I think single families and small/starter investor might be the biggest hit!

Again biggest thing is how the town is.

The biggest mistake you can make is not protect your private investor as well as yourself.

While it can be good in a down economy, at least in my dealings with Cincinnati MHA there are downsides. 

The only downside is they hold the rent for 4 days. 

Again, without focusing on the potential downside to this (and other relaxations of policy), the upside of it is that FNMA is now considering allowing the same type of appraisal that I am hoping to line up.
