Most properties are remotely managed by owners/PMs and what was suggested would be an impossible and unrealistic standard to set - much less enforce. 

Property values and interest rate (but with higher standards) were lower in 2012 than 2007.In general it is often true, but not always.  

Issue is, in these "bad" deals the government comes after the lease option seller for predatory lending practices and the eviction / foreclosure process is a nightmare.

S8 standard voucher amounts INCLUDE all utilities.

This motivation lead me and a business partner to start Raise the Standard Property Management.

If I’m not mistaken you put around 50% down but I can connect you with a lender to get better info Hey Khalid - that sounds a bit higher than standard.

Not by government standards, so you cannot buy real estate with it.

A standard roof that use to cost $15,000 to replace, is now well over $30,000 to replace in many areas of the country. 

Quote from @Alan David: i HAVENT MENTIONED THEIR PRACTICE OF WITHHOLDING ANY FUTURE EARNINGSON THE INVESTMENTS ONCE YOU MAKE A DISTRIBUTION REQUEST, IN MY CASE THAT IS TWO YEARS( SO FAR) WITH THE FUNDS JUST SITTING IN MY ACCOUNT DOING NOTHING.i IMAGINE IF THEIR FUND HAS A LOSS i WOULD BE  SUBJECT TO THAT TOO.
