the way it works is they sign up with a major credit bureau of their choice and provide the credit bureau with my email so the credit bureau can forward me their credit report. that way i'm not personally liable at all for any possible allegations of misuse of their SS#. its the ONLY way i will accept a credit report for persons applying for my own rentals. how can someone not want to provide their SS# to the credit bureau?!

It touches on a lot of the sentiment shared above and brought a really interesting concept to my attention.I almost exclusively use COC (Cash on Cash) return for my metric of choice when pulling the trigger.  

Make your own choice, but know, that you will be excited with what they have to offer and they will have people in the crowd acting like audience members but work for the group.

Just because it seems like a bad choice to you doesn't mean t's not the perfect thing for the seller.Final thought... a property with a purchase price this low is probably not going to produce an NOI at 50%.

Lots more choices when you get up around Boston and North as well.

I think you guys are making the right choice focusing on the beauty of cash flow.

I used my property manager as my agent which ended up good since he was already familiar with property rules etc but honestly I did not have much choice , his property management had clause that if I was planning to sell condo , I will give him try for atleast 4 months and he did good in selling condo in 3 months (win-win situation) ;).

Good choice wanting to come over to the Fort Worth side of the Metroplex!

Taking risk is a choice so weigh the numbers carefully.

I still drive my beater, but by choice.
