My test for if a neighborhood is too "bad": would I be comfortable sending my wife there at night?

One can only hope I never need to test it and that we never get sued haha!

Hi SteveThanks for your comment.You make a good point and I hope you are right but I am not willing to be a test case.I am not qualified to say, don’t do it, just that the government has the resources to prove their point that the subject of the “referral†ultimately paid.

I would be willing to test it for/with you and work with you on it as well.

As mentioned, it might be worth doing some investigating to see if they have consultants/executives in need of a high-end rental.Here are a couple of the companies that are investing in Atlanta;-Gulfstream-Juniper Networks (the are building a 100MM testing facility).

Under the SAFE Act of any other mortgage origination regulation, A loan to a family member is not considered being in the business, which would be the first test, secondly, it's a refi, not a purchase.

If its anything unused like beer or water bottles or soda I will leave them for myself or the next tenants, throw away all other used items.Check the back patio and tidy up if needed.We leave instructions asking to load and run the dishwasher before departure as well....again 90% or more have done so, and I simply check this and clean anything thats needed, then put away dishes once ready and kind of look around to make sure everything in order.Leave a check for the maids and run all the bed sheets up to a wash and fold service that has them ready usually in 3 hours.That is about it in a nutshell....once you get a routine down its pretty automatic and probably spend no more then 30-45 minutes running through the house dealing with things.

Though every now and then, I will find an occasional empty beer bottle or can outside the property (anything to be real concerned about?.)

It just doesn't pass the "common sense" test...Can you post the applicable statute(s) that are being broken in these two situations and explain to me why I've never heard of anyone being charged under these statutes?

If you are following any guru progam written prior to the Act, my opinion is that there would be a good chance that it would not pass the smell test.
