So I'm assuming a wholesaler is wanting to move it for a little cash and asked him to verify before I make any calls.He calls me back the next day and tells me that the individual is a negotiator.

I would want to verify the financials, check the vacancy history, look at the overall market vacancy rate.You'll also want to check out the condo association.

I had to verify the "listings" via MLS... which kind of defeats the purpose of realtyTrac.

The OP was about using the insurance as a "bank" as I recall...hopefully this is the right thread since there have been 3 basically identical ones lately!

Also, how do I verify if the non profit agency is legit.

Citimortgage will loan on your 5th through 10th property (spoke to them on 10/26/10 of this year, I assume nothing has changed): * 30 year fixed* Must have 6 mths cash reserves on all properties (Fannie standard), not just subject property * LTV to 75% * Only 1 and 2-unit properties, no 3's or 4's on the 5th thru 10th loan* Lender fees $665 (this is very competitive) * He stated up front will be lengthy underwriting, having to verify operating results on 5+ properties * Will loan down to $10K, believe it or not.Flagstar -> also goes to 10 loans including home (also no 3 or 4-unit after 4th property)

Those that responded to this terror attack should be given the benefits, as they were just as much on the front line of "war" as any soldier.That said, I agree that there should be some serious accounting for the money going out, and it should only be given where it is verifiable as to its need and use.

I don't know laws in NC, but in California you have to have verifiable experience, and pass a State test to get a contractors license.

Selling agent verifies with us, that we're still interested in the house and that he's sorry the banks are taking so long..

Is there anywhere that reliable data can be mined, if nothing else but to verify what the agent says?
