Hey @Lien Vuong - I've d4d'd around a few local towns collecting notes, pics, addresses - but have been holding off on anything until I feel like I have a presentable web presence to send them towards - almost there.After a couple deals and some cash my goal (hoping February... we'll see though) is to go the fha 203k route with a multi. 

That link is for an article I just published here on BP that spells out the details of how you can meet this requirement easily and cheaply.As always, make sure you have a competent real estate attorney on your side if you choose to follow through with forming any kind of legal entity or agreement (like a JV Agreement or Limited Partnership).

I'll try to answer the key ones.Private Money Lender - since they are "private" most don't have a store front or a web page. 

Unless the current owner pulls out statements showing their balance to you and/or unless the trustee has published the bid amount (Which is usually the total debt owed or a formula of the total debt owed), you won't know what's owed.

That was my first thought when I posted the website... but libel, as I understand it is, "a published false statement that is damaging to a person’s reputation; a written defamation."

So guys and gals what do yall use such as web sites apps and such to screen tenants?

Mike,Thank you so  much for the welcoming.I am not familiar with the BP's web site, but I will learn.
