I also like to call and verify their current employment.

OK I just called the state and was told that they are waiting for Jefferson County to verify  that  the property is a homestead .

When they give you the list, go to been verified and sign up.

I currently make a large portion of my under the table and is not verifiable income.

It is clean and safe, but not overly nice, and there is a major eyesore property next door to this one.It has new siding, new paint and new floors and does not appear to have super aged water heater/ac/roof but I intend to have a home inspection to verify the big stuff.

If someone comes to me, I'll send them your way.If you need help in your search or want to verify something don't hesitate to ask.For example: I have clients worldwide and things are just as easy as I e-mail them, talking on the phone.

Not sure how to verify any of that.  

Has anyone you know done that ( not just said they've done it, actually had it verified)?  

@Dakoda SpencerZillow shows tax information but you will also want to verify it on the town website because there may also be an additional town or school tax.I would probably pay cash for the property if rent is going to be so low because you will need some money to cover ongoing expenses.

Check the comps to verify value.
