Hi Scott, I am a total amature and I am looking at leaping into the same type of thing but with existing tenants and probably no real rehab.I am a disabled vet, 100% service connected, combat injuries, but better now.I don't know anything about taxes and city fees etcetera. i am in Colorado Springs. do you know how i do about finding these things?

Don't even respond to such a fraudulent request. $80k per month income but a 500 credit score. 

In my experience (personally, through networking, and by reading on the subject online), the vast majority of these cases are fraudulent.

There are numerous steps we can take to combat this lunacy.

If you were to buy knowing that your job is going to be moving you, then you're on shaky (fraudulent) ground.You can rent out your primary after moving.

Look, there's nothing even slightly illegal or fraudulent about the way this transaction was conducted. 

In your example the Daily News reporters did not steal title to the Empire State Building, they merely recorded a fraudulent deed that conveyed no title, and very well may have committed a crime in doing so.You are correct the Seminole County Clerk of the Court does allow a property owner to register their property and receive notice when an instrument (deed, mortgage, affidavit of interest, etc) purporting to affect the title is recorded, as many counties in many states including NY allow you to.Protect Your Property from Deed Fraud (nyc.gov)Sign up for the Notice of Recorded Document Program: The City Register will automatically mail you a notification when a new document is recorded against your property.

You are literally going to the very place most likely to call you out on it as fraudulent, to then request there assistance to help it make you more $. 

I think you are right about this approach being fraudulent.

If your thought is to buy it, get financing then lie to the banks and transfer it to the LLC you most likely have lost ALL asset protection since what your doing is probably considered fraudulent if something were to occur.
