If the tenant induced the landlord to sign a contract under false pretenses, that's fraud at worst.

I've heard a lot about Fraud by Inducement where the Wholesaler basically lies to the Seller and gives the Seller the impression that he/she (the Wholesaler) has the funds necessary to close but really doesn't.

Inflation induced debt destruction- rents rise over time, the mortgage reduces, we gain equity and cash flow.Other people pay off your mortgage.I have a range of property management fees, with a low of 6%.  

But the tenants continue to pay them all down via inflation-induced debt destruction while also working to raise the values over time.  

You could probably convince them to do so because the inducement of month to month is often appealing to many tenants.

Also, if you get a property under contract without both the intent and ability to close, you could be sued for "fraud in the inducement".  

What could be something to induce this aside from just chance? 

@Chris Adams great caffeine-induced info!

@Steven Caldwell - I am by no means an economist, but there are some very clear differences between now and the 2008 crash.First and foremost, the 2008 crash was a real estate-induced crash due to mortgage companies not properly vetting buyers and then selling off bad mortgages that ultimately defaulted.In our current situation, our government has flooded the economy with cash thus driving up inflation over the long term, which inevitability also drives up with the real estate market.
