Some cities will allow them easily, others will have very strict requirements, and some don’t allow this at all.

Gas is the big one; some states allow cheaper types of flexible lines where others are much more strict.

I operate in NYC and we have very strict rules so I've had to be pretty savvy about getting around the rules and always looking for the loopholes:New requirements for new and renewing licenses Unlike before, you now have to prove your primary residence by providing at least two of the following documents: vehicle registration, driver's license, voter registration, tax documents or utility bill** Whats the problem here?

My only real estate experience is strictly residential helping people buy and sell, I'm looking to move away from that and get into rental property investing. 

Lay down your rules and make sure they are aware no deviation will be permitted, they will be strictly enforced.

They have the added benefit of not hurting the pocketbook too.I've learned more and more that it's possible to get burned following strictly these rules, it's good to hear that we have to maybe pull back on these in an effort to at least secure a first house.I'm in complete agreeance that i need to get my feet wet and mostly look to learn (i just wish it didn't come at such a high price, but too bad eh?) 

Personally I am very strict with the enforcement of my leases. 

The government has strict rules on rent to own and the irs has changed the game

Lessons have been learned, hence this post, so going forward my operation will be run strictly like a business, which should help mitigate some of the issues I've been encountering.

The city is getting more strict about permits.
