The worst part is that it's usually way too easy to get your license, and the consequences for these sleazy agents are usually non-existent or not harsh enough. 

However, before deciding on a DSCR loan, it’s important to analyze your existing first mortgages—including their rates and the current loan-to-value (LTV).

With existing tenants, you DO KNOW THEM!

Look up ideal existing performing properties, your "hero's" as it were, find out who own's it, and reach out to them. 

However, I don't think they have resources to investigate these sorts of things and that policies exist not to prosecute them because they are likely small claims (under $10k in my state) so that the aggrieved person can seek a remedy themselves in civil court.

Unit 2 - long-term rental (this will usually be with an existing tenant since you already have that running well or in a larger unit that might net the highest rent as a long-term)3.

Opportunities still exist here.

One of my original mentors was PRO lease option on the purchase side, however I never felt  peace about it.I was always concerned what if something happened to the original seller and they did not cooperate when it came time to exercise the option. 

Hello, similar to Steve and Sean, I have an existing Stessa account that I would like to link to.

He didn't even do an assumption here...with an assumption the lender knows the property is being conveyed and the new buyer is assuming the existing mortgage which is a lot less risky for both the buyer and the seller.
