I am wondering if anyone can point me to the document or source that dictates how a tenants personal property is to be handled after an eviction or abandonment in the state of Iowa.  

CMBS underwriting is dictated by guidelines put forth by rating agencies like Fitch, S&P and Moody's.

But based on where you are buying the property in Palm Springs dictates the percentage of days a property states rented.

I'd encourage you to familiarize yourself with different parts of New England and weigh where you want to live with the employment opportunities in the area... unfortunately your W2 job is going to dictate what you'll be able to afford, so buying somewhere that provides a good, well-paying job, will have a big impact on your initial success with real estate investing. 

Tell them to move into a cheap hotel until they find a new apartment.Don't take one penny from them to give them tenants rights.Don't ever let someone deny you your property and dictate what you will do with your property.

I won't mention figures as they may be dictated by different state and local laws but we use a 2 tier system. 

They do not dictate  how to run my business. 

The federal government should not have the right to dictate how investors manage their asset as long as it is within the law.

@Chris RoseI often see listings that dictate home inspections aren't allowed.

Plus, the "third world dictator" look (while awesome for some purposes) drew awkward attention when driving around el-cheapo neighborhoods looking at houses!
