How do you verify foot traffic data?

In either case, you should verify that you are eligible to transfer the funds from your existing retirement account (e.g. if the funds are in your current employer 401k, you will likely not be able to transfer until you quit your job).Considerations in Setting up a Solo 401k to invest in real estate:1.

Background check, talk to their last two landlords, talk to their boss/verify their income and set your expectations!

Nothing is in stone, and we are verifying mortgages and getting her the contract to sign (authorization for release of info, etc.) but even without the moratorium on evictions, I don't trust the tenant knows about the seller selling the property so I'm going to go knock on her door and talk with her. 

If the agent has nothing to gain from their insight, I'd trust their opinion but also try to verify with other local sources.

Fraud can be difficult but it is really about verifying everything you can, had a PM who received a false W2 from a tenant and never bothered to call the employer to confirm.

That person needs to verify that the parties are who they claim to be. 

Verify licenses and insurance being current.

Of course there is not time or resources to verify, so I get it.To play devils advocate, we need to rescue some big businesses like airlines.

Best ways to vet: #1 verify with licensing board that the contractors license is active and all necessary insurances are up to date.
