They use google voice, the use fake or texting apps to shield their phone numbers etc.My question is has anyone else come across this and have you put any safe guards in place to protect property or potential resident from the scam?

I am assuming that all the other terms and conditions are the same on both quotes but I would confirm that the deductibles, Coinsurance/Agreed Value clause, protective safeguard language, etc. are all the same.

@Lien Vuong this particular deal that I am looking at comes with long term renters.I definitely should have safeguards in place around inspections since inspections have been stalled at this point in time.

“Residential renters need to have added safeguards during times of emergency like this – they have rights and we will see to it that they are protected.”So, it takes on average AT LEAST TWO MONTHS to run a straightforward eviction for non-payment of rent in CT, and a savvy tenant, or one who is getting coached by Legal Aid, can often draw it out for several months more. 

Read CAA's letter opposing AB 828 here.This bill denies equal justice to housing providers by:Forcing landlords to reduce rents by 25% even if a tenant cannot demonstrate a hardship or need.Allowing judges and the court system to set rents and change the rental agreements already in place.Assuming every tenant is facing a hardship related to COVID-19 and must be compensated for this hardship.Protecting nuisance tenants as it does not require tenants to answer an unlawful detainer complaintMandating that rental property owners demonstrate an economic hardship to collect the contracted rent.AB 828 is an unfair attempt to allow the government and the courts to give reduced rent to all tenants even if they have face no economic hardship, and it provides safeguards for landlords.Contact your state legislator and ask him or her to VOTE NO on AB 828.

What safeguards did you put into place?

There is no government oversight in our industry and because of that there have been instances where QIs have not safeguarded their client's funds appropriately and/or they don't have the expertise and experience to adequately assist a client engaging in a 1031.

Equities are controlled and it's sad because there are no good easy investment tools to safeguard retirements.

If the bank approves your loan, that generally means they have confidence in your plan, and since they are on the hook for 75-80% of your loan that's a pretty high mark of confidence.This isn't to say you don't need a plan or that the bank is omniscient; it just means that there are a bunch of safeguards in place that help keep you from driving off the cliff.
