I'm in Florida where you can evict people relatively quickly (3-4 weeks) and I take people with bad credit all the time, just no evictions or criminal history.

It should be not just unlawful, but actually criminal.

I require adequate income proven by paystubs, plus I check the sex offender registry and run a criminal background check. 

I could probably slick any bank out of a large chunk of change if I were a criminal type, of course I would not, but there are many who, if armed with greater knowledge would attempt to tweek an application or verifications or collateral to get past some issue they may have......too bad, but there are.There are audit aspects that I do not and won't discuss, there is no need to know by investors, borrowers or private lenders.

ON top of the obvious. there is the social criminal aspect and all the money we spend trying to protect the citizens of these areas..

Now they do look at countries with no tax returns, money laundering, and criminal activity as red flags and they avoid those.So you have some options.

Issues of fraud and deceptive trade practices certainly apply to commercial transactions, crossing lines can lead to other criminal charges, wire fraud is a popular charge applied as funds are usually transferred, if the mail was used in connection with the activity, mail fraud charges may be brought.When people don't have business experience or really understand underlying financial matters and try to be creative because, for one reason or another they can't perform under usual and customary practices they expose themselves greatly to scrutiny, it only takes a complaint to the right person to uncover mistakes.

If you can build a little friendship with some of the inspectors, it won't get you out of some major offense, but it can't hurt.Plus, the Packers already won the Soldier Field game (which for people around the country, is ironically considerably CLOSER to Milwaukee than Lambeau Field is, but the team that plays there has sucked horribly for decades!

Breaking lease other than by being late with rent usually results in “violation of lease” notice followed by eviction 2d or 3rd offense depending what offense is. 

He told me how he had 30 properties and that's way more I'll ever own because "I'm a low life criminal looking for houses to steal."
