In the times we live in where identity theft is very real, I would think many qualified tenants would refuse to supply this information.  

If they steal it from there then it's a police matter and when they are found in possession of the goods it's theft clean and simple.

Not identical but should be pretty analogous...I have my law firm incorporated and operating as an LLC.

Garfield Park -- eh, I wouldn't be comfortable buying there even though it has gorgeous buildings you can get for a steal. 

There could be crazy things happening in the area that would make it turn bad, you'll never know unless you get out there and look HOWEVER a good trustworthy realtor will already know these things and they won't steal you into a place that has bad upside potential especially if they think you're going to be a loyal investor.

I'm looking to network with someone who lives in the state of New Mexico that has completed similar, if not identical transactions.I am willing to include a partner that is willing to help me complete this transaction.SarehYegh(at)Gmail(dot)com

We have an identical situation in North Dakota right now and I am also having trouble valuing SFRs and town homes.

In my other research I turned up a complaint on this web site stating that the same company, but different name, was operating an identity theft scheme.I did not attempt to contact this person."

Or it could be a house thats been stripped on the inside with nothing left to steal outside of windows and he just could not care about the house itself any more.

Still stealing, especially if some of that was the roommate's money.
