With the current very misguided decisions by the Portland City Council (which were NOT, by the way, informed by evidence-based research from experts in housing policy and economics), we're headed down the exact same road as SF and NYC.  

It had a HAP contract, an assumable city of Dallas loan, non-profit participation required, a LURA (land use restriction), city council approval requirements, TDHCA approval, past owner interference.

Ended up more or less dealing with the assett manager's council directly to get it worked out.

Again I would consult council on this. 

@Wilson Lee  dodd Frank does not apply in this scenario. this may be a situation were land contract would be appropriate but do check with legal council on that one.

Laurence,I am so sorry to hear about your situation, always wise to conduct some due diligence on your part prior to hiring any third party for anything you do.I m not sure what state your property is located, but may be a good idea to check with thats states Depart of Real Estate, Real estate Council or Depart of Business and Regulation to see if they have a Real estate Recovery fund, this is set up for situations such as yoursGood luck

And that's what the burgeoning business of big-money-backed single family rental homes did today.A handful of the single-family rental giants that scooped up at least 130,000 homes in Southern California and elsewhere over the last two years launched the National Rental Home Council on Wednesday, a Washington, D.C.

This trickles into houses and condo prices leading to ugly neighborhoods.Share the below studies and articles with your local leaders, city council, California state reps etc. 

The LA City Council recently enacted the strictest seismic regulations in the nation that will impact an estimated 13,000 "soft-story" wood frame buildings.

I appreciate your council, but please don't be abrasive!
