You might think your better because you make more money than other people but there’s plenty of criminals and con artist in your class of people.

I did 4 fundings in Janesville last year and my guy got through the first one on time and for profit we expected then he up and passed away from a Diabetic coma.. leaving me with 3 that I had to work out of .. two I sold right away for what I had in them one we made a small profit It happens.I do background checks  dont really care to much about credit but I dont want any criminals and then If they are married I want to meet the wife and take them to the nicest dinner in town.
