Eight Mile Cemetery - Abandoned Old West Cemetery & School
The Eight Mile Cemetery. This abandoned cemetery is located in Wasco County, Oregon. The building at the end of the video was in fact a school, not a church. Back then they seemed to look so much the same! Also, I found out after the publishing, that this cemetery and school is the last evidence of the town of 8 Mile, which makes it a ghost town!

How to look up deeds and land records to research a property's history
It's never been easier to research the history of a property. Every county clerk is different, but most offer web searches that let you search decades of digitized land records. Here's how you do it:
1:10 What are deeds and where are they filed? Explaining the difference between grantor and grantee
1:45 Types of property records filed at the courthouse, such as deeds and tax liens.
2:00 Two government agencies help you track down deeds: Your county's appraisal district, and your county clerk.
3:20 First example of how to search for a deed: What was the history of the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas? Learning more about the Daughters of the Republic of Texas.
8:04 Second example: How to find a deed if you don't know the owner's name.
13:45 How to search for a deed by address -- a lesson in how to look up the legal description of a property. All about my house.

In this short guide you will learn how to find a zip code by address, which can be useful if you want to send a surprise letter to someone but you don't know their zip code.
Step # 1 -- Visit USPS.com
To get started, open up your web browser and visit usps.com. You will know that you're on the correct page if you see Look up a ZIP Code in big text.
Step # 2 -- Filling in the Form
In order to figure out the zip code you will need to fill out this short form. You will need to know the rest of the address in order for the website to tell you the correct zip code. Fill in Street Address, City and State to continue.
Step # 3 -- Finding out the ZIP Code
Now all you need to do is click the blue Find button and the website will pull up the complete address. The next page will say You entered: and then list the incomplete address that you filled in. Directly below, you will see either one, or a list of addresses. Most likely, you just see one and you can then determine the zip code by address.
How To Do Your Own Title Search (With or Without Title Insurance) - Training Tutorial
One of the most crucial steps to closing on any real estate transaction is the title search. As an investor, you need to do prudent research and be 100% sure that the person you're buying from has a clear title to the property. You need to ensure that you're getting a deed and paying the actual property owner (not somebody else who thinks they own the property, or is lying to you and claiming that they own it). When I bought my first house, this whole concept really confused me and if you're new to real estate, it may seem confusing to you too...
Why A Clear Title Matters
In a lot of ways, it's a similar process to buying an car.
Suppose you see a car parked in someone's driveway with a FOR SALE sign in the window. The car looks nice, so you walk up to the house, knock on the door and say I saw this car parked in your driveway, is it yours? The person replies, No, but I'll sell it to you for $10,000!
There's obviously something wrong with this picture. A person can't sell something they don't legally own -- and while it sounds like a ridiculous conversation, you'd be surprised at how often I've come across situations just like this in the real estate business.
How does this kind of issue come up in the first place? There are a lot of ways but most often, I come across people who have inherited property from their parents or relatives and somewhere along the way, the proper paperwork was never filed to give them the legal right to sell the property. Other times, people buy properties without doing their own due diligence and then THEY get stuck with a property without a clear title. One way or another, people can end up with their name on the tax bill (and in some cases, on the actual deed), but somewhere in the chain of title (as recorded in the county's historical documentation of the property) the property wasn't transferred correctly from seller to the buyer.
Another key reason you'll want to do a title search is to make sure there aren't any liens or mortgages on the property. Especially when you're offering people a very small amount of cash for their property (like I tend to do), there will be times when they conveniently neglect to mention that they have a $100,000 mortgage or $20,000 construction lien that is still tied to that property. If you fail to catch this in your title search before closing on the deal, these issues will fall into your lap along with the property.
If you make enough offers and buy enough properties, you will eventually run into this issue. When you do, it's usually a problem that doesn't have a quick or easy solution.
Knowing When It's Worth The Price
Admittedly, doing your own title search will open you up to some risk. There is always the possibility that you'll miss some crucial piece of information along the way. However, I have done a few dozen title searches on my own over the years and I have never been burned by it. As a personal rule -- the only time I do my own title searches is when the expected market value of the property is less than $10K (i.e. -- we're talking exclusively rinky dink properties here). As soon as I start dealing with substantial deals in the tens of thousands, I never leave it to chance. At that point, the cost of a full-blown title insurance policy is more than worth the cost. #retipster #sethwilliams #landinvesting #realestateinvesting #realestate

Auburn Coach Wife Kristi Malzahn Agrees with Match & eHarmony: Men are Jerks
My advice is this: Settle! That's right. Don't worry about passion or intense connection. Don't nix a guy based on his annoying habit of yelling Bravo! in movie theaters. Overlook his halitosis or abysmal sense of aesthetics. Because if you want to have the infrastructure in place to have a family, settling is the way to go. Based on my observations, in fact, settling will probably make you happier in the long run, since many of those who marry with great expectations become more disillusioned with each passing year. (It's hard to maintain that level of zing when the conversation morphs into discussions about who's changing the diapers or balancing the checkbook.)
Obviously, I wasn't always an advocate of settling. In fact, it took not settling to make me realize that settling is the better option, and even though settling is a rampant phenomenon, talking about it in a positive light makes people profoundly uncomfortable. Whenever I make the case for settling, people look at me with creased brows of disapproval or frowns of disappointment, the way a child might look at an older sibling who just informed her that Jerry's Kids aren't going to walk, even if you send them money. It's not only politically incorrect to get behind settling, it's downright un-American. Our culture tells us to keep our eyes on the prize (while our mothers, who know better, tell us not to be so picky), and the theme of holding out for true love (whatever that is—look at the divorce rate) permeates our collective mentality.
Even situation comedies, starting in the 1970s with The Mary Tyler Moore Show and going all the way to Friends, feature endearing single women in the dating trenches, and there's supposed to be something romantic and even heroic about their search for true love. Of course, the crucial difference is that, whereas the earlier series begins after Mary has been jilted by her fiancé, the more modern-day Friends opens as Rachel Green leaves her nice-guy orthodontist fiancé at the altar simply because she isn't feeling it. But either way, in episode after episode, as both women continue to be unlucky in love, settling starts to look pretty darn appealing. Mary is supposed to be contentedly independent and fulfilled by her newsroom family, but in fact her life seems lonely. Are we to assume that at the end of the series, Mary, by then in her late 30s, found her soul mate after the lights in the newsroom went out and her work family was disbanded? If her experience was anything like mine or that of my single friends, it's unlikely.
And while Rachel and her supposed soul mate, Ross, finally get together (for the umpteenth time) in the finale of Friends, do we feel confident that she'll be happier with Ross than she would have been had she settled down with Barry, the orthodontist, 10 years earlier? She and Ross have passion but have never had long-term stability, and the fireworks she experiences with him but not with Barry might actually turn out to be a liability, given how many times their relationship has already gone up in flames. It's equally questionable whether Sex and the City's Carrie Bradshaw, who cheated on her kindhearted and generous boyfriend, Aidan, only to end up with the more exciting but self-absorbed Mr. Big, will be better off in the framework of marriage and family. (Some time after the breakup, when Carrie ran into Aidan on the street, he was carrying his infant in a Baby Björn. Can anyone imagine Mr. Big walking around with a Björn?)
