Subject-to purchases are very enticing, but they are becoming more and more regulated as the federal government has stated that any realtors or closing companies who assist in a FHA, VA or USDA loan subject-to transaction may have their ability to transact these loans revoked for up to a year! 

I keep seeing posts about HB 24-1098 which severely restricts a landlords ability to evict non paying tenants or restricting folks on rental assistance from the government.  

@Yashar Fred too much trouble dealing with this government program and SAHA particularly yet another example of government waste.

I would do the following, at a minimum:-request that he complete your rental application (hopefully you have a thorough application),-request identification documents (government-issued),-require that he provide you with proof of his visa status and the authorized length of stay,-verify his employment, income, and financial stability, and-contact his previous landlords for references.If he cannot satisfy these application requirements, do not approve.

Although insurance may cover the rebuilding of your property, it could be vacant for months or years until the community recovers and people return.Operating costs: Every dollar lost to property taxes, and insurance is a dollar less for you to live on.Rent control: Government control of your rental property can transform a promising investment into a nightmare.Location Selection Process and ToolsYou can try to analyze all possible cities in the US and select the “best”.

Median Income and Job Growth: With a median income growth of 103% over the same past 20 years combined with a 2.39% job growth, Sacramento is filled with medical professionals, government jobs, and professional services. 

This is a huge overreach on the part of the government.

Experience also comes into play when looking for a DCR loan for future investments vice a loan from a big box bank or government backed loan. 

, or frankly just well-intentioned government regulators looking to stay active in their bureaucracy (I have personally seen this) get involved, then that same interpretive leeway gives the regulator even more power at the expense of the public interest.

@Tanganika DardenThere are “finder” companies locating all kinds of unclaimed funds in government trust accounts.
