This seems to make some sense as you don’t have as easy of ways to check on things like inventory purchases, water usage, etc.

The problem will be getting the initial loan, especially if you are trying to be cost effective and build it out where land is cheap, typically meaning low population density. Any decent bank underwriting team will really question the viability of the business. Your plan will also need to not charge grossly out of market rents and obviously having no experience in the business would hurt.

Then you need the fake leases for any units not actually rented and how the fake leases are paid.

Seems like if you could get 75% of so of the units rented with real tenants, you could fill the rest with month to month (which you could justify higher rent on) cash paying fake clients and maybe not catch any heat. That might also justify modest periodic expansion of units.

I don’t like the idea of paying people you know a few bucks to lease units they don’t need. The less people who know, the better, as with any criminal enterprise.

Would need to be disciplined and pay off the loan as quick as possible and get one less set of eyes on your financial statements.
