I am in the process of looking for my first multi family. 

I am slowly working my way thru the process :)I think remembering to set my goals, then check this againt those, and also be sure to see if there are better returns i could get elsewhere are my main criteria right now. 

The court is of little help in such situations since if tenant does not provide forwarding address, the court will not process a complaint. as a Landlord i am desperately searching for a way or a method outside of traditional credit bureaus to verify and screen such tenants.

The wife will walk them through the process if that is required. 

I'm assuming the builders don't issue a 1099.These builders generally have their own forms and require you to use them.I'm just unsure what this process really looks like.

Life is great through this process.

The whole process took about 11 days. 

Shout out to my realtor Shaine Cobb with better homes and gardens for patiently helping me through the process.

I have 3 under contract right now, and two of them are wrapping up the closing process towards the end of next week it looks like.One of the properties is good to go, financing is all locked down, appraisal/inspection is done, etc.But...

Don't get frustrated by the process.
