You certainly can discriminate against people who have had an eviction, as you can discriminate for many other reasons, such as insufficient income or certain types of criminal convictions.

I'm going to use SmartMove for my credit and criminal background checks. 

He has a clean background (no criminal activity) and no evictions came up on the credit/background search. 

I majored in entrepreneurship at Baylor University and it helped tremendously in how I run my investment business, but otherwise in getting a career it was limiting as it is viewed as a general business degree.No offense to Real Estate Agents as well - I am one lol.Just my two cents.I hope this helps.Leon 

No offense to my attorney friends on here!

Dion,Not sure if I am invited to post here since you don't like rehabbers (I'm joking of course, no offense taken) but will anyways.What attracts me to this class is the passiveness after purchase and the yields that can be obtained without labor, no matter what I am doing or where ever I am.My expectations are to get 13%-20% (or more when possible) returns on capital and thus far, have only tackled the performing note biz.My target capital numbers can vary depending on the location and asset class securing the paper but typically, $15k on the low end to $100k on the higher end with abilities to go higher.

It has nothing to do with criminal or wrongful intent.

You don't avoid paying the gain on the sale over the basis.I agree with Steve as to giving advice, you really shouldn't go there at all, especially since it appears you have little tax knowledge, no offense, but there is no exemption.

, congratulate those who are sharing their recent successes (always best to learn from other people's successes, instead of others failures) and if you can do that while adding just a touch of non-offensive humor (ie, when talking about "the 2% rule" or other "rule", Rule number 1 is always "Do NOT talk about fight club.") people will respect you and look forward to your posts.Don't forget....Rule number 1 is we do not talk about fight club!

Do your background check, criminal check and whatever else you do.I think the only thing you need to add is a "co-signer" check.
