To respond to both posts, this is a very good business to invest in. The POA only states that the property owner is aware that normally the check is mailed to him, however, he's authorizing HUD to send the check to you. HUD will send the check to you ONLY IF the power of attorney was submitted along with the refund application. However, you are NOT allowed to cash the check!! And, it's illegal if you even think about it so don't! Besides, the check is made out to the property owner(s). I've never come across HUD "going against a legal binding agreement...". go back and read your POA, if it's the proper POA.
I charge 20% of all the refunds i recover. 10% prior to sending in the TFC and 10% prior to sending in the refund application. On the other hand i don't charge anything if the refund amount is under $35 or so, because in this case i'm looking for referrals. 30% is a bit steep and 10% is not enough. 20% seems to be fair. Good luck with charging 30%, if it works for you.
I do this business full time nationwide and i show others how to also be successful 3rd party tracers. Not only do i show others how to do this business and be successful, i'm actually doing the business and have been for over seven years. My website is

Through my easy to follow & understand interactive ebook, I show you how to start with little or no money at all, how to get paid upfront all the time so you don't need to worry about getting paid and provide support if needed. If you'd like to try it before you buy, i also allow free access to the first three chapters. Send me your email and i'll share it with you.
Keep in touch!
