Personally, I absolutely love Section 8 tenants and receiving paychecks from the government.  

The business model to develop Community Association Manager (CAM) licensing legislation (and other HOA legislation): 1) legislators consult with the Community Association Institute (CAI)) to craft a Bill aimed at mitigating abusive practices of property managers who are the very folks the CAI represents 2) CAI lobbyist and their CAI “dependable” legislators become Bill sponsors 3) the Bill is assigned to Committees with CAI “dependable” legislators 4) the Bill becomes law with little to no home owner input, full of promoting CAI interests, and heavy on fees and costs and processes imposed on CAMs and 5) the Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA) implements licensing rules highly reflective of CAI efforts but fail to even contain explicit language for CAMs to obey State law or an HOAs governing laws or for CAMs to report observed violation of the law thus ensuring oversight is empty from the home owner’s perspective.

I was pretty pissed when I first found out that the government is using my tax dollars to make other investors rich(which I still don't agree with.)  

:Totally hearsay, but an agent friend of mine said her lobbyist friend said the current bill would die in the house because the house speaker is extremely against it.Interpret at your will.I'd imagine that if you are in the legal industry as part of the firms raking in hundreds of millions of dollars suing builders as a result of this law, you'd make sure to have thorough representation in the governing bodies of Colorado.  

Michael,What "insured" means on those properties, at least I'm pretty sure, is that the property can be backed with a  government loan (i.e., Fannie, Freddie, FHA, etc).  

My income is guaranteed and is tied to the federal government not local market.Not trying to slam you here just saying most people don't look at the bigger picture and when factoring all variables Chicago will beat any A market every time.

While browsing home for sales site I came across a house that is going up for government auction that has a viewing a week from this Sunday.

My 1500 per month in cash flow will well make up for any government subsidy you are talking about and tax sheltering is not why I invest in real estate.

Healthy, Ohio by the 1851 Center for Constitutional Law means that indiscriminate and warrantless government inspections of rental properties are unconstitutional nationwide, and that unlawfully-extracted “rental inspection fees” must be returned to the rental property owners who paid them.

The Canadian government put a kibosh on crowd funding a few years ago just as it was getting started.
