Would it simply be a matter of them re-filing a tenant application?

It means nothing.Pay $5,000 to "Open the Door" and you have bought a black box of whatever the seller wants to provide (a paper application handed to you from a lender, a website address, etc...)When buying something like this and "Sales Fluff" is introduced into the conversation (vs. hard facts such as, a line of credit will be set up for $X 90 days after doing Y with Z lender, etc...) there is unusually a reason for the "Sales fluff".Ask for a copy of the contract and take the time to read it to see what you would actually get for your $5,000, and if the contract has "Sales fluff" in it--Buyer Beware.If there is no contract, or they balk at giving you an opportunity to read it (pressure you into signing now), it might not be such a good deal for you.And Sales fluff may be a red flag about other parts of the "Opportunity" also.Good Luck!
