Hey Jonathan,I work for a local government in the midwest in the city's development services department.  

This obviously doesn't work with government loans, but for conventional loans I have had way more luck with the 'get a new appraisal & point out flaws in the old one' approach than I have with trying to get an appraiser to admit that they made an error.

I'd just like to throw it out there that, while I don't have a lot of knowledge in the real estate sector, I do have a nice camera and a decent eye for photography.

The Federal Government also added a "stress test" on new mortgages.  

Does that mean it's government owned?

However, there's a Homepath property near me that looks interesting but getting that close to big government is a little intimidating. 

Each deal/project is discussed, many of which state and local governments with a lot more money than Trump and his dad, failed miserably to deliver on time, or on budget.

Hi guys, my name is Florence Wambui, I am from Kenya and I am greatly interested in investing not only in real estate but also in other areas like the retail sector.

I am a 23 year old Civil Engineer currently working for the government.

In general, when you purchase a home in an association you are bound by all of the CC&Rs a.k.a governing documents, which would've included all the rules around rentals.
