I get all that, and I am here to help.But, when using the term house hacking, how can a suggestion be made that he has no intention to move into it?

Our intention is to keep it, fix it up and rent it out. 

Now that I am hearing about it for the first time and know their intention, I would give them the proper form for them to fill out.

He currently has title and loan in his name, intention was to rehab and cash out refi once finished. 

I have been a shorter term consultant in international development, traveling internationally with every assignment and doing between 4-6 a year; but during the purchase of the duplex was in transition to a full-time overseas based W-2 job with an intention of using the 200% jump in my income (including the tax savings from being out of the country) to invest in cash flow. 

Do you intentionally limit your occupancy rate to stay under the radar?

Am I missing something or is the process intentionally made to be more tedious in that market?

If you are intent on keeping the property, you may potentially do best (from a tax perspective) for the property to pass to the three daughters after Mom's death, when the three daughters will receive a stepped-up tax basis and may be able to sell the property with minimal taxes. 

It’s intent based marketing.

The frauds making promises to purchase with no intention are victimizing sellers.
