Hey Jason, All sounds great, This area sounds promising for my next investment property.

.: It's a fake pose for the Google streets camera.

I completely agree that no one should have all 5-star reviews because it looks fake, but a 1-star is also hyperbolic and crushing to your business when you are new.

Allegedly they were scammed by a fake landlord posing as property owner. 

Even if PS had 100% accuracy, it wouldn't matter.It is about whether or not these people are motivated and I promise you 99.9% of these people PS will feed you are NOT motivated.So you should be thankful you only have a 20% success rate getting contact info, because if they gave you 100% contact info you would go bankrupt MUCH faster sending all these people mailers.Nothing can target motivated sellers, NOTHING can.

However, at this point I would give them their pay or quit notice and then mid January if they don't pay in full as promised I would be ready to proceed to schedule the court date. 

Just a worthless piece of paper that validates a promise (legal obligation). 

If that co-signer isn't in a position where you can force them to pay if things go sideways, then the fact that they co-signed is just a promise and you can't cash a promise!

They will promise you everything you want to hear.

Focus on identifying promising neighborhoods in the north or east bay by leveraging your husband’s contractor network, local real estate agents, and online deal-finding platforms.
