I confronted him and said he was lying.

I appreciate all of the different perspectives and believe that opportunity lies somewhere between data and dreams.

The only lies you are allowed to tell in a budget are those that are too expensive.

The math never lies. 

As for the hype you’ll find by the gurus on YouTube and other social media, even if they were able to conclude a couple of these deals (which is not certain, there’s a lot of lying out there), the fact that someone with 20 years of full time real estate experience can pull off 2 spectacular deals in a 20 year period is no way indicative of an inexperienced person being able to do the same in anything like a near term time frame . 

If I go looking for my own information, I usually just bump up against a bunch of people or companies that lie to me to rip me off.

Wife is shocked and mad that she was lied to, that this "deal" was done years ago behind her back and the supposed property manager has allowed the house to severely deteriorate to less than half its value.So now what does wife do when she can't afford to hire a lawyer to straighten out the mess? 

As with anything, numbers don't lie.  

Wake up from the lie!

I'll never know if they were lying or just uninformed of their credit but I believe they were trying to get one over me which is why I pass but I wish them well.
