If you were another broker, I'd advise against this but since you're one of the prospective buyers that saw the house, I don't see an issue with that.

@William C, what did you end up doing to show your home to prospective tenants?

Check out these books to get started:The HyperLocal HyperFast Real Estate Agent by Daniel James Lesniak - This is an excellent road map to a successful career in real estate.The Millionaire Real Estate Agent by Gary Keller with Dave Jenks and Jay Papasan - Pretty much the Bible for real estate agents.Mindset: The New Psychology of Success (Carol Dweck) - This book will get you into a growth mindset.Fanatical Prospecting: The Ultimate Guide to Opening Sales Conversations and Filling the Pipeline by Leveraging Social Selling, Telephone, Email, Text, and Cold Calling (Jeb Blount) - Prospect, prospect, prospect!

So this prospect tenant submitted his 2 years of tax and bank statement and the number checks out.

Plus any repairs required to gain access to the plumbing.if the numbers are good to great this would not deter me one bit BUT I would absolutely try my best to get the seller to cover this or at least split it. 

Make sure to prospect and always have the pipeline full.

Makes it easy for them and helps reduce the vacancy on my end.Pre-covid, I'd probably make them a deal to help show the house to prospective renters to reduce their fee, but nowadays, that gets a lot more complicated.

I've been having issues with bigger pockets changing the formatting so I appoligize if it is hard to read:I can give you some general info on insuring the property:Here are some things to lookout for from an Insurance prospective:1.Any in-ground tanks (active or inactive)2.Any Knob & Tube or Aluminum Wiring3.If built before 1978, does the building have Lead Safe certifications4.Any wood stoves or secondary heating units.

Definitely learned that due diligence is important when seeking a real estate agent and to research the numbers for prospective rents.

Prospects I've seen might need new roofs, floors, siding/paint, maybe plumbing and electrical.
