Verifying last 2 years of rental history very important!

We’ve repeatedly asked the seller to provide the tenant’s rental payment history, but there has been no response.I asked my realtor how we can verify the payment history, but she didn’t directly answer and simply mentioned that I can either accept or deny the lease (it’s a month-to-month lease, which I’m fine with).Should I move forward with the sale?

If you find a problem, deal with it immediately by making the tenant correct it within X days (and verify with another inspection) or remove them from the property.Most DIY landlords lose more money to simple mistakes than it would cost them to hire a professional property manager.

However, best to call zoning and verify if what you are doing is possible.

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

All we do is verify through the PVA that there is indeed property and put them into the database.

You can even sweeten the pot by telling them they don't have to clean, and you will hand them their deposit on the day of move-out after a 10-minute inspection to verify there are no damages. 

Trust your gut then verify your thoughts.
