Quote from @Christopher Johnson: @Scott Trench - FALSE - DECEPTIVE POST - It's sad people resort to this online bullying, invasion of privacy, attacking our staff, and clearly attempts to blackmail us for $. 

Contrary to what I read online my lender never questioned the condition of the property.

Husband is interested investing in them, but I cannot find ANYTHING online about them no reviews ANYTHING!!

The photos online won't be of much use to you as the photos where the money spend is at are in the basements, attics, and the exterior of the house, and every corner of those if that helps.

You can also check their reviews online at Google, Facebook, or Yelp.

What documents do they require, what credit scores do they allow, how do they verify previous rental history, etc.?

There are also online platforms that will handle managing security deposit compliance, refunds, etc. like rentable.com

From it I have obtained the name of another competitive insurer to add to my arsenal.I have not used Opie, but after reading the posts here, I went online and obtained a quote for one SFH rental.

And the fact that your post had at least three votes for it when I posted this shows that there are lots of other people who would probably be losing in PA under those same assumptions that just happen to be FALSE in Pennsylvania.Pennsylvania has some rather complicated rules when it comes to tax sales; the particular type of sale that the OP purchased at is one that does not divest any liens; it simply changes the party that is the owner, with the new owner taking title subject to all liens and encumbrances of record.With tax sales, the buyer must be aware of all the local rules under which the tax sale is being conducted, because the rules vary all over the place.Now, what the OP seems to have failed to do in his research was to cross index the recordings at the county recorder; the "missed" mortgage would have showed up on a search by parcel number if that sort of cross check was done (and assuming all indexed documents at the recorder are properly indexed of course - I have seen mistakes made attaching a document to the wrong parcel).

And sure enough, they're not the same thing.Adding an extra layer of getting a document signed outside of Airbnb or VRBO is just going to create headaches.
