It sounds like a badly or attempted fraudulent sale by A as obviously he didn't go through a title company or a closing agent as they would have filed docs.

If the "something done under the business name" has already transpired, meaning something bad happened (like there is a current suit or claim) that already happened, then what you describe could be considered a fraudulent transfer in my state.

So the mortgage, taxes/insurance, and all general costs of operations are covered entirely by the renters, PLUS I typically add about $50 a month to the principal payment of each mortgage, which leaves me with $4300 in passive income.In my opinion, inflation rates are extremely understated, please see these two articles that drive the point home:http://www.businessinsider.com/if-people-knew-the-...https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-05-09/devonshi...Essentially, in times when the dollar is depreciating rapidly, in our situation due to excessive years of "easy money" and quantitative easing by the Fed, low fixed-rate debt is the best tool to combat inflation.

My husband is a combat veteran, a former building contractor, and currently is in management in an oil company.

Most realtors know all about the fraudulent POF you can print off the internet.

I asked why I should believe that was any more likely than the opposite scenario; that they decided to submit a falsified tax return with higher income in order to fraudulently entice a lender to make a loan.  

Meaning that you are walking into the deal with negative equity.To combat this downside, you need to focus solely on the cashflow.

My gut said this is a waste of time and a bit fraudulent beforehand.
