hello,Also just analyzing a new construction property with lower builder rate offer of 4.875% if FHA.

Be sure you to have offer for potential homesellers to raise their hand... like a Home Seller's Guide.Call expired and ask them how come they think their house didn't sell and listen to what they say. 

How to Track Regulatory ChangesStaying up-to-date might seem daunting, but the right strategies and resources make it manageable.Key Resources:Local Government Websites: These often publish updates to zoning, rental, and housing codes.Real Estate Associations: Organizations like the National Association of Realtors (NAR) or local landlord associations offer regular updates and seminars.Newsletters and Blogs: Subscribe to reputable legal or real estate blogs for insights into upcoming changes.Professional Advisors: Build relationships with real estate attorneys and property management professionals who can provide guidance tailored to your market.Pro Tip: Set up Google Alerts for terms like “rental law changes” or “landlord regulations” in your area to receive real-time updates.3.

This is the only thing holding me back from making an offer on this really good deal.

Hi @Kyle McCorkelLooking at Palmyra currently, and actually just submitted an offer on a possible STR.

Quote from @Rick Im: Does anyone know of a lender that offers second mortgages on rental properties?

If you really want to get rid of them, sweeten the pot by offering to return their deposit after you verify the unit is empty with no damages. 

A magistrate is the lowest level judge who deals with landlord/tenant and small claims cases but they don't even need to be a lawyer to get that position. 

The only real advantage to using an FHA loan is to offer only 3.5% down payment, which in my opinion is barely justified as an advantage. 

Learn the eviction procedure for your area, perhaps contact a lawyer in the field to help you with this one, and get the fraudster you're currently housing out on the sidewalk to sleep in a cardboard box where they belong.You're going to lose plenty of money here, but this will never happen to you again, and you can minimize your losses if you move as quickly as possible.
