#1 yes

#2 either had a typo or put in the wrong SS# hoping you wouldn't actually do the background check. 

#3 why did they buy a house if they're going to be living in the rental part time? Seems like a friend who is co-signing and lying to help the others get a place they're not qualified for

I would tell #2 that the SS# came up invalid and ask for the right one. If they give it and it all checks out, good. If they give it and it turns out they're not worthy, bye bye. If they give you a new one and it turns up as invalid too, bye bye.
