She also has a game of bushwacking me, she hides and jumps out in attack mode as I pass by or runs to head me off at a better tactical position for another attack.

I see where one possible wannabie referrs to his expierence as something like substantial or in vague terms, certainly a red flag.I see others who hide thier profile, what does that say?

They could earn 50k, and spend 45k.Many stricter LLs around here ask for bank statements.Some applicants balk at the idea, as if they have something to hide.

You can bet that if rates are 7% lenders will be agressive about calling loans due if they can.Also realize that trusts, at best, hide what you've done.

I can't see how he'd be able to hide that as he was working with potential sellers and I'd be hesitant to 'sell' to or work with him. 

It sounds like they're trying to hide something or stop you from digging deep into the condition of the home.

Yeah, it definitely sounds like a way to increase your risk and hide the fact that you're actually just applying more money towards your outstanding debt per paycheck.Seems to be a long scheme that still trips up investors through shoddy math.I'd love to see them try it though.

It's not like you will be hiding the fact... they will know right away.  

Qualified tenants screen landlords as much as landlords screen tenants.I would do the same.If a landlord asked me for an application/fee before I even saw the property, I would assume that:1) The inside of their property was a dump and/or they were hiding something2) It was some scam trying to collect my info or fee.3) They have impossible renting standards just to try to collect fees and deny.4) Did I mention... the inside of their property is likely a dump?

It would hide the wall-o-poop-er-neutral-brown, so it wouldn't be such overkill.
