Could you be mandated by a third party (historical society, mortgage company, neighborhood association) to purchase replacement cost v actual cash value? 

FHA mandates that the consultant come inspect the work being completed on the property every 30 days, and each inspection is to cost me $150.

I think we already reached the inflection point mate.Old school "Hard Yakka" has gone out the window.Look at folks getting their panties in a tangle with "return to office" company mandates hahaI'll stop there and and say no more so it doesn't get misconstrued but I"m not too optimistic over the next 20-30 years when it comes to the current work force maturing and being expected to "pull the weight".Thankfully we have AI and maybe even robotics taking over lol

Government is great at issuing mandates and fines to enforce, but not quite so good at providing funding to help with those mandates.Andrew brings up another good point about the unintended consequences of this law if it is allowed to stand exactly as it is right now.

I don't know about their EV mandates in Canada.

But more specifically: read the August 11 update, and pay attention to page 19 of the PDF that shows the number of distressed listings - keeping in mind the COVID-19 limitations placed on banks/landlords in the spring.)I would confirm with the seller - in writing (like you should conduct all REI business) - whose name is (mandated by local regulations - if so) to be on each of the utilities (the property owner’s or the tenant’s.)

Would they have mandated rent cuts?

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?

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