No offense taken.

I don't see why police would even take a report since this isn't a criminal case.

Criminals always have low credit scores. 

Never done it in Philadelphia, but there is a process to file a private criminal complaint against another person.

Obviously, I don't think this will occur in the near future in Columbus, but the point is: if your plan hinges on future rent growth and/or future appreciation, you're speculating.As has been mentioned on many BP podcasts, cashflow is similar to your "defense", in that it helps protect you from losing the property if property values crash, and appreciation is similar to your "offense", in that it's where real wealth can (potentially) be built.

If this is the case it is CRIMINAL!!!!

There are actually several appellate decisions holding that if a contract is assigned you have to pay two sets of transfer taxes - one as if the property was sold to the wholesaler and another from the wholesaler to the end buyer - even if it only involves a single closing.Also, PA has been following suit with several other states in bringing criminal prosecutions against wholesalers for acting as an unlicensed real estate broker.The work around to this is to sign an option, not a sales agreement, with the seller.

Mark,No offense, and i hope you have continued good fortune with your rental properties, but I see you sell memphis properties and work for one of the larger "turnkey" outfits.

What is their criminal / misdemeanor  background?  

Combine that with the rest of the picture: employment verification, rental references, criminal/background check (look for active judgements from creditors).
