@Marc JolicoeurOn your last point, can you still get away with "no criminal background" due to the new HUD guidelines?

Account ClosedWhat you are contemplating is mortgage fraud a Federal Offence.

And that’s not a comment on demand, it’s a comment on price so don’t take offence please.

@James Wise  What was described above is simply life in the rental bizz  no amount of up front screening etc will keep you 100% immune from peoples lives.. as lives change.I had 11 A class ( new builds ) in Jackson MS area.. and by and large they were great I could self manage those ( self being my secretary managed for me).. but even there on brand new 200k homes I had one completely destroyed.. 50k in damage... and luckily the insurance company covered it and went after the tenant for criminal charges... as you know normal turn over damage is not covered with insurance.. then I have owned C class Section 8 with the same tenant for 8 to 10 years.. just like many others.. its one reason I subscribe to the thought process no matter what were or how.. you want some scale if you want to be in the rental business.. however you can do it get to at least 10 doors as quick as possible.. that way one bummer does not sink the ship.

He doesn't have criminal background. 

If the judge did not immediately solve the issue I would be seeking writ of mandamus against the judge and the clerk.I would be trying to have criminal charges filed.Now... on the other hand, if the person came to me during the redemption period and said they wanted to redeem the property, I would work with them.

That's why RE brokering requires licensing, and disclosure, and maintaining insurance, and written contracts, and civil and criminal penalties, etc.

Historically in classical Greece, only slaves and criminals were tattooed.

@Josh StevensThe federal moratorium (among other things):applies to tenants who have lost work during the pandemic and have no other good housing options; allows evictions for reasons other than nonpayment of rent; and imposes criminal penalties on landlords that violate the ban.I don’t see how the length of the lease term makes any difference in this situation.
