I use my own application, which has an imbedded authorization to release information for their employer and landlord.If they have not confirmed an hour prior to their appointment, I send this text to their phone (which was required as part of their contact information I required in the response to my ad):As I had requested in my email, you have not yet confirmed your apartment showing for this evening, scheduled for 7:00pm.

The lender wont talk to you without the owners written authorization, and the lender does not own the property to sell it to you. 

I have 8 properties that I have rented through section 8 now and didn't need any additional resources than the one freely available to he public from the housing authorities.

Taxing authorities have had their eye on vacation rentals as a huge, new found pot of gold.  

The property owner retains full ownership of the property, including the title, control, and decision-making authority.

@Alicia Prokos (and anyone else in the same position) A 401k plan is a type of Qualified Retirement Plan, in which there are - at a minimum - 2 essential roles: Trustee and Administrator.Plan administrator – The person who is identified in the plan document as having responsibility for running the plan.Plan trustee – Someone who has the exclusive authority and discretion to manage and control the plan assets.In the overwhelming majority of plans, it is the business owner and/or the business entity adopting the plan that fill these roles.Companies that provide 401k administrative services are more aptly called "third-party administrators."

Consequently, it’s up to these companies themselves, not demand from investors, to set the value of their shares.Non-traded REITs own about 10% of the $2.5 trillion in real estate assets held by REITs, not counting private ones whose shares are only available to accredited investors, according to the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, a trade group.The SEC and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, a self-regulatory organization for brokerage firms and exchange markets, issued investor notices in the mid-2010s that warned of potential risks from non-traded REITs.They include a lack of clarity as to how shares are valued, difficulties in selling shares readily, high fees often paid to managers with possible conflicts of interest, and the potential that investor cash and loan proceeds can be used to pay dividends during unprofitable periods.More recently, high-profile investment firms such as Blackstone Group and Starwood Capital Group have started their own non-traded property trusts with offers to disclose more information, charge fewer fees, and allow shares to be cashed in more frequently.

There are a high number of CPA firms that do not want to get involved outside of the FYI to their clients, and some state boards are saying that a CPA advising related to this registration is an "unlicensed practice of law" given it is not under Title 26 - income taxes - the only place where CPAs and EAs are specifically authorized to interpret law.
