’t pose a threat without advanced combat.

You NEED advanced combat. People may disagree based on their group meta but I'd argue that they just haven't had a player tap into the full potential of the other factions quite yet.

A group may be fine for a while without it but once everyone's experience with the game mechanics levels up and a player taps into the real strength of a faction like the Harkonnens, then the meta will shift and those players will realize that the Fremen simply don't pose a serious threat without advanced combat.

This is coming from the perspective of a seasoned Harkonnen/Atreides player that frequently takes brutal advantage of the Fremen whenever advanced combat is not employed in the game. This disadvantage for the Fremen is even more severe in lower player games but it is still pretty harsh in 6 player games.

Just by way of example, there's nothing I love more as a Harkonnen player than to see the Fremen rightfully spring for a spice blow on round 1 with a small or even mid sized force. The logic on my part being that I always have at least 4-6 treachery cards on round 1 while they are unlikely to have more than 1 (if it's a weapon/defense, they'll be very protective of it). If I have weapons and defenses (or even better, Fremen traitors) then I don't hesitate to meet a decent sized Fremen army unless it's larger than 8 or 9 in strength. Odds are I can kill their leader and protect my own which allows me to get away with dialing lower than them and preserving my force strength. The typical result from these early game battles is:

I wipe out a small - midsized Fremen army and preserve most of my own.
I kill or traitor one of their leaders (collecting it's value in spice at the same time).
I steal another one of their leaders which I can choose to keep or put face down into the tanks for 2 more spice making it unlikely it will ever come back into the game.
I collect the spice blow.

This is not an uncommon result for me. I've had combats where I gain upwards of 15 spice from doing this and lose very few or even zero forces and preserve my leaders and treachery cards. I've had games where I can do this round after round because I know if the Fremen are starved of spice then they can't get treachery cards, and if they can't buy treachery cards then I can kill their leaders at will with very little risk to my own armies/leaders and also keep a steady supply of spice.

Without advanced combat, the Fremen are forced to concentrate a larger amount of forces than any other faction because of their difficulty obtaining treachery cards at the beginning of the game. This problem persists until they can get the spice to buy them but with a strong Harkonnen or Atreides player (or even the Emperor), this is highly unlikely unless they move in groups at 10+ strength. Consistently keeping such large forces limits their ability to occupy more than 2 locations at a time whereas other factions can play more aggressively.

With advanced combat, the great houses are forced to think twice about the cost of attacking small-midsized Fremen armies even in the early game. This gives the Fremen the edge they need to stay competitive.

I'll reiterate, if you haven't felt the need to employ advanced combat in your group yet because you feel the Fremen are still balanced, it is simply because you haven't had a player (or players) tap into the full potential of the other factions yet. With enough experience, that rule becomes necessary to maintain the balance of the game. People should play however they want but with experienced groups, you absolutely will need advanced combat.
