You need to verify numbers and if not accurate get the seller to agree in the contract to a price reduction to reflect the data.

If you're dealing with a more experienced seller you should be able to get info simply by asking the listing agent for it, but you have to be sure to verify-- this book has some good info about what to put in the contract so they can't get away with too much slippery stuff. oh, and add up all the numbers yourself.

Verify that it is a valid deal.

Verify all this with a local RE attorney.

I just called the County clerks office to verify the yearly taxes on the duplex I'm interested in buying.

Still no response after I verified the regurgitation.

The tenant's were very meticulous with their finances and made plenty of money (verified by their 2012 tax return).

I found a potential wholesale deal but looked up the property and found that the owner of the property is not who I have been talking too, how do I verify that this guy has the right to sell the property, should he have a contract?

One lady was going through the process of verifying herself and the online system basically said the info she gave could not be verified.

To be honest, the one thing I'm not sure about is what responsibility, if any, I have for verifying that the funds from the buyer have not been obtained by illicit means.
