I'm not ready to buy, but I am pretending that I am to gain some understanding on how to figure out what is a good deal and what is a bad deal.I came across several listings with Multiple unit buildings with a line in the description, "Gross Rent Multiplier".  

Please dont pretend....everything your diatribe just tried to pretend. 

I'm not a lawyer nor do I pretend to know enough about the law.

People pretending to be super religious hoping to influence your decisions tend to be the biggest sleazebags I've come across as a landlord..

As Charlie MacPherson said, that requires a license.There are ways to wholesale but if it's on market, there isn't really a lot of value you have above / beyond the MLS / Zillow, etc.Now when you do / if you get a license, you can ask a listing agent if you can advertise it to attract buyers but they will probably say they prefer you don't pretend it's your listing :)

The only other way to do this that I know if is to pretend like you are inquiring about an Airbnb to stay in.

., pretend you are paying rent to yourself and calculate it based on that. 

You pretend like you are accounting for things you know are important like vacancy, insurance, and capex, but your calculations are not adding up.

Yes, not everything is racism GRANTED, and I hate to pull the race card myself, but lets not pretend it doesn't exist, and that's why its smart to protect ourselves from it as much as possible. 

Unfortunately, there are unscrupulous people out there that try and get by the system and pretend to know what they are doing, steal escrow funds and are not under the guidance and rules/laws of the RE Commissions.
