If I am looking for a plumber to fix busted pipes in a house and he does not want to pull permits …then I think it is a red flag …-Now I am doing pretty good job screening tenants …do you think I shall apply the same technique towards subs ..taking picture of their driving license, checking local court records if there are any pending suits against them or if they sued somebody ?

Lawyers may be more prone to take something court - but only if they think they're in the right.

We should get a court date this week.The only tenant left actually has been paying on time.

Next step is to the court house, and check out everything everyone has mentioned.

They've been around for 15 years and while they still constitute a small fraction of real-estate transactions, a court ruling in the past 2 (maybe 3 now) years opened the door for them to have access to the MLS system for their listings and has accelerated their growth.

Once you get into tax court you can't represent them there unless you have passed additional testing and certification.

The original deed will have a common wall agreement meaning you can take him to court over not doing maintenance that effects said common wall.

Also, sellers are willing to do an Option of some sort until the Buyer can qualify and three of the four properties are in a Historical district and have been declared such.My question: Does it sound like I'm stepping into some mess?

So even if you pick a state with stronger protections like WY or NV, the cause of action arose in the state where the tenant fell, so likely that the court where the accident happened would have jurisdiction.

In order to remove that lien, by posting a cash bond, the money has to be deposited in the county court registry.
