An inspection report should reveal any issues.The only thing I would caution about (aside from inspection report) is the insurance. 

Our Listing: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/2704-Brown-Rd-Ferndale-WA...PS: Even light sleuthing will reveal I’m using a screen name on BiggerPockets.

The confusing part to me is that the MLS listings will provide the 1) Gross Annual Income 2) Insurance Expense 3) Gross Annual Expenses, however a quick division exercises reveals that #3 Gross Annual Expenses are 100% of the time less than 30% of #1 Gross Annual Income.

They have an "asking" price, and I used the NOI as revealed in the tax returns to determine what the cap rate is (as the seller sees it at least).

T-shirt, shorts, and a ball cap with some runners or flip flops on.They'll reveal their biases in their words.

But the more I read and reserch the more this business starts to reveal.

I think the main reason is he got burnt with some investors/ex-employees in the past, and is very mindful on what he reveals.

To help alleviate this concern, make sure you have a True preapproval-having submitted 2 years of tax returns, last two bank statements, all debts revealed, etc-and have your lender specify that these have been specifically reviewed.

I removed their picture and name from the message for the sake of not revealing their identity.  

@Andrew Davis one day my true powers will reveal themselves :P
