They offer statewide eviction, nationwide criminal bankruptcies, liens and judgements, U.S. sex offender, FBI/US Marshals lists, terrorist search/OFAC for all renters with or without a social.

I do not accept anyone with a claim or judgement from a previous landlord so no real need to even discuss the ESA and possibly get yourself into hot water.  

If the investment has professional administration, you will have access to the answers to those questions, but also much deeper vetting of the sponsor that will include personal background checks covering things like bankruptcy, judgements, litigation, criminal history, and other red flags related to a sponsor that you would want to avoid, plus other items that investors rarely consider like ensuring that the properties are actually titled correctly.

I never thought about about mega code violation judgements!

But if you receive a judgement, it does not guarantee any ability to collect.

Then they would sue you and any unpaid judgement becomes a lien.

Now, with that said, you should protect yourself by filing a law suit against the person of interest and have a judgement from the court to back your statements, before posting names, numbers and personal info on line.Even if the person has done such a dastardly job and ripped you off, he/she must be found guilty in either small claims court ($14-$29) filing fee depending what county in WA State, Civil/Superior ($20-$400) filing fee depends what county in WA.

He also indicated that if I got a civil judgement he would just file bankruptcy.

Probably nothing on his credit since its not a judgement yet.
