From google: “The Fair Housing Act (FHA) does not apply to certain types of rentals, including: Owner-occupied buildings: If the building has four or fewer units and is owned by the person who lives there Single-family homes: If the owner rents or sells the home without using a real estate agent, and they own no more than three homes Religious organizations: If the property is only available to members of the organization's religion Private clubs: If the property is only available to members of the club Senior housing: If the property is designated for people who are at least 55 years old Even if a property is exempt from the FHA, it must still comply with the law's ban on discriminatory statements, notices, or advertising.

The experience was really bad as I was getting 1-2 year old leads to cold call that I knew had a 0% success rate and I do much better generating leads organically on my own.

We used our own cash we had no private investors.The other critical part was that we negotiated a 3 year wind down if our bank did not renew this was critical in 09 it allowed for a semi organized wind down that most of us in the HML space were doing in 09 to 2011 with all of our defaulted loans..

Volunteer!

I understand most of their mentees come by referral, which says a lot about them - though I too found them on Craigslist.So, the four of them, plus their support staff and "volunteer" co-mentors is all they use to teach, demonstrate, mentor and coach. 

Your HOA also will have to unless they are organized as a 501c3 which most are not.

I appreciated that they volunteered that I would not be required to go to them for repairs, but that they were there if I wanted.They are delivering it on Monday, December 11th, so I will report back with the verdict once it's up and running.

I want to ensure I’m doing this the right way while keeping my finances organized and compliant with any regulations.

@Karen Margrave Im still interested in coming to the meetups that you were organizing.

I’ve heard about partnering with insurance companies for displaced families, working with military personnel in need of temporary housing, and possibly connecting with other organizations that require mid-term accommodations.I tried reaching out to GEICO about insurance-related housing needs, but they didn’t seem to have a clear process.Does anyone have experience with this niche?
