Unlikely you will get caught but mortgage fraud is a federal offense.

The numbers you shared aren't great from a cash flow standpoint (no offense) and I think if your plan is to unlock the equity you have by selling, pay off debts, and buy a multi to house hack, that would be a better long term approach then hanging on to the townhouse.

I'm doing it, I just take offense to the comments suggesting that merely by asking, I'm some sort of slumlord.

No offense, but stop finding other **** to do and just go figure out how to make some money.

If this works for you great, but the black guys I have seen in this business who are "Tearing it up" work heavily on the offense (earning side) vs the CYA side...

There is NOTHING bad or offensive to be proven wrong.

Their fees are offensive.

I am a woman if my word, but this was offensive and  ridiculous because we hadn't  discussed details. so, at first I was thinking no way I sign this one paragraph agreement with so many holes, but my other option knew was to fight for another month or two (I had called local mediation and they had said it would be 3 weeks before they could meet with us.) this paragraph guaranteed they'd be out by the 20th, and would surrender their deposit...I signed it and they are moving right now. not sure if I did the right thing, but sometimes you gotta compromise some security, and take a chance like this, and I am so glad I did. lesson learned was always assume anyone can turn into a lunatic, so do your paperwork, and keep immaculant records.

Court date set for 2/11.No offense, but you are being naive.

(No offense, man.)
