Guy, an interesting read, but I totally disagree that the solution is more government regulation or  oversight of rental properties - unless they are part of section 8 and are therefore offering a service in exchange for income.IMO, the answer to your question of "When would you know....." is more based on personal integrity and ethics than a hard or fast "model". 

I am considering the negotiation of a long-term contract with the government to fix the bathrooms of the entire +1600 appartements of the complex as they all suffer the same issue.

it's a rough area, the government is so corrupt" ..... 20 + houses later "What you're doing is incredible, you're really found a niche market, you're like Chip and Joanna Gains!"

Property values will go down due to buyers drying upMany owners will bail - possibly including ME Equate this to: every day you drive home to your house - all of sudden Government moves your house while at work and they do not tell you where it is - you have to go find it !!!

Obviously, in our area checking flood zones is critical, I'm just wondering if property in a "special service district" would deter or promote investment. https://pilotonline.com/news/government/local/article_cf479978-91f0-11e9-9263-6bb8bcc94e30.html?

Homeownership in high taxed states is a complete scam for the government and banks to get rich.

The adults in the government ,The Fed, are worried about this and how it will effect the economy going forward.  

The government wants there to be a line between residential and commercial lending if possible.You can own up to 10 individual financed properties through a residential lender. 

The government is paying all or most of your rent so you don't have to worry much about getting paid.Section 8 pays 110% of market rents in my area.  

The hearing will be held at the County Government Center, located at 385 N.
