It is extremely easy to unintentionally give information that adds an entirely new level of scrutiny to a loan when you were only attempting to be helpful by telling your lender how responsible you are and/or how wonderful the home is that they are writing a loan for. 

My wife and I recently closed on our first home, and it was an unintentional live-in flip.

It's usually unintentional.

The past couple of years I've had issues filing my taxes (un-intentionally), more specifically pertaining to my rental properties (5).

It was a dive and turned into an unintentional live in flip over 3 years.  

Purchase price: $50,000 Cash invested: $4,000 Sale price: $85,000 Unintentional fix and flip, got my wheels turning for RE investing.

However, once I started reading through all the posts and articles I quickly became extremely overwhelmed by the amount of information that I didn’t know, but thought I knew so I ended up unintentionally talking myself out of moving forward any farther.

By not enforcing the shoveling rule, you may unintentionally be waiving your right to enforce that lease clause.
