But these are also excellent opportunities for bad actors to collect money from a buyer and then fail to deliver when the contract is fulfilled. 

Rule number 1 of landlording is that you can't control if or when the tenants pay, rule number two is that you can't control if and when they leave.Tenants are not known to be the most proactive bunch, either, so this may not be malicious. 

If the attorney is procrastinating with no underlying malicious intent, that will definitely prod some action. 

This is not a malicious eviction, the people did not pay rent since 2012!

She was not malicious just crazy so we were able to get her out peacefully, just money loss. 

Now, basically the same radio ad is running but it is with Dean Cain (the actor).

Also, the housing authority is liable for their tenants in the event of damages, threats, malicious intent, etc.  

There are already statutes and regulations regarding fraud and deception in real estate transactions.Educating people who want to be educated is fine, but if a governing body restricts the pool of ready and willing buyers, more properties will go to foreclosure and sit on the market longer.Real estate investors perform a vital function in every jurisdiction: putting properties back on the market, in good condition.Many of the properties they buy could never pass conventional lender's inspection because they typically require tens of thousands of dollars in repairs that most homeowners do not have or cannot do themselves.Additionally, many real estate investors near metropolitan centers can access almost an unlimited pool of funding to buy and remodel properties if the numbers work.From contract to close, the time can be in as little as 3-4 business days.The delay is mostly waiting on title companies.So when flippers mail letters and post cards to owners saying they can "close quick" and "all cash", that is a fact, not fraud.Of course, realtors will recommend you list your property – that's how they make money – so they are self-interested, which makes the report biased.Maybe next time you can have a "flipper" on you show for balanced reporting.The idea of anyone feeling "pressured" by getting a post card or flyer is ludicrous.If the homeowner doesn't want to sell, the solution is to throw them away.But the idea of "there ought to be a law" is equally ludicrous.If there are bad actors committing fraud, the answer is to enforce the laws already on the books.Out of all the properties posted for sale every 1st Tuesday of the month at the trustee's sale, a very large percentage never make it because they are bought by the very flippers you disparaged.If not for the real estate investing community, cities around the country would look much, much worse.My biggest complaint with your report is that you completely failed to get the rest of the story.Your editor needs address this."

He and I have been trying to figure out how he can either catch them in the act or what the next step would be.

You can put whatever limitations you want on the guest that comply with your local laws, but I wouldn't see any major issues, if the tenant thought he was a bad actor they 1. wouldn't want him in their house. and 2. wouldn't have asked you expecting that you would say no.
