Per fair housing regulations, I can't answer this question. 

Is it fair?

I would only hire out for major work I can't do myself or emergency repairs.I've dealt with older houses before and the house may be fine for occupants but there's still usually lots of things that can be fixed / improved so it seems a house that isn't perfect would give more opportunities for ongoing maintenance of this sort.To me it seems fairly straightforward to meet the time requirements but I think I need to have extensive documentation?

Having someone local who has skin in the game and experience would be valuable.

Some fair criticism for sure.

regarding AB 2424, how would they determine fair market value?

Hi @Andrew Freed, It is fairly recent, it has been about a year and a half since it passed. 

Fair point! 

Perhaps I should take a fair amount of time (1-yr minimum) to build up enough capital, and make repairs. 

I want to know how much skin they have in the game, the loan, and their track record.
