We have a 14-page management contract that we've added our real experiences to over the years, with the intent of protecting both us AND the landlord.

My intent is to house hack and at the least have a neutral cash flow from the property.

Just keep in mind that what people say they expect, and their true intentions, are not always the same.

You lose the home mortgage interest and property tax deductions on Schedule A.A corporation has to have a business intent, too.

No, there's no intent to do loan fraud, never even thought of that as a consideration.

There is no prepayment penalty so my intention is to pay back asap by getting the properties finances once I have them rented out.

The broker/agent is just relaying information the seller is passing along to them.If the seller intentionally mislead you would have to prove that in court which is very hard to do.The local zoning attorney close to the property will usually have local juisdiction case law experience on how things will go.

If you are making legitimate offers and have every intention of honoring them barring extenuating circumstances I see no reason why what you are doing is perfectly reasonable and valid.

When the borrower called to offer a deed in lieu, the lender (HSBC) said they had no intention of foreclosing.

The court awarded us several hundred thousand for conversion, fraud and intentional infliction of distress.
