Thanks all for the input.I was going to to receive the deposit per the sellers changes to his terms, and he wanted to write me a personal check after closing.

There is much to to gained from the example of inspiring, dedicated people.

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.

Do you have any colleagues, clients, or yourself who are willing to share their annual Whole Life Policy statements to see if the great claims of Whole Life are verifiable? 

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.

Nothing like anouther to to keep you busy.
