How do you verify rent roll?

[Brian Plajer]

Hello,

When reviewing a multifamily property and the current rent is listed how do you verify that the current tenants are actually paying their rent? Anyone can create a spreadsheet. I often hear about the rent roll but how do know its legit and is there any recourse if it turns out to be fake

@Brian Plajer for starters you can compare it to a bank statement. Do several months. You can also use Estoppel Certs.
