You do not have to claim they are inaccurate, you can simply request that the CRA verify the information.

I had no way of verifying this one way or the other.

1) ask the seller straight up about it.2) verify with whatever county agency handles foreclosure filings, ask Them how to verify, check status, etc.If foreclosure has been filed, and he has equity, there should be some motivation.

Lastly, you would always want to verify all of the expenses - 60% is just a general first look qualifier, and actual expenses may be more or less.

how exactly do they verify that someone is married or unmarried?

I do rely on zestimate for rent since I've found it has been fairly accurate, but I still verify with the MLS.

@Jesse Lawrence If you're actually going to build an "apartment", verses a bedroom and space to rent, you need to verify zoning allows for 2 units, which I doubt if it's in a SFR neighborhood. 

In order to determine if a property is cash flowing, you will need to verify the following in your target market: Actual rents, taxes, insurance, HOA fees Then, you will need to deduct certain costs/fees associated with the rental: Maintenance/Capex (10% rent), Utilities (if any), Management (10%), Vacancy (8% min.), Yard Care (if any) Subtract all of these verified costs/fees from your rent - this is called your Net Operating Income (NOI).

I can't vouch for exactly how accurate it is, other than to say that the numbers that I did verify with other sources seemed pretty darn accurate.For example, it has vacancy rates for the Baltimore area:http://www.deptofnumbers.com/rent/maryland/baltimore/Unfortunately, it only goes up to 2012.

She said she needs it to "verify benefits" and "for the file."
