I received a second call from an anonymous caller today, that works in the city.

Who's name is on the mortgage.If you pay cash, where did the cash come from....who's account, who's income.Some people think these deals are anonymous....maybe they are...I've never heard of anyone getting busted...but people do watch...you never know who else is bidding....losers can get pissed off, figure it out and turn you in.To me it's not worth rolling the dice on....you're probably not getting much of a discount and you're trying to skirt the rules...you're messing with the federal government.... every now and then someone comes along and wants to prove a point, some new assistant prosecutor....maybe they are the ones that lost the deal or another similar deal....and then think....hmmm....I could solve this problem of non-owner occupants bidding during the exclusive period.....it would cost you way way way more money in legal fees defending prosecution or paying fines than to me trying to save a few bucks on rent money would be worth.
