So far, I have not seen any in the checks I've done, but I would think that if you pay for a background check that includes evictions, criminal records, etc, you should be good.

In our market its cash on the barrel head and payment is a cashiers check so once you hand it over its done .. no chance to reverse anything.In Indiana were I have attended a few auctions.. they make a point of it to say its a violation of the law ( criminal ) to bid on a property and not follow through.. but I don't know there.Before you go blowing a bunch of dough on an attorney and just making this work.Simply go to the Sherrifs office and meet with someone of authority and ask what your options are.it could be a simple.. well you lose your deposit but your not on the hook for the rest.you could stop payment on check..

I was a Tax Examiner at the IRS and Also worked in their Criminal Investigation Division. 

By doing this it really weeds out the people that aren't serious and it gives me instant visibility into credit, criminal, and eviction check nationwide. 

I want to make sure that these new "occupants" are not criminals and was thinking about doing the following, please let me know your thoughts/suggestions:1.

He basically just told that Washington state not only made it illegal but criminalized flipping and wholesaling properties and that you needs to be a licensed broker to wholesale houses.

You combine that feel with hard credit & criminal evidence, work ethic, and you will usually make good choices. 

You will also want to pull credit and background check (although you can't "blanket discriminate" against someone with a criminal history).(3) This is a very smart question to ask ... and yes, you want to change it over to a summer turnover.

I do have neighbor complaints and the police have been there although no criminal charges.This is a relative to make matters worse.

I also have a terrible roofer, and an HVAC guy who borders on criminally negligent.
