Former landlords should be contacted, income and employment verified, credit reports run, application details checked, personal references reached out to, and public records (like bankruptcy or eviction) searched.

Most likely a criminal and a con artist.Good to see you survive and didn't get blown away by that nasty storm.The trouble actually seems to be the forgery, false statements to the bankruptcy court, invalid contracts, stealing equity from people in foreclosure  - well the list goes on. 

you can file legal recourse, but my guess is that Trace (Wendell's real name when he was busy scamming people in 2010) will just file Bankruptcy and take on another new persona.  

The lender WILL notice that bankruptcy, and that is the time when the buyer is at risk of having the note called due. 

If they declare bankruptcy, for instance, the mortgage could be pulled into the proceedings, and you could lose the property.

We even had a seat at the table with former HUD Secretary Carson who issued a statement about the importance of co-living, please feel free to ask your AE for that declaration.

Yeah, it's all there, in the bankruptcy court proceedings.Lol, aaaahhh yeah, my friend an Attorney does numerous of these each week. 

Those will have to be paid too.Putting a property on the MLS does not stop a foreclosure sale.The lender can, or for cause, the attorney can postpone or cancel a sale.Filing a bankruptcy can sometimes stop a foreclosure.

has to be declared and transfer taxes paid.

A true title search includes many things other than the land records like; judgements, municipal liens, federal liens, bankruptcy, estate search, divorce records etc.
