So in the future if I use another property management company, do you suggest that I insist that my name be on the trust account or would it be better if I have my own trust account set up so that all monies coming in and out come directly to me?  

For some reason the tags didn't come out on my phone, probably because my company still insists on using blackberrys... 

You will likely see the full payment but make sure you insist on a late payment as it is now past due.  

Two immediate hazards were identified that were so severe, I had my guy fix one (cut off the gas to a furnace, with PM permission) and we insisted the owner call the electric company on the other.

Lastly, I had planned to buy under my LLC….However, the foreign national program insists that the property must be bought in my personal name….However, it was pointed out to me that after the deal closes the title could be transferred to my LLC with no problems…Can anyhow comment on this?

But they keep on insisting that I need to hire a private inspector because they won't inspect it.

I believe I was told to use my own escrow/title company or the sellers but how can I be sure that they will really put the money in escrow if they insist on using their own?

I have no motivation in saying that as others may insist new investors start there.Not only do you need to know the market, you need to know labor and material costs, understand time frames and holding costs, contractor issues, construction lending/financing, lien waivers, unique insurance policies, marketing prior to work being completed and retailing or wholesaling techniques.Seems like @J.

But if you insist check the sticky at the top of the page http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/93/topics/54108-buyer-s-list-how-to- Hope that helps

So, you're pretty much stuck with people showing up and having a look around.You might be able to insist on 24 hours notice to show the house.
