That landlords can absorb the loss... 

Douglas,It sounds like, at the time of loss, this property was vacant.

Checks should start arriving by tomorrow.One request for deferment, will only consider with (proof of employment loss, savings,IRA,checking statements)

Is it normal for the seller of a multi-family property (5 units) to ask me, an investor inquiring about their property, for a Proof of Funds or Pre-approval letter when I am just asking questions like to see the rent roll, losses and profits for the last 3 years and other relevant info to do my due diligence? 

Account Closed ROI is your Return On Interest, so it tells you how well your money is performing, or more specifically, measures the gain or loss generated on an investment relative to the amount of money invested.

People tend to be a little more tight-lipped on their losses. 

Usually you have to have a job but if you have a savings account that is good, food credit, low/no debt and maybe a co-signed you could be golden.

Food was good.   

seeing how we probably wont go to court until June,  he will owe $9900 in past due rent NOT including late fees. is there a way to collect or report him to the credit agency or do we just take our lumps and call it a loss? 

The key is to ensure that you have calculated some vacancy loss.
