I assume you have that much to ask these kinds of questions.

What kind of "documentation showing that I would be employed for at least the next year" did you provide?

That's a bit like asking "what kind of car is a good car to buy"I suggest you decide what kind of property and what kind of tenants you want to market to first.

I have been looking at 2-4 unit multifamily properties (3b/1.5b) in the Southington, CT area I did a site visit with my handyman.Property is in good shape new roof and deck, except for aluminum wiring and cosmetic items.This market has been very competitive the last year and decent properties don't stay on the market too long. 

I pay the bank from my pocket, then I send the purchaser the same kind of notices you are getting from the bank. 

Already visited unit, looks good in and out.

I asked the tenant (via email) if the dog belongs to her parents who were in town visiting.

Hello everyone,I had visited a property couple of days ago in the Bronx, NYC and noticed that the building in the back has windows in every floor that have a clear view of the backyard of the house.

Most have some kind of public access computer once inside.

This will require some further investigating and also visiting some smaller local banks right to your point @Scott Graham.
