Assuming it's written in your management agreement somewhere that states the owners are current on all financial responsibilities related to the property, does anyone require them to actually provide a current mortgage statement, HOA payment record, taxes paid, etc..... at least at the time of the original management agreement signing.Recently had a new owner sign the agreement, only to find out after we had secured a new tenant for them, that they were in financial distress to say the least (inquiring about bankruptcy) .

Many times, I've found that tenants will decide that they would rather not have a formal eviction on their record and pay me the rent.

Featured Agent seems to go against that positive track record.  

Losing $50k through this is not ideal, but I’m fortunate that it is not a painful sum to lose.What I am seeking is advice on how to leave evidence in the public record that could be found by future landlords and limited partners vetting the GP, who’s seeking $8M total / $250k each from accredited investors per facility as he seems to have a plan to move around the country opening facilities.A $57k bill could be a devastating to many landlords, and I want to help prevent them from experiencing a similar situation. 

Any investor with this track record should have access to debt at 10% interest with 1-2 points, or potentially even less for someone their size. 

What does it mean when I see a mortgage and debt balance and public record balance compared to estimated value??????

As you build a track record of successful flips/rehabs, you'll typically qualify for better terms, like higher leverage/reduced down payments.

Find a high volume landlord tenant attorney based on what you see in the court records. 

If it was properly done, it's recorded and should be visible on the title report. 

For the record, I receive ZERO compensation for making this referral!
