Michael,Welcome to the online family that is Bigger Pockets!

I know of another realtor who runs a wholesaling business and blatantly lies in his online marketing, claiming his business has no affiliation with any realtor.

You can find a good promissory note online, then just have the seller sign the note and take it in to put a lien on the property that way you will ensure that the title company sends you a check.

They say just post ads everywhere online but I found my buyers by going to investor clubs, events, and seminars.I have some weird people replying to my ads saying that will give me million of dollars to buy my 60k house.

Your best bet might be a Private Lender (Aka Family)

Mitch,No need for a special account just to send in payments.Just send in a check with the payment coupon, or pay online if the lender has a website for doing so.As long as the lender is getting the payments, on time, they won't care who wrote the check out and from where.HTH,Jim

Even you know i bet you can find out the name of the company from my other post.

google your county's name for the Property Appraisers office.Most counties now have these records online.

I did do a register of deed search on line and found the original mortgage, two others from the same bank, one from another bank plus a mechanic lien all against the same property.

If you do not want to join an agency for credit/background, and pay their fees, there are a few do it yourself ways to get some information--You can require the applicant provide you with their free credit report which they can obtain online--(you would have to know how to read and assess it), also you can go online for public records checks to see about evictions, and criminal public records. and thirdly, the landlord name & reference they provide to you, you can go to your county tax records online, put in the address or parcel # to see if the name on the property address really is the landlord, or just a friend that they have asked to pretend to be the landlord --that happens alot.
