Some decisions I imagine are difficult because no housing authority is the wiser, and the tenant is kind of marginal or accustomed to poverty, and so it would be tempting to kind of turn a blind eye, and look out for one's own bottom line (or even, one's investment, or even, one's family).

This could be an REI-friendly agent, or a seasoned member of your local REI group, but a second opinion may be very useful.Title/escrow companies will make sure the T's are crossed and I's dotted, but will definitely NOT guide you as to the value of the investment.So far as other legal E's are concerned, most competent Real Estate attorneys will be happy to look over your shoulder for $500 if needed, but again, still will not likely be able to counsel you on the true value of the investment.Good luck!
