We bought our current home with the intent of living in it 20 years.   

NOT owner occupied), but our intention is very much to owner-occupy.

It's shady as hell.Your sole intent was to screw the two agents. 

My intention was not to be vague.

I'm in the process of rehabbing a SFH in Pennsylvania with the intent to sell it for profit.

If your intent is to live in it and pull permits to fix it up, the state of Alabama “legally” requires 1 year after the final inspection before renting it out.

@Uneeq Khan Hi I would consult with an attorney that understand assignments, but it is being done in the State of New Jersey,  based on what I have been reading recently, it is good to be honest with the seller and end buyer of your intentions.

Commercial takes longer to close so they want to close it as fast as possible especially when it's on thin commission margins after splits.Some intentionally leave listings as active to fish for more buyers to add to their database.

I bought a really nice SFR with the intent of renting it once the Army moved me but didn't really do my DD taking into account expenses that come with renting out a property.

For me, I buy NPN's with the intention of keeping the borrower in their homes with loan modifications.
