The potential damages would likely be less than what it would cost to litigate, especially on a smaller deal.

@Daniel Zubrik -- we just got approved for Experian, which is effectively the same as TLO.

HUD has published notification that the new standards will be effective for the Housing Choice Voucher Program starting October, 2023.

Land trusts can be an ideal choice in Florida, especially when working to shield properties and address Due on Sale (DOS) clause concerns effectively.

In general, tenants are liable for damages caused when they breach a duty.

Unfortunately, appears you've gotten exactly what you deserved due to your poor screening.Hopefully, you've learned from this painful lesson.Hire a well-screened landlord-tenant attorney and evict them and sue for damages.

Particularly the DSTs focusing on multi family, as the rise in vacancies and lower rents must have effected them too, especially in markets like Austin, Phoenix, Vegas, etc.

I really do not see tax policy effecting the market very much.Just my 2 cents, thoughts?  

@Andrew Steffens I think we've been able to avoid cheap owners by taking on the expense of many of these consumable supplies, which effectively removed them / their spending philosophies from the equation.

But its a good exercise to go through this and try to figure out how it would be more cost effective for first time home buyers.Also keep in mind when I started in RE  Seminars or weekend work shops were put on by brokers and agents teach ing these buyers how to buy their first home..
