I am currently evicting Section 8 crack smokers, and liars who keep moving other people in to live with them even though it's against Section 8 rules.

If so, are there any rules about (is it unlimited up to your entire tax liability)?

Anyone know of a creative way to get around the 80% minimum equity refinance rule in Texas for a primary residence.

My lender just informed me that the rules regarding rental income had recently changed, and unless I have a 'rental history', I would not be allowed to show the rental income as additional income.Anybody else heard of this?

This transaction is identical to the first one with the exception that it started off as part of a 1031 exchange, and because the property that was converted to his/her primary residence was originally acquired as replacement property in a prior 1031 exchange the investor must own it for at least five (5) years before he/she can sell and take advantage of the 121 exclusion.

My personal opinion is that this rule applies to shingles, siding, decks etc etc etc.

Don't you mean 14.99% with a 20K liquidity rule?

Do they usually have any weird rules in general and in particular against having roommates?

If you're working with a rehab, general rule of thumb is that you don't want to have purchased the property and fixed it up for more than 65% of its ARV.

That would be like having used car dealers make there own rules when it comes to inspecting cars that they sell.
