(Tenant claiming you damaged something, stole something, etc.)I would probably consult an attorney who is up to date on the laws in the area.

But we have proven systems and procedures that delivers a great customer experience for our clients across all of our locations.We always give out a copy of our owners agreement so the client can review in detail.

While a lot of RE investors enjoy the business and serve customers’ needs or even have a passion for the business, hedge funds are focused on putting money to work no matter what the asset is.

Be it yellow letters, custom postcards, etc. it seems that this tactic of REI marketing is alive and fruitful here in CO.

Should I have a title search done, have the seller sign a Quit Claim Deed and then pay the back taxes?

Depending on the nature and degree of the repairs the tenant may have claim to an equitable interest in the property which would make things messy and complicated in the event you need to evict.  

I am going to play devils advocate on your thought process of cheaper money compared to local HML.Crowd funding will make a little dent.. but its very very hard to take customers away from their existing lenders.

As mentioned previously, there are two ways to go about proving/disproving the eviction. 1) Verify the address/owner/manager of property applicant claims to have lived during time period of eviction & get written evidence from landlord that applicant was residing there. 2) Send a written request to landlord/owner/manager involved in eviction to verify that this applicant is NOT the same as one in eviction (I ask if last 4-5 digits of ssn match their records).

This is a place to learn, share, get custom feedback to your questions and network. 

If you guys paid cash for the property & want to avoid borrowing funds, but need money to pay the contractor & start producing income, then you could possibly do a lease option (aka rent to own) allowing the tenant/ buyer to choose design elements or have input on the design (so that they feel they're getting some kind of customization & added value), this would be of course AFTER collecting an NROC fee, (Non-Refundable Option Consideration - not a down payment but gives them the right to purchase at a future date - usually 3-5 yrs) typically anywhere between 5%- 10% of the market value of the property.
