When I started I did a lot of small deals and conducted my own title searches. 

Similar to conducting business with friends.

If they do, my guess is the judge will not be impressed with how this man conducted himself and you can expect fast judgement in your favor.Most states prohibit recording conversations without both parties consenting.

As far investors friendly, I have an excellent understanding on flips, buy and holds, apartment building investing, and using IRA to conduct real estate transactions.

Based upon the advice and epiphany provided from you and @Frank Wong, I’m currently changing my mindset and process to conduct all business transactions in good faith.Thank you for your input, Brandon.

You're the business that keeps accepting overqualified applicants for key positions and keeps losing them to headhunters because they have so many options other than working for your stingy self.So I guess my slumlord bonafides are now fully on disply with this post, but I'll continue treating my tenants like human resources to be fully exploited to the best of my abilities (just like a corporation), and you can keep on looking for exemplars of the finest past conduct to fill your vacancies (people whose next step is buying a house when they get sick of renting, with their good credit and excellent record), and we'll both do well in our market segments, you in your clean Canadian suburbs, me in my Rust Belt ghetto cesspits.Frankly, if I had a tenant applicant show up with the kind of clean record you're looking for where I own low-income rental properties in the 'Burgh, I'd immediately suspect identity theft.

I’d like to conduct a background check on potential renters.

Conducting fix n flips should be owned through an s-Corp while rental properties should be held in an LLC.  

I am aware of wholesalers that try to make the deal into a "win-win" for both themselves and the seller, and in speaking with them I think this can actually be a potential competitive advantage.I'm relatively new to BP and still 'researching' how the majority of wholesalers operate, but it seems to me that real estate purchase option agreements are a more elegant way to conduct this type of business.I'm in the process of trying to put together a blog that, hopefully, will allow me to demonstrate this. 

I first however verify income requirements and conduct a throughal phone screening.
