Most tax sales expunge all other liens with the exception of local code violation laws and IRS liens, but again an attorney would be able to verify this for you.

We have had so many fake lenders, one looked so legitimate until they asked for money upfront.Chad Davis a BP member just advised us: "They should have no problem providing you with a title company to verify previous closings."

Anyway, I'm under the impression that lenders use your tax returns to verify your income.

We checked the business plan, verified the market research, created the opportunity packet, and spoke to a couple investors that we had relationships with.

I had read somewhere that marketing to pre-foreclosures was frowned upon in Washington but I hadn't found any further credible sources verifying that.

Can anybody please verify this information?

VERIFY PROPPER COVERAGE!

@Darius OglozaYou did verify by actually viewing previous projects, correct?

Here's what I have so far:1) Network on BP or local REIA's to find qualified contractor referrals then further vet those referrals through websites like Yelp.2) Interview 10-15 contractors through those referrals or websites.3) Get 3-5 materials and labor separated bids with an expected worst case scenario time frame for your rehab prior to finalizing the deal.4) Turn the bid into a binding contract where bonuses are in place for finishing on time/early and penalties are established for finishing late.5) Supply the materials for each phase of the rehab and pay labor as phases are verified to be complete by other team members (Real Estate Agent/Property Manager). 

1) 3% down conventional loans are Only for single family homes, not 2-4 units. 4 units are 20-25% down  2) if you don’t move in, without verifiable cause, it’s Mtg fraud on an owner occupied loan.
