Underwriters get really suspicious if the "find" something they think you're trying to hide.

Long story short I get suspicious, I call the city to confirm if permits had ever been pulled, and not a single permit even has an application in process!!!  

It is easy for me to create a goal in my mind and then never share it with anyone so that I never have to answer for it.In the recent podcast however, Ryan talked about how when he hears a someone say a specific number with regards to their goals (such as selling a certain number of books) he gets suspicious that the goal is for ego or some sort of comparison against someone else and in his opinion that is dangerous.Brandon then shared about a study that he had recently read that indicated that when people share their goals the chance of achieving that goal is actually less than if they keep that goal a secret stating that it's like their brain already won so they don't work as hard.I would like to find out from other BiggerPockets members what their experience about goal setting has been.

I am always suspicious of listings that have this kind of description.

I'm very suspicious of investing in condo buildings.

I called and text them about another matter, but I received a text stating that they were tending to a family illness.After they told me about the family illness, I became suspicious. 

Hi Account Closed - I'm suspicious about the low OpEx too, but at the same time there's that little voice in my head that keeps saying "What if...."
