Set standards and hold too them, don't look for reasons to ignore risk.Believing in second chances is for social workers not landlords.

Best advice on estate and foreclosures....do some research before you engage.

I didn't want to give my social security number out, I didn't want my name on their rent roll, I didn't want to show my 1040's to them, I didn't want them pulling my credit history and I didn't want them reporting my address to the credit bureaus.If someone approaches me with an offer to pay for a year in advance, I would consider it as long as they explain to me their reasoning and they agree to let me run a criminal background check.

Through one of my social networks, an RE attorney reached out to me to see if he could add me to his client list. 

An idea for you would be to start talking with everyone in your social circle about what you're doing.

Call the board, my broker, slam me on social media, I have that same duty to a short sale seller as I have to any other client.

Engage with people who are further up the road than you.

I don't know what your legal fees are, but this amount would be too small to make it worthwhile to engage attorneys for me.Since I am not an unscrupulous person, I will send you the full amount you are requesting.
