You'll likely end up with a blend of each. 

When I spoke to the Title Company about the unpaid balance of the levy they told me they could not help me out and very rudely dismissed my inquiry (maybe because I discovered that they did not do a good job of uncovering all liens or levies due to previous owner's delinquencies).

Unless a heavy value add deal to blend the cap rate up those loans are ticking time bombs because you could be in  a force sale or refi situation in an inopportune time in the marketplace cycle.

I can’t promise I will use them because my intent is more tailored to uncover the facts around what happened here. 

The best way to find a good deal when starting out is to uncover it yourself.

I chose Maine earlier this year as a blend between cash flow and appreciation.

You can still get a nice blend of cashflow and appreciation potential in the Greater Seattle area market today.

A scoring model can give or take points away, or decline altogether, depending on the information uncovered in background checks.

This higher end CHA tenants want to do nothing more than blend in with the community especially if they are in an area filled with many more market tenants.   

It's a case by case basis based on the tenant and what the lease rate is compared to market along with rent increases for the overall blended return to the landlord.If for example I have a Pizza Hut and is a corporate guarantee then the store could lose 30k a year and I the landlord still get paid like clockwork the rent.
