@Joel Di Piazza Hi:) I am not a lender and will not pretend to know much about this kind of things.

I know you know this and the “get a POF from your HML” is just a fuzzy way of trying to Pretend a buyer is a Cash buyer. 

There is no rent control, Job growth and population are growing, and other apts in the area are already asking that.4)Everyone is also pretending that rising equity doesn't exist, which is almost true in many environments, but not the ones I am in.Apart from these things, however, I am passing on the deal anyway as its still not very good.I would like the moderator to take a look at how rude the last two people were in this thread and make a comment that it is unneccesary.

I totally understand people leaving CA for multiple reasons but lets not pretend its imploding without objective facts to back that up. 

Go to Vacasa or Evolve and pretend like you are booking one their places. 

We are not lawyers and don't (or shouldn't) pretend to be. 

I was pretending to be a lot of things in those days, but I was not a sketchy Craigslist guy.

Don't EVER pretend you know the answer or make something up.

Could do a DSCR and pretend it's a rental I'm looking for, but nothing pencils in Denver on that front.

When contacting a former landlord all I am looking for is a reference and to be able to verify they are actually the former landlord and not a friend pretending to be.
