I’m lining up my first small assignment — a locate on a former tenant who left owing two months’ rent — and trying to picture the flow. If you’ve done a first locate, what did day one look like for you (where you started, roughly how long on public records vs. field work), and what do you wish you’d prepped? I know laws and licensing rules vary, so I’ll do my own research locally — just looking for real-world examples to set expectations.
