One thing that not many people talk about too is how there is disincentive for current homeowners to curb affordability. 

If anyone spends any time in Europe, barely any jurisdiction impose these limitations on homeowners/builders yet people live in much smaller spaces... and very happily.

Get on next door, FB, etc. and post within your community to see who other home owners are referring.

They're not out to just make money, but take care of homeowners, business owners, partners, etc and their well-being. 

But almost all homeowners and most investors do inspections after getting a property under contract. 

The best barometer for natural disaster risk is the cost of homeowner insurance.

Over the past decade, I’ve built and managed purpose-driven homes in CA that serve communities while generating stable, long-term cash flow.In addition to running care homes, I also consult with aspiring care home owners across multiple states, including Texas, Arizona, and Michigan (Detroit area).

They get a higher return since they are covering housing cost, have the $250k per spouse primary residence deduction in gains, is a savings account, higher leverage position, lower interest rate possible, will pay more premium for location, etc.House might be overpriced for REITs but not for home owners.  

Has anyone ever made a "Homeowner's Manual" to give to the tenants with key information/explanations on things about the house?

In order to move back into the home, the homeowner would need to reinstate or payoff the loan, including the costs of the receivership as permitted in the order.
