You still run credit/criminal, check references, verify income, etc.

Maybe bungalows are hot in your area which is why they sell for more even though they are identical in sq ft to other homes.Days on market is very important. 

I enter the data myself and then the tenant gets an email to verify identity and then the check is run. 

The criteria we consider (in weighted order): verifiable rental history, income ratio, ability to maintain (income history/savings/assistance), credit score (judgement/collection thresholds) criminal history.

Since June 2018, 2 homes of identical or smaller sq footage within a quarter mile of mine, built within 3 years of mine, sold for $1,900,000 and $1,800,000 (each was on the market for less than 2 months before selling. 

I would trust Zillow and ilk as far as I can throw them.Imho the best source is mls, and verify data with tax assessor data or participants in the sale.

To get the desired protection, you have to follow some rules to create a separate identity of the LLC such as maintaining it's separate book, singing all the lease in its name, and more.

As an update,  when I asked for more information so I can verify some other things he seemed to get annoyed and didn’t respond.

The closing agent has no responsibility in this.....they simply close the transaction as per the contract language and written agreements provided by the parties, they don’t go investigating/verifying such things.

A cousin is related by blood or marriage but you can always call HUD to verify.
