The Anti flipping rules are set to prevent fraud.

Hi Ron,I'm not knocking the program by any means, only commenting about knowingly accepting a tenant that is committing fraud. 

Hello everyone,We are doing a refi on 4 identical triplexes.

Cleveland itself is very similar to a lot of the other rust belt "turnkey" markets but that familiarity usually pushes them over the top to choose this location.I am sure there are many varying opinions on the topic but If we were to take five "turnkey" markets and just assume they are all identical in the type of return one could I achieve I see tremendous value in choosing the one of the five you have previously lived in. 

We have almost identical goals, although Raleigh is my market and I'm already a few properties in (just got an offer accepted today actually!).

If the tenant induced the landlord to sign a contract under false pretenses, that's fraud at worst.

I'm not advocating for, or insinuating fraud.

@Omer Husain , just ran across this article in one of my feeds - https://www.recode.net/2018/4/24/17275202/bitcoin-scam-cryptocurrency-mining-pump-dump-fraud-ico-valueGreat minds think alike!

straw buyers very illegal FBI investigate these type of frauds 

They've  just seen all kinds of fraud and cover their basis There is nothing personal: take it or leave it.
