People who are really determined to sell their house have undoubtedly posted about it on their social media account.

I've always found the background check services do not do a thorough job so I always overlay that service with my own gumshoe due diligence  (talking directly to immediate supervisors, ensuring the previous "landlord" owns the property, checking social media, etc.).Never rely exclusively on these services. 

You control the outcome.The Power of the Open House ApproachOnce you’ve got a solid buyers list, you can move from simply posting deals online to hosting buyer walkthroughs and turning your properties into mini-auctions.When 10 or 20 investors walk through a property at once, you create urgency and social proof.

Quote from @Carter Ledwith: Great point on the goal of balancing speed and safety.

For property owners and investors, this is a major safety and financial concern.

There are health and safety concerns for both gas and electric ranges.

Thinking more granular about these banking products might add to the safety you seek.What I mean is the Money market at Bank of America pays for instance 4%, the money market at the local Bank of Bricktown Pays 4.5%, and an online outfit is offering 5%.When the SHTF, The local bank, and the online bank may be more likely to fail.

As a CPA who works with real estate investors, I see so much bad advice floating around online—especially on social media—about “easy” credits and quick refunds.

Nationally I think there is a lot more fraud overall, not only rental applciations but loan applications, social engineering scam with emails etc.
