Verifying last 2 years of rental history very important!

I ask because I've interviewed a number of general contractors over the years for my various real estate projects and am shocked at how the vast majority showed up to the job site to give an estimate in a vehicle that did not display their contractor license number or business name.Aside from this one issue, they'd often have great portfolios, long list of successful permits I could verify they pulled, great references, no complaints on their license, and had been licensed for over a decade.

I did contact the LeadSafe incentive folks and verified that my property was eligible for the incentive, so I am grateful for that, but this is a good reminder to verify everything one comes across in this business.

I am having a hard time verifying military employment and pay.

Of course you need to see verifiable income that is adequate for the situation, but the old posts of 4 and 5X rent amount?

Verify the purchase price, potential rental income, and operating costs to determine whether it’s truly profitable.Understand Debt: Taking on $500,000+ in debt is a serious commitment.

What documents do they require, what credit scores do they allow, how do they verify previous rental history, etc.?

So, why would you use their numbers without verifying yourself and doing your own due diligence?

You could ask them before you can provide your ID if they can verify who holds the deed.
