So enough vetting or verification process really needs to be done in the host communities before payment is being made, because once money is being payed to the wrong person, that money is gone.
Yes you are correct, LandDAO does not only acquire lands from communities they also build a very good relationship with the communities and at such they take out time to do proper research, negotiation, survey and legal documentation of all their acquired lands from the communities so that their investors will have nothing to worry after investing in the properties. Do not forget that LandDAO does not make purchases for lands without proper information and confirmation from the rightful communities where the lands are located they also help to develop the rural communities and give employment opportunities to the indigenes of the community, I doubt if the communities will want to involve themselves with things that will affect them and the good things they will enjoy if they are working with LandDAO.
