I try to make time to meet one new person a month for a drink. 

@Kyle M.  as

As far as you know it's small because that is what your tenant is telling you….but is this person a refrigerator repair person? 

or a Personal Reference person (as noted on his rental application) or an Employer (also noted on his rental application) or anyone else who may be able to relay a message to him?

Judging from your persona, my last response will probably come under more argumentative scrutiny, so perhaps this will help your massive ego:You are the best wholesaler in the country.You know Everything about motivated sellers.There is no other way to do anything, all of your statements are 100% accurate and everyone else is wrong including me.

Kevin M., as you wish. http://www.biggerpockets.com/conference/Serious.

It depends on each person as it does with both dogs and cats.

Are you a “If it weren't for bad credit you wouldn't have any credit at all type of person�

One way is to look at the street address of the court record and the address history of the person as shown in the credit report.When I check criminal records on tenants and contractors, I use name and known addresses; for tenants I tell them that a match of name and date of birth on a criminal record is considered a match (I am not going to go crazy trying to determine if two or more people with the same name and date of birth exist).

To me, that name had a nice vibe, and created a separate entity from me as a person - as there are always a few people involved in getting a deal done.
