I had two identical cases, I argued a opposite position on each, and they denied both.

YMMV, in my case, almost identical to yours, I just gave the tenant my phone number and asked her to give my number to the landlord.

I wouldn't even bother shopping it if I didn't have a ratified contract, since I knew the pricing would almost always come back identical.

If they are VERY professional, they will have their processes in writing as verification that it is enforced equally and fairly by their entire staff. 6.

So the wife and I decided to start an LLC for purposes of shielding our identities (although I know it's not perfect) and limiting potential legal action.

On the other side, with a Section 8 tenant, finishing the basement and adding another full bath, we should easily be at $1400.In fact, my wife talked to an agent who is listing an identical unit with a finished basement and bathroom for $1400, and that agent said that they got 10 section 8 applications the first weekend.

:)You can get the new car smell in a spray bottle now....LOL,But, why not buy the house first, then the car, do your lender a favor you might get a better rate on the house, better ratios, no verification, better reserves!

It's becoming clear that when there is resistance to obtaining these documents, including the financial verification, it's probably better to walk away.Thanks again to @Roy N. , among others, for the support on that issue. 

I asked for bank statements for deposit verification and her tax return.

It would be very helpful to see a link to an auction with identical terms.Most of these auctions have no inspection contingency, so you could run into some extremely expensive problems.
