Hi Ken, I'd do some verifying of your own on what it will rent for.

Try asking around and see how many of these professionals are prepared to verify that their clients are accredited.

I recently started the mobile detail so funds are also hard to verify for me. as you can see this is my biggest hurdle.

Talk to city hall about the taxes & assesments - check for permits and you can probably find out who replaced that AC unit and when they did it as well as how much they got called back for other repairs, talk to your insurance agent about rates.Basically, getting the numbers from the owner is a great start - but you have to be able to verify them against the market to know what's reality and what's fluff - always.

Is the insurance based on what the current owner is paying, and have you verified it would be the same?

And I typically do my own inspection upfront to verify that there is nothing overly concerning that could be a costly surprise.2.

Have you verified the leases?

I normally get responses to my ad in one day and have them verified in 3-4 days.

There was an escrow done but that appeared to be more so lender can verify title etc as there was no loan docs or disclosures done. 4.

Very easy to verify, get the address of the house that burned down, and the information.
