The brutal truth is that almost everyone has an agenda and majority of the time that agenda is to help you grow your knowledge base and to possibly promote a product or service.

You speak the truth!

But the truth is you can always find deals that you can't afford and you have to bring in investors.

What @John Thedford is telling you is the truth, so don't sell property don't advertise that you are selling the property, offer your position on the contract for a finders fee.if you don't like that, you could also place a property under contract with a weasel clause stating that you will close when you find financing, and just be upfront with the sellers letting them know what your doing and do a double close.p.s.

I'll see if @Linda Weygant has time to drop some truth on ya.  

In my line of work we call them pussies, but you know what they say, sometimes the truth hurts.If I'm missing a lot of facts, so is everyone else.

If they request information and you respond truthfully, that is loan fraud, which is a felony and pursued by FBI, not your local sheriff. 

End result is that everyone gets evicted and the subleaser loses all their funds.You do need confirmation that the person you are considering renting from is able to do this.On the other hand there are MANY MANY scammers on places like craigslist who claim ownership of the property but, in truth, are not. 

I will ask my friend if he's willing to share some before and afters and step-by-steps to augment the initial insights.

The tenant in this instance is said to have supplied information on the application form that was not truthful.
