When I self-managed C Class properties, I would put the requirements for tenancy in the rental listing (3x rent in income, 1-month security deposit, criminal check, etc.), and then when the potential tenants called in, I would speak to them for a few minutes, explain the requirements, get some sort of verbal confirmation on some or all of the requirements, and then invite them to different showing times I had set up.

The policies are basically in favor of loser criminals and other dead beats at the expense of the "rich" who made different choices so we weren't poor all of our lives...

Here’s why: http://www.keloland.com/news/article/news/joseph-stanford-talks-about-criminal-case and he has a new scam under Pro Close USA: http://www.procloseusa.com/#!

@Matthew Fortune Title insurance would not only cover your loss, it would cover the legal bills required to defend/prosecute your case.This is a no brainer in the REO scenario.

Crime: I use Trulia.com’s crime map to gauge the level of criminal activity around each subject property considered.

The report came back with the following:- no Criminal background- Seems like she has stayed in 5 places in the last 6 years ( i have the information on the last 3). - Evictions:  2 Records (one in 2009 Civil filing with $0 amount, and one in 2010 Civil Judgement $1890 - both by the same property mgmt group -- Lien/Judgement Filings: 3.

He maybe able to put liens on the real estate, even if held in different LLC's or corporations (It's tricky but can possibly be done)If this is rent that he has taken on your behalf, what if you filed a criminal complaint?

It may take a few months to get a solid case for prosecution and also they won’t be able to put all their small staff on that single issue but that is the proper way to deal with it.

People have even been criminally prosecuted for knowingly enabling a dangerous situation.

You will be amazed with the amount of information that a skip tracer can find on an individual.Basically they run the info against data bases such as utility, cell phone, criminal records, registered vehicles....When dealing with collection agencies you need to keep in mind that they are most interested in people that can supply them with regular business.
