Wait wait wait....their agent disclosed the seller's personal information to you? That is just bad business on their part and decreases the seller's negotiating power, I'm sure the sellers would not be happy to know this. And I hope they're reading this and fire the agent.

Therein lies another issue entirely. If they bought this knowing full well they planned to rent it, that's mortgage fraud.
This is a real stretch. If you google the owner he is a highly educated older man. While it's possible this is the case it is highly doubtful this is what's going on. He doesn't fit the profile of someone who intended to become a late-in-life landlord in DC who made an error in his understanding of what his loan documents say.
You probably googled the former owner. Or you are the current owner. DC doesn't record sales that quickly. All anyone knows at this point is the name of the person/people who sold the house to the current owner.
