What is it you do in real estate in Redding?

Only caution is if they don’t have checkbook control and there’s a time crunch going through the custodian can cause delays and red tape to deal with.  

On the other hand if they are a sponsor that is experienced in stopping a skin in the game, that's a huge red flag for me.c) how open to scrutiny are they?

Donating money to large (FEMA, Red Cross), local organizations or Go Fund Me pages would be the quickest way.

I am pretty much expecting red tape but hoping to be surprised. 

From a legal standpoint, sure, it's not much different other than the paperwork and govt red tape.

You can find some diamonds in the rough don't get me wrong but if you aren't experienced enough to see red flags in the property/ transaction they can be costly. 4.

Verify employment and call previous landlords to avoid tenants with red flags.Rent Setting: Research comparable rentals in your neighborhood to ensure your rent is competitive.Use Technology: RentRedi is a great choice.

I received a banned message in red. could you help me @Mindy Jensen .  

As far as I can tell, this may be over capacity and is also a huge red flag.
