ha This is a real liability, the government originates most of its cases through "testing" which is to say contacts with landlords where they pose as potential tenants.

As the local governments struggle to manage tax payer money responsibly, they should really offer incentives to private builders to build "income restricted" at a much lower price. $220-$300/ft for vertical build costs.  

This lien is a superpriority lien, so it sits ahead of all mortgages and nearly all other liens (liens held by the US Government are a notable exception).

Know that it will cost you probably $3,000+ just in closing costs to buy whatever you buy (all just dependent on the price and what the fees are for your government and lender.)  

Government-backed loans, such as FHA loans and USDA loans, also have specific guidelines regarding buydowns and when they can be used.All the best!

You should follow up on this and also see if government sponsored $ or guarantees are available for construction.  

You as a tenant can't be governed by rules that were written by a licensing body to govern their licensees. 

It is crazy that the government can basically change terms on existing contracts/leases.

If it's done right, I don't need the government having been involved.  

My mom who is older than yours only gets a government pension, but she owns her house.
