I got caught and lost my money and more and more people are also reporting similar circumstances. 

There was a news reporter at the sale and they interviewed the high bidder, who admitted that they had not seen the property, but were certain that they would be building their family home there. 

While your lease may indicate that the tenant pays, the biggest problem with this is that tenants will stop reporting issues for fear of paying.

You can even look for police reports in that neighborhood.

The interface is user-friendly, and the reporting tools are especially helpful for tracking property performance.One downside is that it can be a bit pricey for smaller portfolios, but the features have been worth it for me.

Contract negotiation/formulation, title company coordination, pulling comparable sales reports from their local Multiple Listing Service, rent estimation (if a rental property), neighborhood information (more important for out of state investors), and an honest/informed second opinion.

The property was purchased in 2021 for 1.1 million, was appraised in the summer of 2024 for 2.2 million, and reports from online appraisal websites say it could currently be around 3 million.

I was able to get a copy of the appraisal report and the comps that were used were mulit-familys (tri-plex).

And i found launch control but the minimum is $500 a month, but they use cross-referencing data across sources to find the most accurate contact information by using a person's name and address to find their phone number, real address and email by accessing public databases, phone number directories, credit reports, utility bils, public tax records, and social media profiles. this is waaay expensive for me as a beginner. what do you suggest or if anyone has any suggestion I'd greatly appreciate it.??

Quote from @John Clark: Quote from @Chris Seveney: @Jay Hinrichs I believe Biden said the federal govt is going to pick up the bill for all the cleanup.from a lot of reports I read, most of the private insurance companies got out last year and state insurance is where many were insured.
