I have always thought it was kind of pointless to call their current landlord since they are going to give me a stellar review of their rental history if they want to get rid of them.

I don't think the sellers agent does much. maybe take pictures and "review" the contract... the buyers agent is the one that shows the property and the one that draft the contract.

I'll review any feedback and try to improve as a real estate investor.How are you going to get anywhere as an investor if "I do tend to be someone who ask questions and only wants to hear what they want to hear"?

Get 5 reviews as quickly as possible.

He promised to send me properties to review, but never did.  

You can also search Google and read reviews.

My suggestion would be to select someone with the most forum posts or most reviews.

I've heard mixed reviews on it but we don't prefer to deal with Section 8 here, it's an arduous process.

Going through this process to close a similar deal I know this does not fall within most banks box but do you think might be a loan your bank would consider reviewing?

Marcus, the event was great and I truly appreciated your market review and forecast.
