To be honest, I don't know whether this is mandated, or just typical.

This is such a great question that I thought I’d revive the thread with a slight twist.I’ve often thought and asked about this along these lines but without much traction so far…Instead of asking for million dollars with an open-ended question of where to deploy it, what if the ask/mandate was to solely in – BUY & HOLD (20% - 25% down) and limited to Southern California ONLY and…SELF MANAGE to save on management fees.How would one structure the as in order to target Multi family (duplex, triplex) up to $600k per property?

At that point you lose the ability to do anything at all - including mandating add'l deposit, liability waiver, or for the tenants to carry their own specific insurance policy on the dogs.

Companies that provide services like Yodlee's, employ very strict security measures and have to go through very strenuous data security mandates. 

This time, thanks to the CARES act,  banks are mandated to make it extremely easy for people to skip 3 months of house payments without any credit ding.  

People aren't going to stay inside much longer no matter what a government official mandates.

Not a fan of mandated PMI's on FHA loans.Cheers guys

I would consider that a repair job to get off septic, as the septic system is failing and city has mandated me to get off septic and connect to public sewer, so that should be acceptable use of funds.    

I have also looked at various housing jurisdictions' regulations and everyone of the ones I have looked at mandates owner occupancy when adding a JADU.ADU has no owner occupancy requirement (state mandated). 

Some states made the same mandate similar to giving surgery with a cleaver rather than a scoupel.
