We charge pet rent based on the risk of the pet.  We use www.petscreening.com to screen the animals, the same way we screen people. This is free to the landlord. The pet owner pays $20.  The vendor gives a paw rating of 1-5. Our pet rent ranges from $30-50, depending on the paw rating. This keeps it objective.

Pierce Mccoy is a law firm in Norfolk that has syndication experience, but I don't know about self-directed IRAs. I am a self-directed IRA investor though, and don't really see why an attorney would need extensive knowledge to evaluate a PPM. Your IRA custodian should be able to advise you in that regard. I am very happy with Mid-Atlantic IRA. It is managed by a CPA. He may be another good source for you. His name is Jack Kiley with MidAtlantic, IRA.

@Sean McDowell - You really can't rely on the city map for exact property lines. They are estimates, as their system can only draw straight lines.  

@Tyreek King-El - You should order a survey to be sure.  We always use DKT.  You can place the order right on their website. http://dktassociates.com/

Our agent community created a FB group specifically for contractor referrals. You do t have to be an agent to join. Look for Hampton Roads Services Referral Network and ask away.

What we use to validate child support is to see that the funds actually flow through her bank account. A court order doesn't mean she is getting paid.  The vendor we use to validate what income is actually received is www.payscore.com.

Virginia allows this.  There is a form you need to complete with DPOR and your Broker has to be OK with it.  Your Broker should be able to guide you on this.

Curious why you are interested in finding info about a divorce.  Yes, you can find that info in the Virginia Circuit Court records, but I have never found a need to know that info for a tenant screening.
