The guy who commented that saw a viral tiktok video that said you could do that. I asked my realtor if we could do that and he told me "absolutely not".

Even if you could it would be pretty risky. If for whatever reason you didn't end up getting the mortgage you'd lose your deposit at a very minimum. Worst case you would end up being sued.

It is fraud to do so. Representing facts that are not true.

The seller can sue you for damages, and misrepresentation and for halting a sale that you could not fulfil on.
