Like a "secret shopper", but looking for bad landlords.

I've had them discover a furnace that was pumpin out too much carbon monoxide.

On top of that, the secret is out and prices are already rising.

@Erin Donlan Thanks for the tips - just joined meet up and discovered the groups.

If you think you will go FHA, Conventional, 203k, etc. and then Quit Claim the property, to a LLC, or a Land Trust you run the risk of the lender discovering a Title Transfer occurred and activating the "Acceleration Clause" or "Due on Sale Clause" that requires the loan to be paid in full, within 'x' number of days.

Here's the top 5 I'd recommend: (in no particular order)Who Moved My Cheese - Spencer Johnson (deals with change)How to Win Friends and Influence People - Dale Carnegie (One of the best sales books)Secrets of Closing the Sale - Zig Ziglar (Another top sales book)Guerilla Marketing - Jay Conrad Levinson (One of the best marketing books)Platform - Michael Hyatt (About how to use social media)
