For example, appraisal fee is $650 and when I questioned him, he stated "investment properties usually cost more to appraise" which sounded pretty fake to me but I don't know any better as of current.

I am on the other side of the equation with being attached and wanting them to perform as promised and sell the property.

I am sure we both want all votes counted and want fair elections and can agree that fake news and misinformation is dangerous on both sides.Election votes totals change as provisional ballots the day of are tabulated as well as active soldiers ballots are accepted ten days after election day as long as they are postmarked by election day.

Whats been said/promised to the future tenant?

They only talk about their dream vacations and lifestyle and try to make fake promises with everyone.

Create a fake name if you have to.

•Next steps for me: I promised my wife I would press pause until our new baby is born in December WHOOP and until I graduate from night classes (also December). 

They all seem to have promise for reasonable STR income.

He mentioned 5.5 or 5.7 or something like that - it went by quick and I didn't catch it because he promised to get back to me with more detail.  

If they charged a bunch of fees upfront and promise you the world, scam.
