The most important thing you can do1)Be yourself, Don't pretend t be more experienced than you are.

@John Rooster umm, yes it is a crime to buy a HUD home as an investor pretending to be an owner occupant.

I would pretend I don't have the money and learn to make it in this business on 5k or less. 

Ask yourself your dumbest question and answer it with your best answer now that we pretend to know better. 

I've heard of people pulling crazy stunts like pretending to move out (so you cancel the process), and then sneaking back in.

They were still succeeding and I was stubbornly hanging around trying to pretend like Nashville could still work as a rental market.

But, I researched the area, talked to people, pretended I was a renter, and noticed how difficult it was to find a nice place at a reasonable price.

After review I realized you did send me a message about 8 months ago asking me to join your site as a "freelance agent", which was mutually declined.That being said: Pretend a licensed brake mechanic just "advises" a person to do their neighbors brakes and stands their making suggestions on how to tighten the pads and the thickness of the rotors.

Pretending I'm something else sounds more complicated and I don't see much advantage.   

Now pretend something comes up in the future and you have to evict the tenant.
