NO one in their right mind would loan money like that.and of course NO one in the business asks for money up front other than appraisals and or modest app fee something like 100 to 200 dollars.also they have verifiable presence.the other clue is poor grammar ( I know mine is poor LOL) and spelling.. and semi foreign sounding or use of English.99.9% you send the money they will ask for more but will never fund have never funded a deal and are just thieves taking advantage of those that are unfamiliar with loan process and terms.

Nice post there was a thread on Do hard money actually been many of them. they will actually fund 100% but you need to pay them a 3k fee or there about up front with no guarantee of funding then its something like 650 per submission according to those who have tried it and posted on BP .. so many of the folks posting on the thread about the company paid the up front money 2 to 3k the 650 submission fees a few times and the deals were never good enough in the eyes of the funding company.. so there you go out 3 to 4k and time and effort.. some on top of it some  were naïve enough to put down non refundable EM with a wholesaler and lost that as well.its quite a model... little to no down side risk and prey on newbies who are the most vulnerable and want to get into the game and I suspect most of them even pull the 2 to 3k fee off of credit cards.So what do you have1. newbie  ( does not really know what a deal is yet2. limited capital but burning desire so they risk the 2 to 3k3. only a screaming deal gets funded as you stated.. newbies generally don't fall off the truck into screaming deals.then you have on the internet  what I call pump and dump due diligence scammers  these are flat out crooks of the Nigerian prince scam mode.. promise you 3% loan 100%  two e mails and your approved.. broken English just need 500.00 to move forward...

@James English Thank you.

But if it is something more serious, I would be knocking on doors and trying to have conversations and back it up with plain English written notification.

I am English and live in Montana.

Thanks @Keaton English!

You make a good point Martin Saenz about someone always wanting to sell their portfolios.I was watching a video of some guy I find interesting who teaches and has a school for teaching English as a Foreign language in Vietnam and he was answering a question as to whether the market is getting saturated.He made the point that there is more people “discovering” Vietnam but people don’t stay there forever.

My Potential tenants do not speak English the contract that I am going to have them sign is going to be in English should I consider in hiring a translator or try to get a contract in Spanish and if so how do i get one in Spanish?
