There's no reason to "list" a property for sale, if it's already pending, except if you're trying to pretend that you tried to "market" the property.

I’m not saying you should post it publicly for everyone to see or anything, but if you have business dealings under your own name I don’t see any benefit to pretending your address is secret.  

Now lets pretend there is no appreciation for the next ten years and that rent will not go up over the next ten years and you only rent it to tenants instead of doing a rent-to-own strategy to really rake in the big bucks.With $30,000 you would increase your yearly income by $23,700... is that enough for you or your wife to go part time?

In a nutshell, tax laws let us pretend that a house will be worthless in 27.5 years.  

I thought the min bid had to be what was due.Lets pretend this house is in an area you like and you think you could rent or flip it. 

You can pretend that your expenses are 10% of gross rents if you like.

Building on what Jon said, we're lucky if we buy one house a year, so we don't write a lot of checks to contractors and pretend our time is better spent "finding deals".

In a pretend world and I could finance the 240k at 100% over 30 years at 7% interest my payment would be 1600 a month or $19,200 a year for debt service.

I tried contacting the guy pretending to be a renter but didn't get a response.I pulled the ad from Zillow.

But if FHA is going to compound their lack of faith in borrowers on top of these high lending standards, I'd appreciate it if mortgage brokers out there would stop pretending like we're all in this together
