It's a monthly REI networking meetup at Red Stick Social on Government in midcity.

Which governing body determines these requirements?

This is because most of the financing comes from government programs and they, of course, prefer to keep as much investing as possible within the country.  

Furthermore, California has a very anti-landlord and anti-real estate investor government that can cause you all sorts of other problems as well. 

The first thing here would be the regulations and laws governing acquiring properties, managing properties and selling properties.

It is not like your product line gets banned by the government or your company is bankrupted.

In case you haven’t read the previous responses or haven’t walked a mile in a landlord’s shoes. 90%+ of your problems are caused by your local/state government that you seem to be giving a free pass.

The only way to make money in bad neighborhood through LTR is either getting the government benefit or running it as a slumlord.

As such, the plan will continue (i.e. it is not as if the Quest Solo 401k plan is being shut down and a new plan is started) but be governed by the new plan documents (which is why one needs to find a plan that supports the required features). 

It blows my mind that you can actually start and operate a legitimate business in the US without telling the government (not the public) the name and address of the owner.
