You can ask for recent pay stubs, employment history, rental history, and talk to their employer and landlord.

I read Poor Dad Rich Dad, and of course like many others I felt that Robert was talking about my specific situation.

I was talking to this seller about her wanting to sell her apartment complex and everything was going well and then I asked if we can get a your and all that.

I wasn't an agent I didn't have something to fall back on but I knew I could talk, I could connect and I could spark conversation.

Would you be interested in getting together and talking to me about your criteria and what you've learned in that competitive market?

Guys sorry 1 more thing- if you use listsource very much, call their customer support line, ask to talk to manager, and ask to be upgraded to a bulk list buyer (or whatever they call it).

Hello everyone,For starters I already know that I need to talk with my CPA.

The key is to get started and try out one method, track the results and get talking to the sellers on the phone.

Just with cashflow rentals as you are talking about: you could have bad tenants damage your property, and then you have to pay for repairs.  

As @Johnson H. suggested better to talk to a real estate attorney before taking action.
