It's all good until there is a problem and LLC directors and owners are not shielded from criminal activity.

Has anyone had to deal with receiving a "Notice of Forfeiture In Rem" letter from the Dept. of Justice for a property they hold a note against?  

Sounds like for my situation it's best to stick with using cash-flow as my measure and any potential increase in equity is just icing on the cake.

If it is a common name or if that person is no stranger to the court system, due to numerous criminal and civil cases, look through the cases under the "Caption" column for one that has a bank name or some financial company's name vs your owner's name.

In the situations where there was a "student" that had committed the fraud they usually did it not knowing they were committing a crime, whether regulatory or criminal.

@Samuel Sedore the criminal eviction in Arkansas is not really valid anymore.  

I was attending Los Angeles Real Estate Club by Phyllis Rockower but now that she sold it to Lloyd Segal I will no longer attend (he has a criminal record and was dis-barred, and I have no time for criminals).

The other crimes are either criminal mischief or theft.  

I know what you mean about the banks, they are merciless soulless entities that should all be shut down under the RICO act for operating an ongoing criminal enterprise.
