I dont see what the hype is all about... in all my accredited investments I’ve never once been asked for any type of ‘proof’ that I qualify.  

Most brands also have a tamper proof tab you can activate when you install it that makes it hard to remove unless you know exactly how to do it.

I agree with the life proof floating floor. thats what I have used so far. but i doubt you can go wrong with the glue down either. they are both superior to laminate 

Yup, you dodged a bullet on this one.

You will be required to show a proof of funds if you do decide to make an offer otherwise your offer will be rejected.

I'd definitely ask for seller's bank statements or proof of payment by tenants.

Though my gut tells me that we are approaching phase 3 / 4 of the market cycle, there is no glass ball. 

After they have their moment you'll be 119k (minus costs) richer and you can talk crap about them later over a glass of wine.

That's really going to be a waste of your time.What I do is ask for 6 months of Bank Statements where the rent was paid so I can see if the rent was paid on time.Basically, if they can't give me proof they paid their rent on time, I go on to the next candidate.If you even get a few checks, you can see who got paid if you really want to call the current landlord.However, doing the employment, tenant credit, eviction and background checks along with having them providing Bank Statements corroborates their story of being good, prompt paying tenants.BTW, I'm a NYC Broker/Landlord.... it is REALLY important I don't put in a bad tenant.

I ended up with one who asked for a copy of my pre approval letter or proof of any funds.
