@Jim Cummings is right, the TX laws have changed and don't appear to be favorable for investors looking to do multiple HELOCs on investment properties.I'm not approved yet (only started the process) but I will get 75% LTV at 6% for 12 years on all three HELOCs. 

If I tell them about it, can they legally send that listing to someone else who is out of or in the area for them to buy?

If worse comes to worse and you purchase the property based on what the seller gave you and then later find out, those documents were not correct, you have legal rights to take steps against the seller.

"lie with intent" is the distinction of course, I think by anyone standards legal or not, it would be wrong to lie with intent but with that said, proving illegal?

In MD you have legal title the moment you get a judgement.

However, there are some exterior repairs that need to happen before the VA will approve.

Showing within 24-hours after accepted offer with proof of funds or lenders pre-approval"...something to that effect...just depends on your market and state requirements.

Finding residents is a completely different process as compared to a typical rental property (assuming you are operating legally).

You can alw review your leases and be more aggressive wIth protectons than prev LL (with legal confines).

I was talking with a mortgage broker today and he wasn’t sure if that was possible or legal.
