I don't know you're investor identity or what you're  goals are, so I can't tell if our company's are compatible.

I confronted my former tenant about this, and he is claiming that somebody must have stolen his identity, which seems highly improbable to me, especially given the timing.

I would never recommend granite,  the laminate now looks identical and gets lots of great feedback!   

Three investors who all have $100k cash come to a town with 3 identical streets that each have 10 identical duplexes for $100k each.

It looked identical to me.  

.- The seller has 2 duplexes that appear identical in Columbia county between Madison and Lake Wisconsin.- The pro forma rent is listed for $975 / month (estimated from gross income).- Each unit is 3BR / 2BA,1200 square feet.  

.$325 PP$250 Repairs$825 ARVExciting thing is that we just had a compClose on an almost identical home for $1.2m.

I removed their picture and name from the message for the sake of not revealing their identity.  

Is there a way as a tax lien or tax deed owner to hide my true identity from the property owner?

@Stephanie Beard  this is a total SCAM  ,  its the same as the Nigerian ( I need help with getting 10 million out of the country.)No one invest like this.. they will identity theft you is what will happen.. or they will then come back with you have to buy this security bond from a company in Thailand for 5k then the money will come. etc etc.I had an acquaintance place an add in craigs list in middle east ,  and Asia looking for money partners.. and she got bombarded with these exact same type of replys.. they can be some what convincing but they will at the end of the day try to get small dollars out of you.Again there is absolutely ZERO chance anyone is going to invest a large sum of money with someone they met on the internet and further as you claim have no real experience or funding already behind you..
