Either way, the 30 days notice should be interpreted as "at least 30 days".

The way I interpret this, is that you should be alright if you lived in an fha insured property ("supposed" to be for 1 yr...lol) and you move out to place a tenant in there.  

Think of it as the difference between "the letter of the law" (what it actually says) and case law (how it tends to be interpreted).If some shyster sees you're holding property in your name, you're "ripe for the pickin'".

I know the math is easy...but interpreting the language is a bit trickier. 

Have I interpreted your question correctly? 

"[ I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice; that is a laymen's interpretation of the paperwork you may have signed at the closing table, which I have not read, because I didn't do the mortgage and for all I know you got some wonky mortgage with settlement paperwork that didn't have the language in it that I am familiar with. ]

Basically, I'm wanting to feel out the opinions of anyone who lives in, invests in, or has given these markets any thought on the topic of REI.Here's some initial thoughts to get the discussion going:Clearly, these places have fewer major employers... on the other hand, many of these places are greyer than ever--which can be interpreted as having a sizeable proportion of the population with a guaranteed income (i.e., SSI/SSDI/pensions, etc.) and low incentive to leave for more urban markets.

The income requirements and credit scores are less stringent and you don't have a mortgage payment.This is my interpretation of what I read.

In this context I'm interpreting killer to mean exceedingly rare or difficult to find.

In other words, neither of us really know what cultural perceptions were 80 years ago, so to try to compare them to today would be fruitless.Of course, that won't stop you from asserting your BELIEFS, and trying to get others to interpret those beliefs as fact, now will it...
