Why are individuals being given relief funds and being encouraged to not pay rent by eviction moratoriums?

I don't think ESAs have the same protections under ADA or Fair Housing laws....but I encourage you to check.Now, let's say the answer is yes the State, County or City does prevent you from taking a "pet deposit," there is nothing that prevents you from requiring a higher security deposit....unless of course there is...LOL. 

If $300k is truly your max, I would highly encourage you consider duplexes as they often do fall under that $300k range that still need a bit of work and and improve the value over time through forced appreciation.

Because its a hud home, the Seller which is the government is not only looking for owner occupants using conventional or FHA rehab loans, they ENCOURAGE it!!!  

Fannie and Freddie both encourage this re-branding -- if you are logged into their respective websites as a mortgage industry insider, they even provide marketing material where you get to specify what you want to call "your" re-branded loan program.

It's a bit intimidating, so I am encouraged to see others dive in and succeed!

Also, as a wife who has 3 children, 9/11/13, and a spouse who has always stayed home with them, I would encourage you to think about your words. 

Also at the same time, you should use that opportunity to setup your estate planning as it is easy to incorporate it in your asset protection plan.I would also encourage you to watch the Youtube channel of Clint Coons that has plenty of very good videos that would give you a good overview of different strategies.

., I would encourage you to contact a Real Estate Atty.

He also encourages them to hire the housekeeper to do their room, which she will do for about $20 more a month that they pay her directly.
