Lots of red flags including rent rolls etc. but I'm still working on it. 

I am thinking once it hits the bad guys account they have within 30 seconds moved it off shore.this all started when title companies would not take personal checks.. because lenders and such could not get there docs there until last second.. so no time to clear a check.So then the title co  required cashiers checks.. well that went along for a while until the bad guys figured out how to forge cashiers checks.. it was really bad in Florida for instance.So then it went to wires were we are today.. and now with everyone relying on E mail. and the ability of hackers.. once the bad guys realized how much money flowed and how many to most of the folks doing this were newer it was like katy bar the door.our process since we wire every day.. is two fold request from closer and at this point we might be on deal 30 with the closer and have their coordinates.. any e mail that changes their wire.. the big one is Hey we just moved banks here is our new wire info.. that is HUGE red flag and we go into telephonic mode.. most of the closers I use I have used for many years so I know there voices.. 

These two together seem like a red flag, or is this a typical appropriate attitude for a seller to take? 

But there are also ample reasons why wealth individuals park their money in real estate as it is an attractive asset class.Part of the reason for America’s success is that entrepreneurs have gone out, taken bold risks and have been compensated.

I'm urging them to slow this process down and do their research first because their are several red flags.

Nothing huge, but it's a start:Sending out 200 5 x 7 blue pastel envelopes with yellow letters, some handwritten in pencil and some using font that looks handwritten in red ink.

But ultimately, I believe it is the property managers fault; perhaps they were rude with the exchange in ideas over the phone with the HOA which has prompted what I can consider an outrageous and unprofessional reaction from the representative.I think you may need to refer to the bylaws and see what language is used to clarify level of communication in regards to use of property managers as I feel it is bold that they "will not work with Touchpoint Property Management."

If they didn't, this is a red flag.

Just wanted to say Hi to all.I keep hearing about the opportunity to use private lenders vs hard money lenders for the purpose of fix and flips but it all seems to be hoops, red tape and flub (from other sites)...

That would be an another red flag.As many realtors on BP have stated, too many folks run towards a lower rate, not realizing that a lower rate is not the end all, be all of getting a loan to closing.
