One of the utilities, South West Gas, based in CA, gave me a hard time putting the account into my own name. after several calls, faxing the court-stamped eviction order, verifying my deed through the County, etc,  the operator finally agreed and started to backdate the account change to the beginning of the process!

Verifying last 2 years of rental history very important!

The beauty of this is that intermediaries who work with me know that I make “fair” offers based on VERIFIABLE facts, that I follow through with completed deals unless important information was with held or information provided was false, and that there’s absolutely no value in presenting deals to me where the seller/borrower/investor is unrealistic, naive, or otherwise wanting to “test” the market.  

The underwriter will just want to verify that you won't live in the property you are planning to purchase.

BUT always trust and verify.

Physically verify everything.

@Kevin Collins I apologize; my response came out a little rough around the edges and I assume that you certainly have done your homework prior too.... but that is a bit of my point... nothing will change when you go and work with a realtor and find investment properties yourself... figuring out what the property is worth IS PART OF THE ANALYSIS (if that's important to you) and because of this it is no different than other than you should now be verifying what the realtor will tell you it's worth as opposed to what the turnkey is telling you. 

Aloha @Daniel Kam - most of Kakaako has a 180 day rental minimum, so if you haven't checked with your building association, I recommend you verify what the minimum rental period is for your building.If you are allowed to rent for less than 180 days, you will then need to apply for a GET license, and well as TAT/OTAT and pay the appropriate taxes on a regular basis.  

Their system will kick out info, so be careful and verify what you see on there.
