Au Contraire, I am trying to tell you that you can do this without paying ANYONE, me included.All the posts I have been making over the years have not changed voice or strategy.

The Fair Housing Act is what applies to privately owned property (with the exceptions Bruce listed above) and it forbids discrimination against prospective tenants because of their disability as well as race, religion, sex (including gender identity and sexual orientation), skin color, familial status, and national origin. 

It is inevitable that when you are in the MHP/Affordable Housing space you will have applicants who are Felons, Drug Addicts, Sex Offenders and have poor credit.Here is how I handle each of them:Felonies: It depends on the felony but we don't allow any felon that had the crime occur within the last 2+ years and I am very careful about this.Drugs: I try to be compassionate but I have found that any recent drug offenses lead to a lot of bad behavior.

On a home on Lofwood Lane in south Augusta, I never stopped to question why the prospective renter showed up to view the rental in a U-Haul with her family in tow.

Have to screen for sex offenders (Airbnb does this for you, supposedly, but most other platforms don't).

If you buy investment property of this type based on the sellers CLAIMED "cap rate" you can say au revoir to your money.

Just because sex wasn't mentioned in the contract doesn't mean your not getting busted for prostitution because the intent, regardless of the verbal contract details, was sex for money.Wholesaling if done correct is perfectly legal, you can most certainly assign your interest in a contract.
