So we are in the process of getting the lien release voided, and figured I would also reach out the prior servicer, which is still in business, to see the payment history, as my research showed they modified the loan in October, 2010, and they both signed it, so she was back on the hook, and they stopped paying in June of 2012, 19 payments later, so I figured unless she won the lottery, she did not pay it off. 

We service Manatee & Sarasota counties. 

for something that was not a whole lot better then a multy-Family apartment.Came out to Lancaster, CA just for giggles...Well the rest is history...SFH 2045Ft/Sqd of living space from 980FT/Sqd..NO HOA!!!

Instead of replacing the roof I only patched the "really bad" areas and pocked the rest of the money.

I do tell folks they can check with local utility companies that service the properties to find out what previous bills have run.   

I see plenty of future growth in these parts, and am eager to buy an old 2-flat or 3-flat (what the rest of the country calls a 2 or 3-plex).Everywhere I go in this neighborhood I see new condos springing up like concrete weeds, including several gargantuan buildings by the California train stop in an area that's mostly SFRs and small multis.My question is this: Is the influx of new construction a great sign for the rising prospects of the neighborhood or is it just creating competition for older buildings and rents?  

You can also screen applicants (debt-to-income ratios, income verification, background checks, etc.) through tenant-screening services such as TenantVerification.com, ScreentheTenant.com, e-renter.com. 

As far as the FSBO I subscribe to a service called beenverified . com to find current address, emails and phone numbers of people 

I think you are in a good place to do wholesaling because some of the market (oil business) is down right now but the rest is in good shape.  

What @Carlos Flores said.Here is some information, but not much.I can't recall for sure, so take the rest with a grain of salt, for FHA multifamily I seem to remember you need to have someone on the team that has done it before, and I believe a $5 million minimum.
