Contact DA, maybe some sort of criminal charges can be filed for fraud?

Sort of depends on how you feel about looking over your shoulder, civil/criminal fines and possible jail time.

Criminal activity has a way of rubbing off.

Seems like an inside kinda trading situation and a bit criminal!

No criminal background.

See http://massrealestatenews.com/short-sale-lawsuits-will-realtors-be-next/I believe Realtors that have poor training in Short Sales that misrepresent their knowledge and experience should be criminally prosecuted.What do BPers think?

Not jut about rents, but about tenant pool, property tax trends, HOAs, criminal activity.

And it is a civil matter, not criminal, where burden of proof is a bit lower.

Even the folks who you might want to rent were either not financially qualified, credit scores below 550, or had criminal records.So far, I have not found Waterbury to be viable for investing in real estate, for short term projects.I swore not to buy another one in Waterbury, however, one of the contractors I hired, has asked me to partner with him on some multi-family homes, but I am not convinced.
