My niceness would've went out the door once they admitted to the theft of the check.

Before accepting anyone as a guest, make sure to screen them, verify their identity, and communicate clearly.

They'll require that you fill out a bit more information, and even ask for a picture of you holding your driver's license next to your face to confirm your identity.

I have a no B.S policy when I work with contractors, because of the amount of scams / theft there is in the industry.

I am using Texas Secure Title but I use the Ft Worth office and have a personal connection there so mileage may vary, but at least it is somewhere to start.

Can't seem to find anything on the Ft Lauderdale city sites on this, so I may have to call but wondered if anyone had a suggestion. 

The initial returns are lower on paper in better locations (lower cap rate, less initial cashflow according to the magic spreadsheet), but the overall returns in reality are much better including all the different ways people make money in real estate (gained equity through natural and forced appreciation, principle pay-down, increasing rents= higher cash flow when looking at the big picture if you buy and hold, depreciation tax benefits, plus way less of the big profit killers like turnover, non-paying tenants, property damage and theft, dealing with bad contractors because good ones don’t choose to work in bad areas either, etc.). 

I'm surprised by that value and would have thought the actual value is closer to the assessed value of around 1.5x the value of my lot -- the neighboring lot is identical but has a building and businesses on it, and is appraised at just $100k more than what their appraisal shows for the unimproved lot.
