The way to get access is typically reaching out to the sponsor and getting the PPM and the documents you need to do a thorough review.

Only a few simple documents are required, including a valid passport, birth certificate, and proof of address.

Would love to hear your thoughts on this.https://finance.yahoo.com/news/blocked-wall-street-homebuyer...

Should i ask the downstairs tenant for the footage to have as proof to have and document for anything in the future? 

the good news is that you're in the middle of a "masters" level education at this point.

A buyer agreement is the legal document that provides the agent with the assurance that he/she will get paid if they work with you to complete a real estate transaction.

Once pre-approved, gather your financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, and bank statements.

Their rates are good but boy, they looked at my financials and ask some funny questions such as asking for proof that I could withdraw funds from my SEP IRA account, and that I need to provide documentation to verify that  this employer sponsored retirement account allows for funds to be withdrawn, or if withdrawals could only be made in connection with the borrowers employment termination, retirement or death etc. everyday they sent me something new to answer.

Airbnb has never penalized bookings when the property is sold in my experience, just to provide documentation it was sold.  

If they say "No" then ask them to support that with documentation to avoid a boiler plate response.
