Started my real estate investing journey early last year and since then have been doing a lot of research on properties at the court house. I have found that process to be very intriguing and enjoy researching the properties to see the chains of custody.
I have also had someone tell to go get my notary license and also try and do title research, but still would like more insight into the business.

Getting your notrial commission is a good first step if you want to get into it. But I'm pretty sure you can become a title insurance producer without that commission. Either way though, the notarial commission-and the accompanying course I'd suggest to anyone who goes to sit for the test beforehand-will (if it's taught by a decent instructor) do a bit of a deep dive on immovable property, how to transfer it, and also property descriptions using metes/bounds and Section/Township/Range type stuff. Louisiana is unique in that we recognize the PLSS and the historical French/Spanish arpents and other descriptors as well.

Which would be helpful if you're going to dive deeper.

As an aside...how crazy is it that a system of land measurement and description devised by Thomas Jefferson is still the single most effective means of doing so we have today...more than 230+ years later?

The best place for you to start after initiating the process of becoming a Notary would be the Louisiana Land Title Association, or LLTA.
