Many people on Sec 8 but also many market rate tenants/home owners.

Funny, my state looks at all of the states taking property rights away from owners and then passes laws that do the exact opposite- it's a great marketing strategy.

When in Doubt for Florida, look them up on Sunbiz.org, search by Company name, then cross reference with owner name.You go deeper and check Civil Records for Lawsuits. 

The fact is that anyone who takes, leads, or carries away the property of another with the intent to convert it to their own use or deprive the owner of it is committing a crime. 

It's not as simple as homes that were burned being rebuilt and original owners returning to them.

Most of these forms are boiler plate, just changing owners name and address, and charging you several hundred for it. 

Keep track of 3 buckets.1) Owner occupied portion - potential deductions for schedule A2) Tenant occupied portion - potential deductions for schedule E3) Jointly occupied portion - likely prorated for both schedules.There are nuances to this, so I recommend looking for a tax pro who can coach you on this. 

for me  a handful since early 80s  now in those days I was ONLY buying land that had owner contracts on them. 

While it might feel like an extra charge to tenants, these packages often provide value that indirectly benefits the property owner as well—like reduced maintenance calls or ensuring the property is better protected.In my experience managing a large portfolio of properties, these fees are becoming more common due to the thin margins in property management.

On a per-owner basis the policies will change for occupants over the age of 18.
