That seems to be something that would be out of their jurisdiction...Of course, I'm not an attorney, and I guess I've heard stranger things...

I don't think there is anything wrong about sending a HUD to a stranger, right?!!

To the op, if you can't deal with the creepy/awkwardness of having a stranger in your house, you shouldn't be renting rooms out.

They're doing deals and share.This is a blog where strangers exchange emails, maybe some commerce is happening, seeds are planted.

I am no stranger or have any issues with working hard, I think reaching out to more people and trying to network is where I lack.

Jon, we are no strangers to concrete cutting.

And if the house was recently appraised by a stranger(let's say only one month ago), will it show up on a record?

How would these strangers work out who pays what?

It's easily for me to get a stranger to sign my 8 page lease than have a friend fill out an app/lease/pay me.Have a strong lease that's valid in your state and have your lawyer look it over.Eviction list?

But an idea for outsourcing the groundwork is to hire someone on craigslist to go take pics of the interior, exterior, have them go in with a checklist to estimate repairs, or anything else but how much trust do you have for a stranger from craigslist?
