When making an offer on a MF property, is there any way to verify the rental income that the seller claims to make on the property?  

Hi Wayne, I forgot to ask, What is the best way or ways to verify a person's POF?

., and THEY pay off the mortgage, after verifying the true mortgage balance, which you can not do.

Require it and verify it regularly.

You really need a local attorney on the ground that invests and understands tax certificates and tax liens and can research and tell you the exposure you have with the property you want to buy.There is penalties and interest that has been accruing for years so do not believe what a seller is telling you for you need to verify yourself.

Don't over explain things, say you still need the 2nd person's app filled out and that because they have no credit history showing that you have to verify their ability to pay with bank statements and past LL info.

I'd be afraid their next step will be to damage the property if they still have access.Just have your agent contact the seller's lender (seller's title holder) to verify in writing that they've requested additional move out fees.

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.

Also, I went into to check out the Zillow tool and once I input the address and go to the next screen it wants me to verify the owner as though I am the owner doing an inquiry.  

I'd of course verify all these numbers and dig a little more to see what the actual figures are.
