Any stories-divorce ruined my credit, have been living with relatives, just sold our house, people in a hurry to rent, people offering money up front, etc verify.

And they will need to see you have enough to pay your contractors until they reimburse you after they inspect the property to verify that the work has been done properly.Even if you were to find a lender willing to put up all the money, your lack of reserves will definitely cause you major problems somewhere along the line, especially if this is your first flip.I think you need more education and savings before you take on your first project.

I've read that "Senior Liens" stay with the property after the sheriff sale, how would I be able to verify this information before bidding on a property?

Presuming you make an offer, include that they need to provide copies of the approved permits during your inspection period (trust but verify).

Is it real historical recent NOIs (preferred) or the broker's ProForma (closer to BS) - Hence there's reporting bias.If you want something that is good curve fit, $/SqFt is actually pretty good:1) You know the SqFt (tax records) and Price (easy enough to verify)2) It compensates for lots of studios or 3 beds (small to large)Kinda stupid, but you've got my $0.02

Perhaps, having someone with boots on the ground in the area that you want to invest in, who can verify your contacts, rehabs, take pictures and be an added layer of confirmation for you, could help ease your worries and strengthen your ability and confidence to invest out of state.

I haven't rented a property like this.One thing I would say is to try to verify that their job really does pay on the 1st and the 15th. 

Sometimes even with wording to "verify all information and apply only through the website above" and "avoid scams".

How and when would I verify that information is accurate?

Just to verify the $1400 for a one bedroom or are those the current rents?
