Care to share which platform this was to warn us?

Would the seller (bank) even care where the money comes from?

Here's a link to some suggestions for the approach that can be effective.https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/10944/74462-you-want-to-buy-their-home-but-how-do-you-get-the-attention-of-senio 

Here's some California Fair Housing and Service Animals guidance.Be very careful about where you get your advice, particularly since you live in California.

Just have to be very careful.

We have certain guidelines of what meets our criteria for a STR (something like an Airbnb), and because I care more about location and the right TYPE of property, my "deal" looks different then buying at 70% of value. 

So all of the people under them are each showing 0 and the lister is showing 20.So if someone made that claim (and I cared enough to check it) I would ask them for a list of MLS numbers to verify.

Some don't care and will let you refinance immediately. 

There's also doing REST calls with Powershell and storing all of that data in object and then scripting out what you want to do.The third option which a colleague brought to my attention was that this actually may be a job best suited for nodeJS since you can interact with all of that data natively since it is Javascript.

I just want to get a feel for the different routes one can take in real estate (which I know there’s many) and that one in particular got my attention, unfortunately I didn’t pay too much attention to the guest’s name or which episode he was on.
