If there was a big bill, they will want a lease or closing papers to verify that you just leased or bought the property.My point is that some things MAY be the same from the podcast, but some things are state, city or even area specific.

I just know that from experience it gets messy really quick if things aren't clearly defined on paper. 

Worcester, MA City shut off gas without any paper work and wants to condemn it.

Initially I only paid 10%.. but next day I paid full amount, got receipt from sheriff and some paper with stamp on it that says record of sale/interest....To me it seems like this is all clear even at this point deed has not been recorded, I told bank that I paid all the money to sheriff and they'll send the money to bank shortly...Is this all clear now for me to take possession ?

Just got to sign some papers stating it's okay for them to prosecute whoever stole the meter if found.

Show them on paper how much more they could make and how they can spread out any tax liability over the life of the loan balance.The next item will say that you need to contact Real Estate Agent(s) that is experienced in that area and has worked with people that did what you wanna do. 

I have had a tenant in place for almost a year who looked like a bad renter on paper (low credit score, fluctuating income, criminal history, etc) but she turned out to be the dream tenant.

Do they also refill/replenish things (TP, paper towels, etc.)

Signed all the papers, etc... they ask, "who's on the Title?"

Even after asking the rent rolls, financials, T12, etc the most info we could get, could fit in single square of toilet paper.
