I was thinking about looking in Public records and seeing who owns the property and seeing if they are motavated to sell it.

Work hard and continue to always educate yourself.

Lynn,Was this an adjuster with your insurance carrier or a public adjuster you hired to represent you?

Another thing you can do is advertise in your real estate investor club publication, if any, or have flyers laying out on the table for members to pick up.

This is assuming you can make sense of the IRS publications as they are very difficult to read as they are poorly written.

I didn't know that lawyers were sworn to honesty.I do know that in Florida it requires more education to become a hair-dresser than it does to become a real estate agent.

will get the opportunity to help us test market, and will get a TON of FREE publicity for their deals.We will be charging for this opportunity in the near future, so jump and get to me ASAP!

Not that I would support it, but for public service..

If you do not want to join an agency for credit/background, and pay their fees, there are a few do it yourself ways to get some information--You can require the applicant provide you with their free credit report which they can obtain online--(you would have to know how to read and assess it), also you can go online for public records checks to see about evictions, and criminal public records. and thirdly, the landlord name & reference they provide to you, you can go to your county tax records online, put in the address or parcel # to see if the name on the property address really is the landlord, or just a friend that they have asked to pretend to be the landlord --that happens alot.
