I just don't think banks should be regulating the real estate industry by imposing restrictions.FHA was wise enough to realize that imposing such restrictions does more harm to the economy than good.

"[1] The equitable interest is a right in equity that, if violated (suffers a harm), is subject to satisfaction by an equitable remedy.BTW My local board challenged my position and came to the agreement that I was correct.

Morally I guess it’s up to you, I figure if I don’t someone else will so what’s the harm.

I've borrowed money from family, it depends who they are and their situation and ur relationship with them, if u can lend from Dad instead of bank knowing relationship is stable then it's a good option.Sometimes lending fri family can be hard coz being a slave to the lender can turn things around therefore harming the relationship.If it's working for both of use and is win win then great I think.I have been in trouble before and not able to pay back for some time but it never harmed relationship coz my family didn't ever hold anything against me.

I can’t prove the cat died from toxicity but even putting a pets in harms way is completely unacceptable.Are there grounds for non- renewal of lease even if toxic traps as a prohibited item were not on the contract?

We don’t know any PMCs to recommend in the area mentioned, but since selecting the wrong PMC is usually more harmful than selecting a bad tenant, you might want to read our series about “How to Screen a PMC Better than a Tenant”:https://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/3094/91877-how-to-screen-a-pmc-better-than-a-tenant-part-1-services-and-processesWe recommend you get management contracts from several PMCs and compare the services they cover and, more importantly, what they each DO NOT cover.

As people who engage in crime (and not ones with the caveats you so mention), particularly those addicted to the darker side of life (which really is to say – death), they have only shown as documented by our justice system and by the degree of their mischievous behavior they are people who, in the best of lights and save all genuine redemption, are a proven concern.What Oakland has done here is to take away a valid and sensible means for law-abiding people to insulate themselves from those with a history of making decisions of harming others.

It really boils down to "trust", if a seller believes that you can perform as stated by the contract in a timely manner than no harm no foul.

The concern is that if the tenant does something stupid and someone is harmed by carbon monoxide, they will sue you.
