I found this out after several victims skipped traced me and called me at my real phone number.A search of the scammer’s phone number indicated it was used on other fake websites to falsely represent other legit lenders, as well.

I would be happy to jump on the phone with you and run through your expectations and see if we can build a relationship and get this next project of yours knocked out.

.- Collect Tax Certificate to verify Property Taxes are Paid- Get a current statement from the seller to verify the existing balance, if they are delinquent, you can get the bank on the phone to verify the amount to make the loan current.- Review the loan documents, there is most likely a due on sale clause, which is why you won't find a title company to process these for you.

I do not set up TV, internet, or phone for tenants. 

Any tips on what to screen for specifically?

You don't have to spend money  out of the pocket on searching Redfin, making some phone calls, making offers and posting ads on Craiglist or whatever local media you want to use to sell the property.

Do you think using lexisnexis would work for skiptracing to find a person's phone number?

If I have specific questions about a transaction I’m doing or something like that, I just ask via email or phone call.

If you understand how to screen very well, communicate with them respectfully and can somehow understand the dynamics of the community, you will be ok.

For my screening criteria - income from all financially responsible applicants is combined and compared to rent.
