Hi all,I'm considering a fourplex in a secondary market, and while researching the property on the county website, I found an assignment of leases and rents to the bank.

very mixed reviews. i understand their position but its not industry norm.. what i have heard others say is that their criteria becomes so hard for 100% financing they can never find a deal that works.. and they just lose the 3k.. or should i say they bought 3k info package.. and what others say is you get the hard sell on pay ing the 3k up front when the owner off the company comes on here and says NO you dont need to pay it.. but thats not what others say in posts on this website.

Glad you joined the best real estate investing website! 

Get a website.

I've checked out some online reviews and the company's own website since posting this question, and got the same vibe as well.

On real estate websites, the “About Us” page is the third most-viewed page. 

I've been mainly going on the popular listing websites like trulia, zillow, realtor.com etc.

Using tools such as Motivator, AirDNA and Eliot and Me
These websites are very helpful, but they don’t make it very clear how they calculate their figures.

I did a quick scan, both those websites don't mention unit count.

Next, set up a FEIN, which you can get from the www.irs.gov website in a matter of a few minutes.
