Meaning a tenant can SHOOT YOU DEAD if you attempt to steal their property and never be prosecuted (well, maybe prosecuted but unlikely to be convicted).Any landlord or property manager who tries to take a tenant's personal property for payment of rent or hold hostage a) is a bloody fool, b) too stupid to own/manage rental property, c) will likely be the reason the Texas legislature cracks down on that stupid law.Don't be that guy.

It’s also mortgage fraud, which can be criminally prosecuted. the reason is that the lender inherently incurs more risk when it is deemed an investment property ,therefore they command a higher investment rate. 

In most areas, the way most do wholesaling it is not legal but rarely prosecuted.

The state may ask why you didn't try cleaning the walls first, but that is a stretch as the state is broke and doesn't even prosecute theft.

When you repeat, it becomes a scheme and much more likely you are prosecuted. 

Or why not pass a criminal defense law that says the prosecution cannot spend more money than the defense (equal funding to both sides) - so that less people are compelled against their will to take a plea deal that includes a conviction just because they're scared to get a worse outcome if they go to trial with a public defender with 1/10th the budget to put on a defense.

You will need to play very "by-the-book" to make sure that you don't accrue code violations and fines in your personal name as they will be substantially easier to prosecute against your individual person vs a corporate structure.

Starting an eviction after the tenant called the city who then condemned your property would, IMHO, be just as big a mistake as waiting six months to get the gas issue repaired.Retaliatory eviction is a no-no, and no MDJ or higher court will be friendly to this kind of easy-to-connect-the-dots prosecution against you.The property is uninhabitable; get the plumber to get off their *** and get the job done. 

You cannot file for check fraud as they will only prosecute checks to a business(No an LLC does not qualify)3. 

My thought is that as long as you are being honest, if it turns out the program won't pay landlords with no employees or whether you shouldn't have submitted 2 applications or whatever, it is likely they won't prosecute you for anything.
