@Diana Jing - Please take a look at the FHA web site.https://www.fha.com/fha_article?

Why not just open the BP website from your web browser?  

Letters certifying dogs/cats etc. as support animals are a dime a dozen on the web, but aren't suitable for legal proof of need. 

Yeah, sounds you assigned a contract without the assignee paying you any money or putting up any EM....not wise. 

After finding some great information on the forums while searching the Web, it looks like this is the place I need to be. 

Lots of forums and articles on the web!

- Currently looking for rental properties in the DC, Virginia, Maryland areas- See profile for more info about my search criteriaKnowledge ContextI believe in thoroughly doing research on my investments.I am currently reading rental property books, scouring the web for any additional information, and viewing neighboring properties on various social media sites that deal with rental properties. 

Purchase price: $104,500 Cash invested: $19,000 I'm 25, the wife is in med school and I work remotely as a Web developer.

I was applying and about to pay for a mentor in Phil Pustejovsky’s mentor program until I read some reviews in the web that brought me to BP.

Or take @Jeff Bridges suggestion (nice web site referral Jeff :) and position the properties so that they pass to you upon your fathers death.
