(For instance, almost no one fills out the application 100%.)

Even just filling out the form can do something if you don’t do anything else.

However, no CPA who values their E&O insurance is going to help you fill out your TurboTax interview.This is the exact reason why professionals should be consulting with a qualified CPA or EA for their tax filing needs.  

During the time I was there I was able to talk to a neighbor who filled me in on the property history.

But the MLP ETFs do not require you to fill out a K1.

I got rid of my problem tenants and I got my competition filled with non paying renters. 

There is no collusion - that’s a ridiculous statement by people who just don’t understand all the work agents do to get a transaction done correctly and think it’s nothing more than filling out a few forms and calling it a day.

@Dominick Austria could you fill me in on what underpayment penalties to expect?

If they want another person living there, that person can fill out an application like everyone else. 

With s/t rentals, the work may not be too extensive up front, but it is a very demanding business as you either do all the work yourself: filling out the units, cleaning, maintenance, etc. or hire a team to do it all for you, which will of course leave a lower bottom line for you, but it is the only way to scale.
