Tell them that when they move out to call you (set up a Google Voice number) and you'll send someone over to verify it's been clean and you'll pay them $200 in Cash on the spot.

Try to verify what the PM is telling you... its not too hard to get some comps on rentals.

I'd want to verify this.

Keeping in mind that when i make the offer, I have either already walked the property (or if not, when I get word they seller will be acepting my offer, I do so) and then the following day or two, I have my contractor out to verify my rehab budget is correct.

Another thing to keep in mind: have the incoming tenant put the utilities in their name AND VERIFY IT the day before they move in, so you don't get hosed there.

Request bank statements, verify her funds.

What documents do you ask for to verify the income, expense, vacancy, etc. of a triplex rental property?

The tenants pay utilities but I need to verify that includes the water/sewer and trash.

Verifiable @0.

When it comes to contractors, trust but verify...
