We are not even talking about major issues here.

I hired a PM to find a tenant for one of my properties which has become vacant.Their agency has a lot of good online reviews and when I interviewed them, I was impressed with their professionalism.He has just now emailed me saying he has a client wanting to buy my property for 150k.I was a bit baffled because last I checked it was worth around 450k.

You can find this online, or at the town hall

@Roy WhiteHere in North Carolina attorneys do contracts because we don't use title companies.Rental companies will also have rental contracts.If you get one online or from a friend, for example, just be sure everything in it is legal in your state.Good luck!

There are other options that require less financial documentation, a majority of the investment property loan don't require any financial information from the borrower other than bank statements.

Keep in mind that on days like today there are also stocks that are gaining 20%, 30%, 40% in value, every Index that listed major losses also had major gainers. 

An example is collecting data on online users and than trying to come up with a way to sell them stuff through ads.
