., at a number you look up, for wire instructions.....scammers hacking emails and sending wire instructions from almost identical email addresses, giving instructions to wire to a bogus account are becoming rampant.

Hey Christian,I went through the identical situation on my first purchase back in april, tenants were on a mtm lease so after i closed on the property i just had to give them a notice that their lease would not be renewed at the end of the month and that i would also give them an additional 30 days to vacate after the final month was up. 

Fully rehabbed the ARV is around $175 up to potentially 195k if rehabbed well enough to comp with newer builds, but in the condition I assume it is in, the CMA comes out closer to $150k with some nearly identical dated comps sold nearby in the last six months right around that price. 

The the other joker in that deck would be that if those duplexes are substantially identical and there is a sale to you at an obvious discount rate the IRS will be looking for a reason to find cost basis shifting.

I was using Credit Bureau Associates who have recently moved/consolidated with TenantAlert.Have the option of running, criminal background and identity fraud checks.Have the option of  paying for it myself or applicant to pay.I get the credit score, account types open, closed, payment history, status of accounts, balances, etc. 

I have seen everything from medical bills, loss of a spouse, divorce, loss of jobs to identity theft cause someone to have to file.

Update:A friend of mine is consulting on a nearly identical project currently. 

My property is one of 15 identical duplexs on the same street.

So I am in an almost Identical situation except I do have an agent that is sort of a mediator between the seller and I.

The only reason I bothered was because I knew it was a high appreciation market, and I knew it would be short term. edit - I actually realized this post seemed familiar, I already answered your other identical thread. apologies
