Show a drivers license to get property address, is this normal?

Question

Hello, I am new to investing. Should I have to show my drivers license to view an off market property’s address? I am working through a third party company that lists deals and they are requiring that I provide a picture of my ID and that I sign an NDA. Is this normal? Thanks in advance

Make sure the NDA only covers this specific property. Too many scammers have broad NDAs that state anything they send you you will have to pay them a fee and then they proceed to send you every deal (on and off-market) to your inbox.

Heck! I had to show my driver's license at the recycling center yesterday; no NDA though.

NDA is normal but DL is not.

Hello Ken,

The NDA is standard for off-market properties.

For Real Estate professionals showing these properties, a business card is typically required. For non-RE professionals, sellers or companies sometimes require ID to keep track of every person who visits the property.

Best of luck to you on your first deal!
