I am doing this completely remotely, which has been a massive pain/lesson learned (topic for another day).I signed a very high-level agreement (i.e. expectations simply say "drywall and paint") with him for drywall and paint work at my home for a total of $10KI have paid $5K as a down payment as well as ~$2K in materials over time, as neededThere have been multiple break-in's in the home, and he has done me favors of working with the police, and boarding things up.

Usually If there is one row home up and the rest are knocked over and there is no sign of improvement, then I wouldn't bank on it or recommend it. 

What I would ask for is an estoppel form signed by the seller and tenant stating the status of things.

You put a "for rent" sign in the window with a phone number.

What happens if you sign a lease and they never pay your required "deposits"?

.: I signed up and loved it!

I've had success in the past from apartments.com, zillow, and posting yard signs.

Another one site unseen, just signed power of attorney over for the closing at a notary off of Baker St!

Since the borrower had already signed on for $3 million, this was not an increase to make a deal happen, simply Peerstreet personal operating without any understanding of the loan industry and having no intent to listen to the consultant they hired and paid for.Anyway, Peerstreet made the $4.8 million loan, less than one year later it was in default.  

The PoA designates our company as AIF.Now, it's possible that back during the original closing we had the borrower sign TWO PoAs: One designating our company, the other designating an individual representing the company.Our original PoA was prepared in consultation with an attorney, but that was done well over a decade ago!
