Realtors owe a duty and loyalty to thier clients or customers, it's only ethical conduct for those being assisted to show thier respect.

The lender will use this data to conduct an analysis of how much money needs to be stashed in an account to replace the stuff that the lender thinks that you will have to replace during the life of the loan.

They tend to only stay about 10 months at a time, leaving you regular turnover (I always require a parental co signer to add accountability for both the rent as well as general conduct).

Do you have an inspection clause with the seller, if not will the seller allow you to conduct an inspection?

You don't conduct business without a broker and every listing agreement you sign it's your broker agreement with your client, not your own agreement.

Obviously conduct as much research and due-diligence prior to contracting and make sure the property cash flows at the very least.

However, nothing takes the place of conducting  bi-annual inspections of the interior of the units and bi-weekly site visits to check for any external maintenance issues.

Even if they dont have a recent phase I, make sure you conduct your own. 

In RE, it's the subject of the transaction.If there is a shortage of any of those functions, then more of other aspects must be employed.I have no cash, so it takes more labor and entrepreneurship or management, substitute any of those to arrive at a successful conclusion.Credit is not a necessary function, but it sure helps in real estate and finance.Land is always present, you conduct your business someplace and in RE, it's the subject of the deal.You will need to provide labor and management if you have no capital.We can assume you know how to work.That leaves management, that requires an education!

For my market, I've never seen them conduct foreclosure auctions i.e. like auction.com does.But if worried why not just call them up and ask?
