Is this an area worth investigating?

The Bar’s loan-mod squad is investigating more than 400 active complaints from consumers about lawyers’ roles in loan modification scams.

Also, he had just admitted to multiple counts of felony fraud.Lying on a mortgage application (including those for home equity products, which are second mortgages) is generally a federal offense and is usually investigated by the FBI, sometimes assisted by state law enforcement.

I think some serious investigation needs to be done..

Lending requires a bit more investigation and compliance with laws, both local and federal.land banking (investing in raw land) requires some very good due diligence into the market and into each potential purchase, then has negative cash flow so your exit strategy must be well planned out and this is more of a speculation play.You should be adding to tax deferred/tax free growth accounts like an IRA, solo 401k or ROTH versions of either.

We encourage all prospective bidders to conduct their own due diligence and investigate all matters relating to the properties that they are interested in purchasing.

I'll keep investigating and doing my research until I'm set up correctly.

What I do is create a "portfolio" for "investigations" and then a new portfolio for "offers."  

There are a few ways but the best way is to use a Private Investigator.

Heck, maybe you can even throw in "landlord gets invited to cool parties" into the agreement (just kidding).Before doing anything, of course, investigate all the laws of the land in relation to room renting.
