In real estate transactions, some unscrupulous sellers or agents may use a variety of tactics to mislead buyers or tenants. Here are some common ways to mislead: 1. **False advertising**: Using retouched images or inaccurate descriptions in real estate advertising to exaggerate the advantages of the property, such as location, facilities, or usable area. 2. **Concealing defects**: Deliberately not disclosing structural problems, water and electricity failures, or other defects that may affect the quality of living in the property. 3. **Overly optimistic descriptions**: Using vague or overly positive language to describe the neighborhood or future development plans, so that buyers have unrealistic expectations of future development. 4. **Document tampering**: Forging or changing property-related documents, such as title certificates, inspection reports, etc., to cover up problems or illegalities. 5. **Concealing title problems**: Not fully disclosing possible legal disputes, co-owners, outstanding loans, etc. that may be involved in the title. 6. **False market data**: Providing inaccurate market comparison data or misleading pricing analysis to make buyers mistakenly believe that the price of the house is reasonable or low. 7. **Time Pressure**: Creating the illusion of a tight timeline, claiming that there are other buyers bidding, and forcing the buyer to make a hasty decision without knowing the full situation. 8. **Understatement of Contract Terms**: Hiding harsh terms in a lease or purchase contract without explaining the possible impact in detail to the buyer or tenant. 9. **Falsification of Rental Income**: In investment property transactions, falsifying lease contracts or rental income reports to make the property more attractive. Buyers and tenants should always be vigilant, carefully verify property information, consult professionals (such as real estate lawyers or independent appraisers), and thoroughly inspect potential properties to avoid being misled.
