Breeding dogs is sometimes considered a kennel operation and regulated so you might be able to use that and blame the government.

With the qualification requirement, you still have to qualify for the financing (thanks to Qualified Mortgage (QM) rules in the new Dodd-Frank regulations that just went into effect in January) you shouldn't be set up for failure.Why would an investor (seller) offer financing?

Hello everyone, I was just wondering what are the rules and regulations if I want to offer out of state investors maintenance, repair and rehabbing services for their properties.

Regulations aside, an out-swing hatch would not work here as you would never push it open when there is 2' of snow on the roof :-O Unless there is a gas-assist piston, a small person may have difficulty pushing the hatch open anytime.

I work in bank regulation, and we discuss these same things, because multi-family is being financed right now with very thin debt service margins and creeping LTV's all over the industry (many on BP have shared their great terms..).

Be sure to check your state and local regulations as they may be different.But as far as advertising I would start right away!

Jenny, and as other know but attempt to circumvent laws with "systems" rent-to-own is now pretty well regulated and may require a mortgage originator on the deal, suggest a note and chattel lien or deed of trust if it's RE, not rental payments.....but anyway, this issue has been beat to death on here.

That's what we preach (after, "follow your local laws / regulations").

Choose whomever you may be comfortable with, because they all have the same federal laws/regulations which they have to follow.

Building a bigger house may not comply with a lot of the new regulations, but ask if there is an administrative variance or if you actually need to go through the full-blown hearings with input from the neighbors.
