(FHA/VA, ironically, you cannot make that assumption about compliance with the law)

As @Jay Hinrichs you MUST be in compliance in the state where the property is located.

Any city violations, fines and compliance issues will fall on the owner of the property .  

Make sure they know you're interested in real estate income tax compliance before you start working and after.Agree with @Steven Hamilton II that you need to be very good at researching and finding the answer on your own -- the correct and holistic answer -- without anyone's help if you intend to open your own practice. 

Such as ADA compliance, wiring issues, green issues, fire escapes, sprinklers, etc...

I guess someone will just have to file a complaint and you can take it up with the BRE I am fully aware of section 1026.24, but you are welcome to follow through with that, as we are in compliance. 

The compliance reporting for these programs is quite onerous so it's worth sitting down with a CPA in your area that does real estate tax credit deals to get a lay of the land locally.

@Brian Garrett you'll have to call the city and speak to the code compliance department.

I have unplugged multiple times his connection (see picture), asking him multiple times to stop; of course he hasn't.I want to address this issue promptly, ensuring that appropriate actions are taken.Given that this tenant is a Section 8 voucher holder, I have reached out to the housing office compliance department to seek their guidance on the matter.

And a few skills .. you need to be able to do all of that then on top of it you have to deal with dodd frank and compliance issues which are real..
