If a tenant 'disappears', it's usually because of financial issues and that they have already been served disconnect notices by the utility company and once power and heat get turned off, they figure that the game is over and move out, leaving a mess and broken pipes behind (especially in the freezing winter temps).  

Do you have a link @Michael Tempel?  I

They tend to love new buyers that are not as experienced because they can manipulate them into believing things are a certain way to pay a certain price for a property.Sellers know when I go into a deal with my clients that we are fair but will not take BS from a seller or listen to excuses from a listing broker.

Seems too many are clinging to the VA loan program and trying to manipulate it for an investment program, when there are other up and coming mortgage options that could be a better choice for a lot of the situations2.

He can’t manipulate the ripoff report 

Examples: New Lally columns and footings in the basement to replace temp. columns, 48 sheets of blue board and plaster in rooms that didn’t need any mechanical work but had bad horse hair plaster.  

Instead of "owner-occupied multi-family investor" (OOMFI) since this is also used with SFHs and condos how about we call it "Mortgage Regulation Manipulation Investor" (MRMI). 

@Christian WathneB Neighborhood maintenance is still done, assuming they have been solid tenants and no issues, your lease holds them liable, temps above freezing and furnace at 45, they pay all utilities.

I have an inspection coming up tomorrow!!! and need the utilities on.  The gov representative confirmed no utility gets turned on and is OOO today/tomorrow for questions.  Can I own this task myself?

And I think @Robert Adams is being misunderstood here, but my issue and I think the bigger issue is the manipulation to the homeowner of theirproperty value.
