Notaries are meant to protect from fraud such as this situation by verifying the person's identity and having the person appear before us in person.

This is almost identical to my approach.

This is for two identical, side-by-side 4-units (8-units total) in far-south Chicagoland that I purchased in 2017. 

Texas has almost identical rules to California foreclosure consultant rules. it's a class C misdemeanor for violations.

As a side note, with the purchase of this property, there is the option to buy the other two duplexes on the property in 1-2 years time which are of identical design and footprint with the same amount of monthly income.Thanks,Nick

Person 2 would have about a 725, person 1 would have about a 680 (assuming everything else is identical on their two credit reports).If person 3 had 5 credit cards, each 2+ years old, and had that $5k spread across them with 5 credit cards each individually at 20% of their limits, they would have a better FICO score than persons 2 or 1. 800+ range.FICO score treats their algorithms as a trade secret that I'm not privy to, the above is just based on me looking at a LOT of credit reports...

The rent on identical properties can vary hugely based simply because of their location, for example a $100,000 house might be leased for $500 a month in one town but $1,500 in another.

This deal happens to be a 6-plex: two identical triplexes sold together for $235-250k.

I'm highly vigilant trying to prevent identity theft, this is one of the spokes in that wheel.Tyler Mullen, CFE

I may ask my current neighbor if hes willing to sell, has an identical unit as mine and its kind of run down.
