—We use the government site for housing allowances, and aim for E5-02 tier rates, and we buy in areas that are in demand.  

In general, I think they want bodies.

Traps are so cheap... don't make them "handle" the little bodies. 

this allows me to have an opportunity fund for the quick hits and not have to deal with landlord drama that I cant stand personally there are many other ways in real estate to make a buck and landlording is easiest to understand and get into.. but can be pretty annoying if you get some cruddy tenants or buy in areas were your renting to the bottom of the income pool or those on government assistance.. 

I'd suggest start looking for primary sources, possibly through local government and chambers of commerce.

If passed, the law would repeal the Costa-Hawkins Act and expand local governments' authority to enact rent control on residential property.

Advertise TODAY and make sure you advertise BELOW market rent,...just get some bodies in there ASAP.

Drag it to the street , then tell let the government take it .

Additionally they are not controlled by the government.

Typically for government backed loans it's more challenging to get a "very low offer" approved as they are less flexible for their NET and they use more qualified people to complete valuations.
