I suppose I could combine the two ideas and live in a basement while renting out a 2 bedroom home to a traveling agency. 

Hi Carlos,I am in Madison, WI and we shopped around a lot when moving a few years ago and used Neckerman Agency (now McClone) who are insurance brokers. 

Attempted to report him to state agencies but there was no clear jurisdiction.

HUD and Agency financing is another beast compared to conventional or non-bank lending (Secondary Market).

But it sounds like we'll have to swallow our pride and take your advice and contact a few real estate agencies.

Heck, fixed annuities and agency debt are paying over 5% fixed, so if you really want to sleep well at night that is an option as well.Also, I have found that the landlord/tenant relationship is generally better with short term rentals than long term rentals.

The tenant will most likely talk nonsense and show the judge precisely who they are.Send the judgment to a collection agency, along with all supporting documentation.

Let us know how it goes.Right now i'm also working on searching for RE in Cascais, Estoril, Lisbon areas, and building up relations with real estate agencies.

A government agency pays part of their rent. 2.

Some are less than that if their agency is slow in finalizing things.
