The "trust the process" issue comes up much more often for us in the context of a seller who has to go to an embassy / consulate / attorney in a foreign land, get the deed, etc. executed, authenticated and then go one step further to have the capacity of the official who authenticated the doc verified as well. 

If that is true (I've seen a number of blog posts referring to that, but I haven't verified it) then wouldn't it make sense to go FHA, HomePossible, FHA, HomePossible?

The first time I tried contacting them I was on speaker phone with my neighbor in the room and he verified his identity to them and asked them to speak with me.

Hey BP Fam, I'm looking into Akron, OH for a rental property and wanted to verify if anyone has used IIP Property Management for their units?

Verify that the rehab list meets your target budget.5.

Do they verify employment and income as well?

I called Louisville Water Co. and they confirmed the start and end readings were "verified", but I don't know what that means.

For instance, if the house has no furnace and there's a higher FHA offer, then it will not be accepted because they already know the financing will not qualify.Two completely identical offers, one cash and one hard money .. yes cash is superior. 

I did the deal analysis for a hold, which is my advice, and the numbers look good (please verify that for me, BP family). 

It seems like once a month I get a phone call from someone wanting to verify if I'm posting my properties somewhere (even on VRBO), I have had a few prospective tenants that lost their money due to being scammed.
