The list included how they made their first million, and it read like a broken record.

I would start with county records.

He handles 100% of acquisition..He talk to the client, he meets the client, he get contract signed and takes seller through the enitire closing process...I have never met a customer and never intend to...It works well..We have an open end about everything, every call get recorded, he only allowed to call clients from an app everytime he speaks to them so everyone can hear whats going on...We have an emal system where we keep track of every lead, the status etc....It very important to be open, especially if both of you know wholesaling very well.

When you go for financing you & your partner(s) will have to meet the underwriting requirements & most likely provide personal guarantees.Regarding asset protection- If your lender won't let you close in an LLC, check if they will allow you to close & have the property recorded in a Land Trust w/ you & your partner as the beneficiary.  

Most of the tenants have been in the place for at least 2-3 years, but a couple are much more recent, so have less track record with the selling landlord.

I'm going through the county records and I keep seeing tax liens held by a third party (LLCs, individuals, etc.).  

So in your example, if ABC forecloses (judicial or non-judicial) on a deed of trust (or mortgage) recorded on 1/1/1999, the bidder (and subsequently the purchaser) at the foreclosure auction would not be financially responsible for the second and third liens (by mortgage or deed of trust.) 

A permit could say a lot of things, check with building permit, I don't think they keep records that long. lol.

The value add could be a mismanaged property, a property plagued by vacancy (marketing deficiency) a property that can be broken down into smaller units hence growing NOI, etc.A move in this direction would serve multiple purposes:a) Buy a deal you could generate greater NOI than a similar 'straight' leased investment.b) Allow you to gain some experience managing and marketing CRE space.c) Provide you with a track record in commercial which conventional CRE lenders look towards when loaning on CRE.

I did record my contract with the county register of deeds, so they will find out when they do their title search I assume.I very sure she did convince him to backout as she knew all the details of our contract.
