Telling sellers you're going to move into their house?

A slimy trend we're noticing in Columbus, OH. I'd imagine it happens elsewhere. 

Investors telling home owners that they plan to move into the house if they buy it.

Are you using it?

Yes, people are doing that elsewhere as well. The one time I used it, I actually did move into the house a couple months after buying it. 

I think this is a strong case for one of my favorite quotes... 


"How you make your money is more important than how much money you make."
 

You can be seen as a slimy agent...or not. 

You can make a killing off of a lie...or not. 

You can beat other investors to that house...or not. 

It's all your choice in how you operate.
