Remember, they can always refer themselves😊Now, make it a goal to call at least 5-10 of these people EVERY day and ask a MAX OF THREE off the list below of who they know that:Just inherited a homeHad a loved one pass awayIs behind on their mortgage or tax paymentsHas a relative that can’t take care of their house anymoreHas a house they’re having trouble sellingIs facing bankruptcyKnows a probate attorneyKnows a bankruptcy attorneyetcWhy only three off the list per contact?

And to a notion of "The Customer Is Always Right" and placating to such, please open a business and do exactly that and let us know how it works at your first bankruptcy.

Compare my plumber to another "hot shot" developer I know who ended up over extending himself and filed bankruptcy, maybe the plumbers are doing better than that fast growing developer...  

Unfortunately it's common practice here regardless of the situation/contractor I've found it mostly not worth the time from clients I've had to help fix similar situations especially when an LLC is involved way easier for them to file bankruptcy as soon as you file you get nothing and end up spending more

Please don't advise bankruptcy, as that should be a last case resort.I had 1 very similar to this before.

We also had one where the person being foreclosed on filed for bankruptcy the day of the auction.  

Have I had foreclosures/bankruptcies?

I’m also finding an uptick in sales. 3-4 a day slated unless bankruptcy is filed.

Of course they are surfing close to the edge of bankruptcy so.... 

When I used to self manage my properties I used MySmartMove and felt it was a very good screening process - it checks all the main things you need to check (criminal history, bankruptcy/foreclosure history, credit, etc).
