Here are a few for the list that come to mind:-Failure to check that Broker’s representation of nature and condition of collateral is correct;-Failure to catch that Borrower is substantially overpaying for property;-Failure to verify that Borrower statement of business purpose of loan is inaccurate (loan in reality is for personal, household or family purposes) making loan subject to consumer protection laws and disclosure;-Failure to verify that insurance is sufficient and the type of policy that covers lender as insured for loss; or policy lapses after funding and servicer does not catch it;-Failure to verify that broker or arranger is properly licensed such that lender exemption from usury is invalidated;-Failure to monitor and require borrower to keep property taxes current;-Title company e-mail gets “hacked” and you wire funds based on fraudulent e-mail-Not understanding the limitations on your options and problems that come up with "fractional" (multi-lender) loans when they go into default-And here is one for the books that actually happened:: arranger comes into possession of notary stamp and commits identity theft by convincing lender, brokers, escrow and title that she is the person who’s identity has been stolen.

Don't lift them 6 feet in the air and put chrome monster truck wheels on them, and even the top trim level ones blend in pretty well.But my "uniform" when I'm at home is cargo shorts, an old t-shirt, flip flops and a dingy ball cap.When I'm doing business, i.e. looking at properties, attending inspections, etc, I arrive in the F-150 wearing khaki work pants, a collared shirt, and boots.

They are easily found, they have websites, lettered company vehicles, employees with company shirts, know how to use computers and email, have phones that they answer in the company name, not "Yez, diz is Hose A", they have reviews online. 

You could if local to the property go take pictures with a date and time stamp of the improvements.

I am a truck driver and Custom T-Shirt Printer.

Next time, I'll just copy and past and save $44 - I'll just be out a stamp and an envelope. 

Many really smart investors and homeowners lost their shirts between 2007 - 2011, especially.
