Know who you are dealing with and then go into the partnership AFTER you've investigated them.

Very good point Brad.Obviously after this long around real estate and the folks that deal in the industry I could write a book on lessons learned.To boil it down, I'd say I found that you can please most people most of the time but you'll never please all the people all the time so get over it.Another to Brad's point, I never really trust what I see, much less what I hear, if I see or hear something that looks or sounds fantastic it just means I have more investigating to do.Another lesson is that it's not so much as to what is written in the contract as it is what's meant between the lines.

Thanks @Erica Bird i used Tax title services and so far they have investigated the forclosure and saw that it was done 100 percent correctly and they issued a notice to boston title and it all looks great and I have all the ducks in a row for title insurance.

Have you investigated a FHA loan with 3.5% down.  

We’ve been investigating second position mortgage notes but aren’t sure on how to proceed.

We did a rather thorough investigation of the piping (mainly copper with PVC on the inside of the house).
