Should the same practice apply to tenants or possible tenants?

How do you practice due diligence by getting comps and comparable rents in the area by a third party professional without someone trying to sell you something else?

However, this...Practically, this means you can have sold your previous home last week, but can't own other RE as of closing except as described above.So for folks that already own a bunch of real estate, not really a model match.Anyone just getting out, however, folks in their network need to be bringing this to their attention!

My advice is to use a service that is mitigating the risk through standard fraud practices. 

I have worked in TX, KS, and MO and totally agree that laws, guidelines, documentation, and typical practice varies quite a bit. 

I understand that this is more/less standard practice in wholesaling.

It sounds like finding a lender will be tough in this situation and making that happen this morning practically impossible.

I did an agreement on Legal Zoom once and I did not understand parts of the agreement - and I practiced law for 12 years.  

The project needed to be a value-add investment where I could secretly prove to myself that I could project manage an entire gut renovation for future flipping endeavors ( What better project to practice on then your own home ).

As a practical matter you can bet that your exploitative tenant, who has already lawyered up and sent you a legal letter, is going to try and halt your eviction.
