Are you sure that that department of human rights really called you ... and it wasn't just that tenant or friend who called, pretending to be that department to scam you out of 1 months rent?

We don't prioritize these faux deals over real deals, of course, so it takes two weeks from when my little "I need this and that paperwork" list is fully 100% complete without any omissions.They can still house hunt using standard contingencies during that period, naturally.I generally don't bring it up unless it's requested (typically by the realtor) because people get pissed about the additional paperwork I ask for that includes why this or that credit inquiry 4 months ago happened, etc.A concern, and something I've noticed come up more and more frequently lately, is lenders pretending it only takes 3 days to get through that 123 Main St underwrite and letting folks go in with no loan contingency because they THINK that they are credit/income/asset approved and have been lied to.

Can I pretend that I am moving into that unit and ask him to leave?

Or you can market to them saying that you're looking for good homes to buy that match a certain description (insert a description of their house) and give them the grace of pretending like it's divine timing.

I'm going to need to extend until I am satisfied about this thing that you either didn't know about, or pretended not to know about."

Any one with any experience will immediately spot that you are new so don't try to pretend to be something you are not.

Now, I won't pretend to be any kind of Donald Trump rival.  

If that new property is only cash-flow positive because you're pretending that 25% down was "free money," then in reality it is NOT cash-flow positive.
