You couldn't pay me enough to do section 8, WAY too much work and BS with government people (who are hired idiots that have no clue).

Now it used to be if you got a job with the government and could count on a fat pension then life could be good and with a few rentals excellent.

First step would be to talk to the controlling government body about what you can do with it.

You are unlikely to get caught and the city governements don't really care.

I am happy to talk smart contracts, governance and funding though. 

The focus of government policy (regardless of how local) should be on addressing fundamental friction.

Quote from @Gerald Jarreau: Is there a government agency that will need to certify the rental as mold free?

To address this, we verify the property owner per government records and use this information to vet imposters.Anything that seems suspicious will lead to us requesting an acceptable Letter of Explanation to address.Analyze IncomeMany landlords require a month of paystubs from applicants and just use these to calculate a monthly qualifying income.

There is a reason that most states (including Connecticut) require property managers to be licensed, one of which is that they are required to have basic education on the rules and laws governing the practice.

There will be much more government spending and jobs created in Mcallen to secure the border, leading to continued population growth.
