.- Validates identity, you can match name to the photo ID they provided.

How long are pre-approvals typically valid for?

Older units will use more resources (gas/electric/water), which is a cost only you will incur.

-Roof ( find out when the roof was placed, the condition) - Electric/ Gas ( find out metering situation) if they are not separately metered that will cut into the cash flow. - Windows( for multi-unit properties if there are a lot of windows that need to be replaced this can costly.) - Overall repairs needed In conclusion, research the area and find a good property manager or inspector and make sure they look more into the things above and anything you know of that is a high-cost repair! 

Closing guy said that the language in the main contract that referenced the assign-ability was ambiguous but he felt that the take away was the assignment wasn't valid.

@Mike Villela, All of your post-sale options are valid and good to pursue. 

While I think you make a valid point @Thomas S. it seems to me the rents being low allows for a potential upside. 

Not that it may not be valid, it's just something that I'd never heard of before.
