That makes me think they are trying to pretend they are actually going to live there but are going to end up renting the whole place out under your nose.  

Or can you just "leave it empty" (aka, not rent it out), and kind of "pretend" you live there, but not physically actually live there. 

Again, I'm not pretending to be an expert so I'm not sure if that's how all of the tax and/or sheriff sales are or if it's just a local thing. 

If she pretends not to understand, divorce her and marry a woman with brains like @Theresa Harris.

It came with a storage unit building, but it is currently being rented out by a squatter pretending he owns it. 

As you are required to take it or the irs will just pretend you did anyway. 

Jesus's best friend pretended he didn't know him.

One good way to determine rents is to call Craiglists listings or For Rent sign listings for similar houses and to try to negotiate a rental price pretending like you are trying to rent.

(Naturally, I assume you only touch the money for further asset purchase or development).I am not a lawyer or CPA, but if I look at your example and pretend you would be able to do the exact same deal again, you could buy #2 BRRR and pay the $50K cash from your property#1 HELOC.

I know of one wholesaler with "We pay cash for houses" signs, that was fined over $37,000 over the course of 3 months.... and yes, states and counties have gotten very good at tracking you down from phone numbers, email addresses and even going as far a pretending to be a home seller to meet with you to hand deliver a fine for illegal signs.Make sure you pick up each and every sign.
