Consolidated USA investment toolkit

Hi Everyone,I have found a few Useful resources scattered here and there in the forums and thought i might try and consolidate some useful information in one place.

Post below if you have either

a) The name / website link of a good property agent / lawyer/ conveyancer / other relevant professional based in the USA based on personal experience with them.

b) a link to a good Research tool and state why it is good to use eg: http://www.corporationwiki.com/  – good for finding who is affiliated with a business.

c) a link to a USA Government site that links directly to useful data for investors, lord knows it can be hard to find exactly what you need on those sites (and there are a ton of them). eg: demographics, disaster prone area's , crime rates – this way it's official data and not what's being fed to us by an agent looking for a sale.

My aim here is to try and make things easier for those who are new to this, and maybe unearth a few gems that the longtime investors can make use of too.
