To spot those, \u201clook for names like John or Jane Smith, or obviously fake names or just numbers and letters.

That said like any industry there are always some unscrupulous players you must look out for. I find not only are their reviews fake, but their websites are pretty generic too. When looking for a real estate investor to buy your house spend some time on their website. What does your gut tell you? Do some of them look a little too much the same?\u201d Cheers, Angie!
