I keep a spreadsheet with the tenants name for security deposit.I also print a copy of the deposit and attach to my bank statement in case there are any questions about deposits made.

57% RE.I agree with the statement that the market is similar to Vegas, more so today than in the past with all the govt manipulation.I still play in that pool though, been through all the ups and downs, but overall still pretty nice gains there.

I'm supposed to informally email my offer, along with proof of funds, to the listing agent who will then submit the offer electronically to the bank.

\I also ask for 2 months bank statements in some cases.

What if you have a title dispute and they don't answer your calls or emails?

Is that an accurate statement?

Email attachments that you need to sign ,you can do it from there.

Reo Broker just emailed me that his SFR listing in 90043 just fell out of escrow because buyer couldn't secure loan. 4Bed/3bath 1800+ square feet just reduced to $290k.

Your approach is too difficult and it is like trying to play cards in the dark, There are a lot more ways to invest using lease options then spending so much time researching properties that may not work.I would recommend sending emails to sellers and advertising as the are many free ways to advertise for sellers, don't spend a lot of time thinking about the property as there will be plenty of time to do the math after you have a potential seller who is interested in a lease option.
