I don't begrudge him his success but I have a feeling that his real personality is quite different from that kindly persona he likes to project to the media.

@Sheryl Griffin,Just curious as to why you chose a C-Corp instead an S-Corp.As I understand it, income received through a C-Corp. is "doubled taxed": The C-Corp pays taxes on it before it pays you, then you pay taxes again (SUTA, FUTA, FICA and Workmen's Comp.).Also, not sure if a C-Corp needs a human person as at least one owner or if all the stock holders can be business entities ...

If you can't cross reference to make sure the person you are considering is indeed the same person as the person you found on the internet with a bad rap sheet, then it's not justified to use the information against them.

There are at least two answers. 1) Since you know the person a written agreement on a contractual basis may be sufficient. 2) When lending to people you don't know or don't know well you would have a Title Report, a promissory note and a Deed of Trust recorded against the property.

In the 6 situations I can think of right now in which I have rented to a group of people (other than a family or a couple), I have required them to appoint one person as the group representative, and it is that person who takes care of the security deposit, rent payments, and most correspondence.

On the other side, the most recent tenants in the same house were upfront about a student-loan default, but I accepted them anyway and they were awesome for 3.5 years.Have you ever had a prospect be upfront with an eviction history, accepted an application anyway and if everything else checked out clean, offer that person a lease? 

I know FHAs are assumable from person A-B but i keep hearing you cant do A-B then B-C.

Why don't you put a sign up with all the other signs saying "I BUY MORE HOUSES" ha.Seriously, think differently than the crowd, set yourself apart as the go to person as opposed to just another one of those "we buy houses" sign guys.

As a beginner I hope that my blog accelerates my credibility here in the Bay.Josh - For curiosity's sake do you keep a separate online persona/hub outside of BP?
