My first rental is about an hour and a half away and it has posed a lot of unnecessary challenges.

I have to deal with this all the time as I don't do Sec8 or Pets.A quick google search looks like you maybe ok - "Fair Housing Law State and Federal laws provide “fair housing” protections for certain populations to prevent discrimination in access to housing.

yeah i think that sounds great, to prevent more confusion at the title company but im leaning towards a decision to require earnest money, but he hasnt even seen the house in person yet and i dont want to come off as too aggressive (especially if im a co-wholesaler) "addresses aren't disclosed until confirmation of deal has been presented" is a rough draft of what ill reply with, is that ok?

The due-on-sale clause looms large here and most conventional lenders use it as a means to control the property: squelch second liens, prevent lease-options, etc.

BUT (to forestall the wrath of the moderators and/or prevent being banned from the site forever for making such RASH comments....)

According to several contractors, this is not up to code and the pad needs to be at least 2 inches below the interior of the house to prevent moisture/rain intrusion.As such, I feel like I am faced with 3 options1.

I would think securities laws would prevent access to a lot of us... but for accredited investors, I would think there would be a market for syndicated deals as an alternative to bond income...Hmmm, always an interesting conversation here on BP.

It won't prevent window damage, but it will keep folks out or otherwise impede entry and keeps the place from looking as vacant from the outside.

I'd also watch my time invested in this - I'd prevent it from taking up too much time.Whether he paid rent or not, he was living on your property and performing a specific task related to the property - in my state, that forms a lease agreement.

The boyfriend supposedly works at a large casino/hotel in the area, so I'm thinking the issue didn't prevent him from getting that job, if it's legitimate.Thoughts?
