I'm considering the same, mostly for the Pro forum and marketplace (where better to find deals/partners/private money than here on BP?).

Postal Inspection Service investigates any violation involving the U.S.

Conventional, FHA, private money, hard money, cash, etc.

Did you investigate what happened to rental prices and the demand for rental properties following the crash in 2008 (in the location you are investing).In many places, values dropped 40-50%. 

Additional Questions I have in my mind are: 1)This property located some distance from me and so I am not entirely sure if 5 of 2 yr dumpster pick up X 6 times a week that my private trash service company is telling me I need are indeed accurate. 2)This is a condo unit, however the Condo is refusing to take care of the retail condos' trash pick ups as the residential side is being taken care of for free by the city.

I need some sound advice on how I go about vetting a private investor that has contacted me from BP. 

I also use a Private Lender for the initial purchase of the property.  

(d) A public or private water supplier shall not impose a lien against real property to secure unpaid charges for water furnished unless the owner of such real property is the person who incurred the charges and shall not deny water services when such a lien has been extinguished.

We were able to finance our first two deals with a line of credit agreement we made with a private investor at a very good interest rate.

If you are planning to use Fannie/Freddie loans for your next residsntial property (which are the best finacing vehicles upto 10 loans for single and 20 for married couple) no lender will allow you to close and take the title in the name of an LLC.Only commercial loans or private money and a few other types can be closed in the name of LLC but not for Fannie/Freddie reaidential conforming loans.People take the title in their own name, setup a single member LLC and then transfer the title into the LLC
