I admittedly have a bias against condos for the following reasons:1) HOAs - both a lack of control over fees and assessments, as well as potential regulation changes2) they don’t appreciate as much3) you have to work a lot harder to differentiate yourself from your neighbors. 

Quote from @Gary Bonds: Any best practices when attempting to secure business funding from a bank, in the form of a loan or credit?

From our experience best practice has always been to have exterior cameras as well as smart locks.

What limits home-buying beyond inventory, rates, and prices are the lending practices now.

Also, any best practices for room rentals that you recommend for screening and keeping tenants.

We already signed the purchase agreement several months ago...it has been on hold while they mitigated a pest control issue that has taken 2 months.If it's that important, make it part of your purchase agreement.

The sellers have not been responsive when asked to provide that information, which is why I was wondering if it's a typical practice prior to submitting an offer. 

Anyone have practical experience with this that we can discuss further?

It can also be probably fight in court if this is a monopolistic practice if you think about it but who will want to fight it :D.
