A healthy line of communication both ways is not only professional but always makes for a healthy and swift deal to closure.

If your tenant tries to circumvent your established policies and bring a puppy/dog on the premises without your consent, then be swift to enforce the terms of your rental agreement.

Now, I find it hard to think that all of those people considering house hacking these properties had done their homework when making offers as we are seeing properties go above asking prices again.Now, if the numbers aren't working for me as a savvy investor whose play is to buy a four flat and keep one unit to airbnb/my friend and I to use when we come into the city, I have to wonder if all these house hackers are really considering what a swift economic downturn will do to their ability to keep the building.

If the scammers had someone in the states open an account, and then the wiring instructions included a swift number, the money probably ends up in Nigeria within a matter of minutes.

short answer NO. you will need first to subordinate... you might find a private investor who is not to swift to do it.. or a close personal friend or relative that will take the risk with you.

I have seen regulators do strange things but if any regulator even proposed expanding their guidance to encompass credit decisions, the pushback even within HUD, not to mention FHFA and the Enterprises because of establishing a very dangerous precedent would be so swift that I doubt anyone would even know of such a proposal before it was quietly killed internally.Even Liz Warren isn't that out of touch. 

Having to be very, very cautious with paperwork and tracking payments and have had to really be on them to keep things moving swiftly.

Be swift, firm, fair and polite. 

Friendly - personable, polite and professional.... not a "friend or buddy".Fair - abide by all landlord tenant laws, communicate openly and honestly, no special favors for some tenants and not others.Firm - have the backbone to hold tenants accountable, stand by your written rental agreement.Fast - swift to do maintenance and repair, swift to address tenant concerns and swift to enforce the terms of the rental agreementFlexible - take into consideration extenuating circumstances and be flexible when it is warranted, but don't let tenants manipulate you or take control.Since your grandmother chose these tenants and is compromised because of her church relationship with them, do her a favor and take on the responsibility of addressing this issue as her agent.

@Kristopher Hanks thanks for the swift reply.
