What's the best way to verify that the landlord listed on the application is really their past landlord and is not a fake landlord (applicant's friend, mother, or fake landlord reference service?)

I'm looking to house hack and help my mother at the same time.  

Question: how does the mother of your child fit into all of this.

We own a single-family home with an additional small rental unit (mother-in-law quarters, casita) in Aurora, and addressing the utilities with the tenants is proving difficult. 

I just graduated from college last May and began working right away with a decent salary, but the usual debt and student loans are quite the pain in my pocket.Because of that, I was thinking maybe I could try to get the FHA along with my mother who has a better credit and together we can probably get a higher loan amount to be able to go for a multi family.

I'm not sure where this post belongs but I'm in a tough spot and I'm not sure what to do.My mother and I have been investing in inner-city properties for the past several years, buying gutted foreclosures in the 10-20K range and doing rehab work in-house.

My mother was always looking for a new house and the thought always excited me from a young age.

I even had a broker ask for my mother's maiden name. 

Account Closed  its those weasel clauses that just put a stain on wholesaling frankly.would you like someone doing this to your 80 YO mother.. no intention of closing unless they can resell.get the sellers hopes up make plans to move only to use your weasel clause to back out last minute.do unto others right.. 

Her first exit strategy is to give her mother the quick claim deed and she will make her payments and bring it up to current as long as it doesn't ruin her moms credit.
