However, while this thread is an opportunity to exercise our brains, we must start with the premise that Cardone knows something, as is evident by his trading in and out of a very significant portfolio over the years...Now - when it comes to RE, he may not be as hungry as us, or as in touch.

Or maybe there is something I overlooked, like evidence of a divorce, which then triggers a requirement to provide a divorce decree, which could indicate you owe alimony every month, which trashes your DTI and causes your loan to be denied.Basically it is a check against me overlooking something like that, and gets it in front of the actual decision making human underwriter for a thumbs up with conditions, or (very unlikely) a thumbs down.For the record the last time I preapproved someone and the deal didn't close for creditworthiness reasons was about a year ago, and it was because the SSN check came back revealing that the person was an illegal immigrant using a dead person's SSN.

The neighbors liked to litter a lot, but I saw no evidence of drug abuse.   

The assumption of growing wages is also a narrative to which there is no direct evidence of such a thing occurring because of tax cuts.

Granted, this is anecdotal evidence though.

It makes their job easier, lets them know what valuation you're targeting, and supplies them with supporting evidence. 

What evidence do you have that the demand exists?

The actual end table located next to a bed did catch on fire and there is clear evidence that is is destroyed.

Hope this helps you in some way, Robin.I was called in an advisory role after my friend was promised essentially a 300% annualized return and it became evident that he was being scammed.
