A mentor will break them down, take away their independent identity, everything they think they know, then build them back up into a investor. 

I would however, verify the identity of each adult living in the unit, and get all of them on a new month to month lease.

Some lenders will be identical on rates and fees....then how do you decide who to use if the fees are the same? 

Or he tried to scam me for identity theft?

I’ve been doing a lot of homework on investing and become a landlord via house hacking and before I sit down to the table with the bank should I set up a corporate identity for protection?

I'm in nearly identical boat.  

However, we just bought an identical unit in the same complex for $25k less so we got a great deal, but the bank only let us have a 15 year mortgage on it as an investment so our monthly costs actually come out about the same.

Neighboring identical 4-unit buildings are leasing for $550-$650/mo so there’s a good chance I can slowly raise rents. 25% down conventional financing.

He says that he has a comp that’s identical that sold for $242K recently and would like that.

This means we would only need 13ish properties identical to this to become net worth millionaires IF we only stuck with single-family homes identical to this scenario.
