The premise of the Backyard Homes Project is to create a one-stop shop: Homeowners promise to rent their ADU to a Section 8 voucher holder for a minimum of five years.

Tell her that the expectation will be that it is clean, all trash/contents/food items removed, and placed in the exterior trash bins with no furniture/boxes/items left on the property (translation: don't dump your junk in the yard). 

I received a general e-mail this morning from FCI alerting note holders of a Final Rule from the CFPB that affects private investor owned notes with borrowers that have been affected by COVID.The CFPB Final Rule amends RESPA and requires note servicers to comply with "procedural safeguards" prior to initiating foreclosure between August 31 and December 31, 2021.Exceptions are loans that were 120+ days late before March 1, 2020, loans where statute of limitations expires prior to January 1, 2022, or if borrower abandoned property.Bottom line: it looks like there will be more red tape navigating "procedural safeguards" if you want to foreclose on a loan that became delinquent during COVID.For more info, try googling "CFPB Final Rule Part 1024 - Real Estate settlement Procedures Act (Regulation X)."

"Lock" them into their holders with crazy glue.Or, hire an electrician and put in wired in smoke alarms.Gail

They vomit hairballs and food everywhere.

Just food for thought.
