Lol.But technically, no.

The problem with pretending to be something your not is ( I know you technically are still a property manager) they will eventually find out and will consider your word and your ethics to have no value which will damage that trust .

@Joshua Penners  If the tenants have signed previous leases and had uninterrupted occupancy of the property and continue to pay rent per the terms of the previous lease and their actions are consistent with the previous lease terms (for instance you have a $50 late fee in a previous  ease and they pay that now even though technically there is no new signed lease) then just about any court will deem them to still be subject to the terms of the lease signed or not .

If the lien has been recorded, it will be public record.If the HOA has a property manager, they *might* divulge the back amounts, but technically they aren't supposed to discuss an account with anybody but the homeowner.So if it's not filed, you may not get to find out.

@Alexander Felice Yeah I completely understand your points I didn't realize you were strictly talking about SFH's since you can technically scale as big as you you'd like by applying the same overall BRRRR strategy to MFR's, Apartments, etc.

That way you aren’t technically moving twice, just packing and unpacking once.  

The statement is technically correct; however, it is by no means guaranteed especially in areas that love their ag.  

Maybe you find an area like that, one that you could technically drive to, but it have it managed just to put your mind at ease on this first deal. 

The numbers-1300sq ft bought 13 years ago for 127k , house hacked the first 5 years with buddies so technically didn't pay a note till married 7 years ago. 

Ask her to get an estimate and then offer to pay half of that, explaining that technically you aren’t responsible to pay anything but are just trying to be neighborly.
