I understand that we can still get criminal, eviction and courthouse checks.

Not to mention, that it's probably a criminal action depending on state law, too.No, there are other- legal ways to fix and boost your credit scores.

I use them to run credit and criminal check.

I have never seen or heard of anyone being prosecuted for this.

With low income rentals like yours, it is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY to do a criminal background check.Good Luck,Mike

Investing is not their job and the likelihood of someone like this being prosecuted for referring properties to someone would be very unlikely.I have seen some discussion about the legalities of someone offering a referral fee for deals, and I would say technically it would violate the RE laws if you pay that fee to an unlicensed person.

The people who make money on the shuffle are the criminals.

Bill,Could these violations on wide scale lead to criminal indictments?

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.
