Analyzing Property - requesting documentation
When analyzing a multi-family or apartment is it appropriate and reasonable to ask for documentation on the leasing history and annual/monthly utility cost that is covered by the owner?
Thanks in advance!

Absolutely. Collecting and projecting accurate income and expense info is crucial to underwriting/analyzing a deal.
Though I would add that you can't always rely 100% on the rosy version provided by the seller. Do your own digging...trust but verify.
