Hey guys,I came across a house  in Los Angeles that looks like no body lives there.

@Dawn Young Is the extra body in the property causing problems?  

I had no idea there was actually a certification body for this type of work.

Agents are held to certain standards and have rules and regulations to follow as well as a "governing" body.

does any body have any tips?

BTW Craigslist will make you change around the ad's body.  

I believe duplexes must just be performing pretty well and no body wants to get rid of them. 

It is advisable to do your due diligence and ask about such things as how long have they been in business, are alternative assets their sole focus, are they BBB accredited and rated, are they a regulated financial institution, have they ever been sanctioned by any regulatory bodies, how many accounts and how much in assets do they administer?

I haven't dealt with probates very much, but with the one i have, the only person appointed by the will or the court which is call executor or executrix has the ability to sign for every body..

Just like you are doing with the flips, except you are re-accessing those funds by refi...instead of flips.Kind of like you have built 3 assembly lines spitting out engines, bodies and interiors.
