Determined fraudsters can evade detection, having an attorney involved adds an extra layer of protection, increasing the chances of identifying fraudulent activity before it's too late.

This is what I've gathered from your message.If you're going to try to get him to sell to you anyways after you do all of this research/detective work to find out if he has property, why not just ask him?

That's mission #1 for you here, and that they know they are to be using it any time the stove is on (you can even have sensors that turn them on automatically whenever heat or smoke is detected).

Then once you have used someone you like you keep their number in your phone.They make a wifi water shutoff valve that can detect leaks and turn off the water to the house.

You have to be a detective sometimes and the MLS listings rarely have information displayed in a way that is intuitive for newer investors to figure out (plus half the time the info is wrong). 

I can have a detective Columbo vibe:) I regularly come across some very smart folks like yourself who I quiz consistantly for educational purposes. 

Property management says there are no leaks detected. 

It can be just hung on the fence and will send out ultrasound to dogs once the microphone detects barking. 

I am not a detective.

It would be how I failed to detect an issue that could have easily led to the death of a person.
