I had a potential tenant that looked really good on paper and his references all checked out but I came to find a bunch of discrepancies after running the $40 Check.

Appraisals are often not worth the paper they are written on and you signed the contract not caring what the appraisal came out as anyways.

I would print my own brochures and do about 100 at a time on brochure paper and then go to Staples or Office Max and use their paper cutter for a nice cut in half.

The numbers make sense on paper there and hoping it pans out.

The seller likely stands to lose much more than you do if you walk... make em fix it, but don't think for one second a smoker is going to "stop" smoking no matter what a piece of paper says.

We make all residents who have an ESA provide us with the paper work.

Depending on where you are sometimes cartels will do things like this to have a minimal paper trail especially if you are self managing.
