Any company that is telling you these freshly rehabbed houses with good tenants in place also has 25% of equity in it is lying.

I'all look at spec if I lying those details.Additionally, while I would love to invest in commercial multifamily properties, I imagined it would be more difficult to acquire financing, especially for me, since the initial investment would probably have to be about 25% as   down payment with less time to pay off.  

I do not think anyone should be surprised that your tenant lied about the dog.

I have had mostly good tenants, but would be lying if I told you all were good.  

They are distorted at best.So contrary to your lies and attempts to defame us on Bigger Pockets above “NO” we have never been the subject of an American Greed episode or any type of illegal activity or regulatory action against us.

The reason is if they are bad tenants their current landlord will likely lie and say they're great to get rid of them.

The answer lies somewhere in between  You have to know enough to make the best decisions, know when and how to make adjustments when things don't go as planned, but you will never know everything.I've been doing this since I was in High School, and I learn something new everyday that helps, or will help me down the road.

That tax liens are guaranteed is a flat out lie by people promoting tax liens.

This situation makes me think how so many people believed the lie the US govt told people that their home is their biggest asset Well ah yes if you want to sell and live in a lower priced house. 

They said; don't lie, they will find out.
