The landlord needs to look into this further to find the root cause and address it.

Now, I can tell you with certainty that she'd tell a lie when the truth would sound better and in the first 5 minutes of the call my BS detector was fully deflected and straining past the red into the "no reality check" range, but I continued to ask her questions.

Just curious, is there anything in the report that would raise some red flags?

We called the 24*7 plumbing and snaked the line immediately and later the next morning took care of changing the entire plumbing line upto the mainline for 5000$ due to roots in the pipe.The tenant in the house says about 1-2 glasses of water flowed from under the toilet into the bathroom and onto the bedroom carpet.

HSBC's short sale facilitators are aware and knowledgable about discounted payoffs vs. short sales and were willing to present my offers.Thanks for the offer, but it's hard to get excited about a BOA loan file that probably has big red flags on it now.

Then I look at the collections, medical bills I am fine with but any utility/phone/cable bill in collections is a red flag

Anyone who tells you otherwise is blowing smoke and red flags should jump up everywhere.

Another tip I read was to write the letter and address the envelope in red ink.

Don't tell them you're an "investor" as that's a red flag in the minds of many agents and synonymous with 'dreaming time waster person.'

I would say that her wanting to include future deals as part of this agreement is a red flag.
