@Donna Bishop, My email ends Real estate agent( you could insert Realtor instead) licensed by the Louisiana Real Estate Commission, USA and then I include Federal Fair Housing and ADA logos. 

I currently have a full time job working for the government but I'm ready to quit and do real estate investing full time.

I currently live on base (Government Qtrs) and do not own any other properties.

Landlords did not set federal interest rates which have been at historic lows causing increases in prices.

Let them do some calculations before I say good bye and inform Federal Reserve about lack of transparency, misleading information, and not updating information on the preliminary disclosure.

@Hush Dinero - FHA loan is government backed loan and does not require 20% down.  

Complain to some government agency, who would declare the house uninhabitable, and then they would make him move out anyway. 

Look at it this way, they are kind of like an additional government that collects money from all the members and are supposed to perform a set of services for the common good of the members.

@Jen Pothilat, from a Federal 1031 perspective if you and your husband are already filing a joint married tax return it is that return (in otherwords the two of you together) who are the tax payer already.  

The more screwed-up California government is, the more we like investing in Las Vegas.
