So supposedly section 8 per a property owner would have you stuffing wool in any and all holes of a rented property, I wonder what HUD would have to say?  

Supposedly we can then use that 8k plus what we are paying for rent today to pay a 13k mortgage house.

It's supposed to ensure there are no surprises after closing.

By the way, 3 of the 4 have been rented since I owned the property so yes I suppose the 75% rule could apply then.

Additionally AB2533 should grant more flexibility courtesy of its language to limit the city "impact fees" - like that $8k number - so that a good chunk of those fees can be waived since the state is now supposed to reimburse the city for those fees in lieu of you paying them. 

It is scary, it is supposed to be scary.

Even if they are locked in does not mean anything they can change them anytime they want these lenders are not regulated like Owner occ lenders thats the bottom line.. it does affect their crediblity i suppose and risk of them getting trashed on SM  but its their money thier rules.You're correct.
