Earlier in the year someone posted an article stating that the government is going to take over the rental market.

With government funding gone and hospitals back to normal capacity, the industry has contracted a lot and the gold rush is over but the industry is still higher than pre-pandemic levels.

@Sean BrambleThe lender is the one who would still pay taxes on interest, even though the loan is no interest he will (when he files taxes), subject to AFR (applicable federal rate).You of course don’t get to deduct any interest though from your tax basis

Local Landlord/Tenant laws and applicable Real Estate laws concerning rental transactions and required licensing and handling of Client funds; Federal Fair Housing; Fair Credit Reporting Act; applicable EPA regulations; HUD rules for certain projects financed with HUD money and of course Title IX subsidized housing issues; OSHA rules for employees (office AND maintenance workers); Licensing and Insurance requirements required/recommended for contractors that you hire; IRS rules related to employees and income reporting for your Clients and vendors; accounting "best practices" for Client funds; business insurance and record keeping requirements for your locale and type of business entity, and probably a few others.

It sounds to me like it shouldn't be an huge issue, but make sure you check, because not following their requirements is considered mortgage fraud which is a federal offense.Good luck!

I would say for the government not to touch anything and let the free market does what it does the best.

Navy Federal CU loans were easy and had good rates at the time.

They can give insight on what the local government is looking for in that area and what public likely gives the least pushback on.

I read on a New Hampshire government page the law states that the security deposit must be kept in a special escrow account with a bank or a bond posted with the municipality.

$500-$1,000 per filing of Federal and California tax returns is dirt cheap if you are hiring a professional.
