During the phone screen after I find out the standard questions I'll say "I'm very good and do a very thorough reference check as well as credit and criminal checks so is there anything you need to tell me about?"

Just recently, we had a tenant where a criminal record was missed.

(no offense to you Mr.

She went on to say that they are on it.. but its complaint driven.. so they get a complaint they will follow up and if its shown that someone is just trying to market a property they don't own regardless of the excuse I am just assigning a contract or what have you they will get popped.. first offense is cease and desist letter and small fine.. big player that gets caught that will get more serious and moves into a felony type thing.. but that's someone who just says screw it I am doing it anyway after already being caught.so basically in our little state you have to close on the house take title own or have an ownership interest clearly denoted in the vesting entity then you can sell your own property without being licensed so you must get on title FIRST before you market anything short of that is not legal.Its pretty much that way in all states if you read the statute's  just really depends on who wants to enforce.. to my knowledge  Ohio  FLA  CA  OR  NV are the most strict but there could be others.

(No offense, just making a point)What kind of capital are you pitching into this deal or are you just bringing it to me?

Also, no offense, but from the sounds of the amount of equity you have, it might not be that big of a loan to get a bank excited.

Fails to tell the homeowner that they are actively marketing the property for market value and that the investor or real estate broker plans to assign their rights in their contract with the homeowner to another investor/buyer.Fails to tell the homeowner that they intend to make a profit by accomplishing an assignment of the contract.Fails to tell the homeowner when the contract is assigned to a different investor/buyer.Investigated Case ExampleBelow is an example of a case that we investigated where the broker involved in the deal was referred criminally and her real estate license was revoked.The victim had the misfortune of being on her front porch when an “investor” and his real estate partner approached her and told her they used to live in the neighborhood and wanted to move back.They figured out her weaknesses and used them against her.After “working” on her for a few days, the investor and real estate agent had a meeting with her that lasted hours.
