Depending on time of month of closing, the old owner might get rent payments still sent to them until system is updated.

Here are the numbers from the P&L sheet that he sent me.

Then the day or so before the closing their title company called me up (which I should have know was suspicious for them to call me because they do everything via email and portal submission) saying the email with the final documents is too big a file to send to you so just sign the signature pages I'm going to send to you and send them back to me via mail and it will be just as good because we sent you the same docs to review earlier.

He calmly drove back to his company office 25 miles away .Meanwhile I had sent him an email the night before, asking if he even had one call or inquiry yet from a tenant prospect??

 @Chris Soignier,Sent you a PM.

The remainder, if you can't locate the tenant and/or it wasn't specifically awarded to you, is usually sent to the state, who puts it in an "unclaimed funds" pool with the person's name. 

@Marc Biviano I have sent you an IM with my info - Hope to hear from you soon.

Two, maybe three possibilities:1) you sent $1500 to one of these scam/joker broker "lenders".  

I'm sure you've squared away your 1099-MISC forms already and sent them out to whomever needs to receive them, but in case you like to wait to the last minute, be aware that for 2016 they may need to be filed as soon as Jan 31.  

I just sent my 3rd round of direct mail postcards and got a call from someone who has land, perhaps several parcels (he was a bit vague).
