get estimates from a few contractors regarding the repair. depending how bad it is then you can request concession from seller. they most likely will only agree to partial of the expense if any. are there any other big ticket items?

if you live in the home it will be primary policy with renters coverage. which is normally cheaper than if it was only tenants living in the home. for the security you'll need to deposit either in a money market fund or an interest-bearing bank account

congrats!!

for verification of employment you normally need authorization from tenant with signature. look at bank statements to see if deposit matches paystub.

i also agree with above, google and find numbers online.
