Agree, I use Zillow and craigslist and also calling around to the larger complexes and pretending I'm a perspective renter.

We have other PM's calling us pretending to be owners thinking we don't know, so they can figure out what rents should be.

wish I was that far into the game....it's a slippery slope so I m taking it slow making sure As best I can I m surrounded w the best and smartest people.. getting to no the pretenders from the honest players.

Scammers and pretenders get called out and exposed quickly which keeps them out of our space.

If this had happened on other forums Admins would pretend nothing happened and sweep it under the rug.

No guarantees and...even more crazy...although they ask a TON of questions about my rental unit, they ask NOTHING about the type of tenant I want.So I pretend to be a tenant. 

They would essentially pretend I was paying $800 per month instead of 0 which severely limited what I could borrow.I managed to get my loans deferred by getting myself back into school (online classes), but now that they are deferred, my mortgage broker is telling me that the rules of fha are about to change and that they'll have to use the percentage again which brings me back to square one. 

I'm not going to pretend to turn class c into class b units.  

This can certainly be done, but pretending that it doesn't eat into your lifestyle or utility is ridiculous to me.  

@Ben Rutkevitz has suggested a good strategy as well that not many think of, pretend you are going to rent, google homes/apartments for rent and use your criteria (#Bd, #Ba) and see what you come up with.
