@Dominic FrascaHey Dominic, welcome to the site.I am in Eastern CT.

In California it will show the owner of record and a fairly reliable history, so if Joe Smith bought it and put it in SmithzoneWorld LLC 5 minutes later, you will see that Joe Smith was the owner of record for 5 minutes. 

I think bank history goes a long way beyond just credit score..

There are A FEW lenders will use the new owner's payments (given a certain history of payments) to off-set the debt so that it doesn't have an adverse affect on the DTI of the original owner. 

Both Zillow and Craigslist have posting date and Zillow has price history, so you can see when listed and when the listing was removed. 

To become a Broker you've got to have 2 years in the game, 40 transactions, a college degree, a physical office, a clean criminal history & I imagine some other stuff I can't think of off the top of my head.

The market has surely shown this tendency in its history. 1 year out of every 100 year period, the market will, and has corrected 10%-20%.

My credit score is extremely high, I have a high-paying job, no debt and I've been rejected over 13 times due to lack of "credit" history or some other ridiculous reason.

After the seven year period expires, evictions are deleted from public record and thereby from your credit report and rental history."

Never in the history of this country have we seen housing bottom out like it did at that time.
