That's why I went to the city to verify with a zoning expert who told me it is residential.

But first verify his loan balance and any other liens, judgments, back taxes, etc. that may also be owed.

Then verify that it actually happened.

You should be able to get a BPO for $65 or so that will include exterior pictures and such so you can at least verify the property is in reasonable condition.

You want to verify you have a good chance of loan approval and the income numbers and expenses of the property are correct before spending all this money on other items (site inspections, legal, etc.)The key for a seller or listing broker would be getting the buyer vetted for loan assumption before going into all of these other details that take up a bunch of time and energy.

Or they see something on our first two info pages they don't like, like that we really do verify the info.

So you are saying basically once you reach the 2 yr mark of being a landlord(verified by tax returns)You can use a signed lease on your most recent property and they will take gross rentX.75 - debt service and do you another?

I also need to verify utilities that are leinable have been paid.

"Trust, but verify!"

Verify with the oil, water, sewer, garbage collection, and electric companies.
