@Bill S the lot is 6,870 sqft...I checked the Denver property records for this house and under property type it says "residential triplex" and under zoning district it says "E-SU-DX"Where can I go to confirm that this property has been zoned and approved to be a multi-family property?

@Mindy JensenSo just to confirm, you have your license in Colorado but you are not actually a certified realtor of the National Association of Realtors, correct?

@Danielle HammondIf he states he is certified by Georgia Gov, maybe you can confirm that from their website or maybe give them a call?

If you want to be sure of the accuracy of a flood map and the location of a particular house you might try having a structural engineer look up the location for you they always seem to have access to the most accurate information as they have to design any building to be structurally sound on any location or tell you if its not feasible and just move on to another property. 

They were not sued in those situations.One thing you should confirm is if the contractor you were holding the contract with has work comp coverage.  

Hold their security deposit until they have left and you have confirmed the condition of the apartment.

We scaled back our design plans, and went with a bid for a $55,000 rehab.

Let them know you would like to have a site plan constructed laying out several potential home designs.

But that does not mean you have to accept the data from the screening source blindly; there are some ways you can use to confirm that these are not false matches if you are inclined to do some research:http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/1750...http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/6102...BTW - MA has the records online for this type of searching at no charge to you, for evictions at least. 

The guts/porcelain design are the only real difference, but all will need to be dealt with over time.
