Regardless, i would not advise or ever recommend such potentially fraudulent behavior.

The shift likely won't be as drastic, but there will be a shift.Nobody really knows how the market is going to react to school starting this year - buyer and seller behavior has been a little bit different than in previous years so we might see something totally unique this year.

@Alexander Felice 2009-2014 -  Fed Quan easing and interest rates at .5 % - I was buying but too young to know about partnerships and using OPM.  2014 stop of fed buying bonds, altering interest rates and etc. 2016 First interest rate hike rates moved from .5-.75 % but come on that's really not going to change behavior. 2016-2018  Fed rates move to 1.75 % , so for the hypothetical 1M dollar invest its cost 5K vs 17.5K  annualized interest.

If there is any penalty available to you in your county, for this kind of behavior on part of the landlord or property manager add that penalty to the paperwork you fill out. 

On the micro scale, especially this time of year, add in school access/assignment, subdivision 'dynamics' (when I was more active in Wake, I tracked NOO/OO ratios and out-of-state investors as a metric, including hedge fund buying) inculding crime, HOA behavior, proximity to employment centers, etc. 

That’s far from a certainty without more information but my radar would certainly be on high alert if this behavior is happening consistently.

Tenants are on their best behavior when applying for a unit.

Investing will magnify current habits and behaviors.
