If your going to war, you will want a good leader with combat experience taking command.

This has been a fraudulent strategy that took advantage of the recent real estate bubble.

Yes too much fraud out there.Kennedy funding is another group I heard of the closes very few deals to show they do actually close deals but make money off of the loan app.I have about seen every scam.REAL LENDERS understand the fraud that is out there and will won't ask for a bunch of fees like that upfront.If I was the lender I would consider reviewing apps the cost of doing business.The investors are so desperate to get these sweetheart loans that don't exist.Really ask your self if this is just a really good loan program you found or pie in the sky.As I have said before do not let a lender hold any money or their escrow company.Many are fraudulent overseas accounts or shell corps to make it hard to track where the money went.Have your local attorney hold funds and not dispurse until closing and funds from lender have been verified.Usually scammers will not want to jump through those hoops and will just say they can't fund the loan and to seek another lender.

My question is if anyone has anything that they do to their rentals in order to combat the idea of the tenants getting out of the shower soaking wet?

So, if they fraudulently billed you for say, $10k you might be able to seek $30k in compensatory damages.

Hey Jeff - I was interested in why you say 'most of these companies end up going the way of Mason-Hill' which was clearly a fraudulent company not doing any business.

Just like all the "fraudulent foreclosures" that were being challenged (after the fact), the robo signing, improper notices etc.

@Alex KovalenkoI’m new here but from the outside looking in he seems untrustworthy or at the least too combative to be YOUR tenant

Just as a sample, here are some Wells Fargo recent actions (even After all of the lawsuits and disciplinary actions)* https://www.complaintsdepartme...These are real people with real problems from the Really Bad Wells Fargo - "I have fraudulent charges that are on my Wells Fargo Visa card.

I'd bet dollars to bagels that you've got a couple toilets that need attention and your tenants haven't reported it.How do you combat this?
