If the people there are okay with hanging out with police officers, likely they are not going to be criminals

Make sure you conduct a credit check, criminal background check, and employment verification.

Keep the eviction process going and advise them that your attorney will charge them civilly, and potential criminally for writing a fraudulent check is a major crime.

I suspect that many of the poor and criminally poor may consider themselves somewhat insignificant in the big picture as they do not realize that each decision they make is like a pebble thrown in the water, causing ripple effects that take a while to reach the shore.

That accusation is FAR outside normal landlording risks and is a CRIMINAL accusation.

Ocwen are the worst bunch of Thugs and Criminals!!

But, I'm contemplating starting a ballot initiative to rename Sacramento to "Home For The Criminally Insane".

both got reported to the DA.. no criminal charges were ever filed but it made it to the papers..

Assign vendors, track costs and estimates, manage invoice numbers, assign status and priority, run credit checks, state or federal criminal background reports, link any task or appointment to tenants or units, and get reminders about important events or todo items.

Jason lots of fraud and criminals out there trying to make a quick buck.You could be sucked in and chosen "guilty by association" in the deal.We have a saying in the business.This deal has "too much hair on it" and you need to walk away.Many of these techniques with short sales squeaked by 3 or 4 years ago before bank guidelines were in place.Now with systems you cannot get away with anything if you wanted to.Before there were shades of grey that were closed out.I would see buyers write up a bill of sale and pay the seller 4,000 for JUNK for personal property.At the time certain things didn't have to be disclosed.Short sales made up only about 1 percent of loans when the market just started turning.So anyone looking at short sale techniques make sure they work TODAY and not from years ago.You will pay dearly for using old techniques that can get you in trouble that are not allowed today.You have to adapt and structure deals to stay in compliance with the ever changing laws.
