The main hassle of conventional lending is being able to provide proof of income and seasoning.

Tenants will set up insurance, show you proof, then cancel their policy right after moving in.

Here are some indicators to help you assess a buyer's seriousness:Questions: Serious buyers will ask detailed questions about the property, such as maintenance costs, neighborhood amenities, and property taxesStrong Offer: If a buyer makes a strong offer quickly, it often indicates a high level of interest and intent to purchasePrivate Buyers: If approached by a private buyer, ensure they provide a Letter of Intent (LOI) and proof of funds.  

Even the best property management companies (PMC) struggle with:- Finding reliable handyman and contractors (ServiceTechs)- Same with affordable ones- Tracking preventive maintenance- Tracking previous work for potential reoccurrence warranty coverage- Understanding tenant reported problems, so the correct ServiceTech can be dispatched- Determining if tenant is at fault for an issue & should be charged - and will proof stand up in court?

If you assign the contract get proof of funds in advance and make sure they are trust worth.

To be transparent, there is not 100% full proof way of preventing fraud.

So, generally, they'll talk to you with rose-tinted glasses and have you drink the cool aid.It doesn't mean you can't find a deal though.

Proof of concept seems to be a key part of your strategy starting off.
