Maybe that will be revealed on later paperwork.

If the brother’s credit check (or one of the other applicants) reveals an eviction or another red flag then I would decline all of the applicants because if u just deny one person they will likely sneak in the rejected potential tenant.

Also researching some of the gurus revealed unfavorable reviews and several scams which is how I thankfully found BP where an answer to one of my queries showed up.

I'm trying to do exactly what you're advising without revealing the name of the company until I have to - because I have written them for an explanation as you advised. 

Don't lie or conseal anything, but reveal your ownership interest during the interview once they see what you bring to the table.Don't be afraid to take a low paying job if opportunity to grow exists.  

I obviously will do my Due Diligence in looking for Properties and making sure the investment will reveal a profit.  

The guy also revealed that he was having money problems and had just done a stint in jail for having unpaid fines.My thought was either these people are really lousy landlords, or they were desperate for tenants and took the first people who came along.

:mrgreen: Maybe you could fill in your profile a little and tell us more about who you are.It is hard doing business with someone who is not willing to reveal their name, don't you think?

@Alyssandria L.We ended up passing on the home because of a home inspection that revealed not only a considerable amount of deferred maintenance, but also issues with the foundation, electrical that would've required major expenses that no longer made the numbers work for us.
