[quote=flu]…I think me and my capital investor will have to simply go door to door, especially to homes not for sale, to see for ourselves. maybe the microfilms in the basement of the county assessor’s office will provide the clues I need.
Did you know in exchange for the access to the microfilms all I need to do is help remove the county assessor’s acoustic ceilings?[/quote]
Uhhh, flu, I think you may have the wrong address. Besides taking your “bulk-order” of plat maps, the “assessor’s office” cannot help you and your “investor friend” with determining value or construction quality of properties or tracts.
Because of “Prop 13,” CA county assessors are not set up that way. In addition, their “basement” (with its stored bankers boxes and microfiche was built in 1937 (before the advent of “accoustical ceiling”). Instead, from its “basement” you will see (and hear) (color-coordinated) hot water pipes from above :=]
Why don’t you take your own “self-guided” tour? Informational kiosks are set up in the middle of the first floor next to and across from the brass elevators and staffed by volunteer “retired” humans who KNOW the ropes 🙂
