i would connect with an agent that understands what your needs are and can verify past deals that they have done such as yours.ultimately if your plan is to do more deals past these initial ones i would begin to implement marketing strategies that connect you directly to owners.and if you have money you can put towards marketing i would put into web based generated motivated seller leads...

Aside from that, I can find nothing on the State Attorney General's web site about taking deposits for work or prepayment.

I don't like the Yelp route I find it pretty unreliable.
