Did you check if they registered with the sec for this offeringAnother road is to call the state board of securities and file a complaint - especially if they never filed either the sec (even if it’s an exempt offering they still need to file that as well as a form to each state noting their are investors from that state)

I have a listing priced at $2450 (4 BR, 2.5 bath).I am currently focusing on 1 applicant who makes ~100K in her current job for 25 years, excellent rental references for past 9 years but my rent is $800 more than her current rent and she already acknowledged that she is pay check to paycheck. 

I have quite a bit of experience at this and even went to Lehigh acres in the 80s to check it out..

And these 3 cities go farther with the requirement of a background check for the main guest. 

If you are a realtor that is wholesaling, just check your local Real Estate Commission rules.

So check that off your list.

For the guest it is easy- no need to fill out an application, pay for a credit check.
