Some of my best memories are of visiting tenants to collect checks and socialize.

Basically the bank will quaoify you for the mortgage, you will need to show proof of funds...but cannot be the actual LOC.

You are on the best community and social network for anyone interested in real estate investing.

I can ask our realtor - he's a big social media guy - but I'd love more than one opinion!

Can anyone tell me where I can get boilerplate independent contractors agreement, release of liens, and proof of payment received forms???

She has a social, a green card, and a job here in the US. 

The proof you need to remove this condition from harming your loan approval will be to prove that you were "not," obligated on this debt that is current going through a modification or shortsale.I saw that you mentioned "currently going through modification or shortsale," if they find that you're obligated on this note/debt then your loan may be shot depending on what the verfication of this mortgage comes back with.Here are the steps the underwriter will probably ask for:- ask for mortgage note to see if you're obligated on this debt- run title profile or obtain a title report to see if you're on title- then run a VOM (verification of mortgage) to see what the mortgage rating and payment history has been on this mortgage (if you're obligated)- update the file accordingly and run the file through the current guidelines to see if you still qualify

if the buyers who are calling to see the inside are unknown and the property is $$$, what's best way to screen them, ask for proof of funds or letter from their bank before showing?

I have found alot of one-pager websites that offer the service but are either too far away or very vague and don't explain their 'flat' fee.The 3 days to quit already passed and the next step i would imagine is prepare the Complaint, Cover, Addendum, Summons, and Claim and take them all to the court to purchase a case # (for $240) and if everything filled out correct to the T, file it and then serve summons with the case# on it and file proof of service (done by a 3rd party, to each tenant individually, personally?)

They allow the option to grab a single report and bundle a bunch of reports together.This is what you're looking for: eviction history reportThat includes: Tenant Social Security number alert – Notifies you of potential issues with an applicant’s SSNTenant inquiries – Indicates if the applicant has applied for housing within our national networkEviction court records on file including: Tenant judgment for possession and moneyUnlawful detainersTenant judgments for rentFailure to pay rentWrits and warrants of evictionI hope that helps.
