Most S8 tenants have a history of bad decisions and from all that, many have only learned how to game the system.We embrace S8 applicants, but screen them just like any other applicant.Many have an entitlement mentality and try to leverage their S8 voucher and pretend to be helpless:1) A percentage won't apply because they expect a landlord to waive application fees for them.2) Many cry broke and expect a landlord NOT to charge them a security deposit.3) Many of those same S8 tenants trying to avoid paying a security deposit, won't make an effort to call the list of nonprofits we send them that will pay their security deposit if they apply.4) A lot of them try to avoid paying for utilities.

The “New Client” Trap: Scammers will pretend to be potential clients and will carefully construct emails to try to steal sensitive information including your PTIN, EFIN, or CAF number.

Therefore, we are getting the "pretend and extend" maneuver to make loans conforming, asset swaps, capital calls, and every trick they have in their playbook to push the problem down the road.Overall, you nailed it!

Could you create a “reverse mortgage” against the property..Pretend the properties are worth $2M.

I am not pretending that I've hit a home run investment.

I don't have to pretend to be the PM because I'm female and my business partner is my father, everyone assumes I just work for him.

The bill proposal is in its early stages so I won't pretend to have all the answers, and I agree that subsidized housing initiatives need some work. 

Pretend you don't own them.

Many times the illegal unit was never realized by the city, so just undo the kitchen and pretend it never existed.

So the answer is somewhere in between 1 day and 2 years depending on how you can demonstrate your intent.I doubt if there would be much of a benefit If you're actually living there but pretending to rent to a family member.
