Show them closing documents and offer up that past client's phone number (if they agree to be a reference). 

Documentation over documentations that never ends3.

Review your Landlord - Tenant Law document as this will define what you can legally place in the lease and what you can ask for in regards to security deposit, last month rent and pet fees. 

After hours of searching documents and pulling credit reports, I couldn't find the address anywhere.

Who knows the mortgage broker could have forged documents to get the owner into the loan in the 1st place.  

Just have to get those offers submitted and contracts tied up before it goes to market next time!!!

If I can find a favorable solution for the downstairs unit, I'd feel much more comfortable submitting an offer.  

Here is the situation:Local bank --  they keep all paper in-houseWill do 80% LTV on 5/1 ARM with 20 year AmortAs long as the purchase price is less than the town assessed value (this was way less) they did their own "Property Evaluation" (no cost)Although I submitted paperwork the process wasn't anything near normal...we really about 1 week + whatever time it took for the title company to complete the search and we were ready to close...had to wait on HUD of course but we were ready

The reality is in the LOI and or the purchase and sale agreement if there is language that says if this documents language conflicts with any other previously signed documents than it shall control that will supersede whatever CA was signed beforehand.So the reality is if the listing broker wants to close and the seller wants to sell they will play nice and agree to the fees.Now the other language for example: Prospective Buyer shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless each Owner and Agent from any claim or demand by any person or entity entitled to receive from Prospective Buyer and/or Registered Broker or for its account any brokerage commission or finder’s fee in connection with this Agreement or any possible transaction,What this usually applies to is someone in a daisy chain coming in an claiming a fee for doing nothing trying to junk up a transaction.

I can just have the selling agent submit my offers anyway.
