I was able to make a deal on an inexpensive mobile home for him and with what little social security and government assistance he receives he will be fine.

I'm going to call the self help law library of another county as Navajo County doesn't have that and see what they can tell me as state laws governing the tax lien foreclosures are the same in each county. 

I understand Norfolk is no Maliu beach, but if (a) there are a lot of low income people that qualify for Section 8 and (b) government is directly giving you 95% of the rent and (c) the tenant has little incentive to misbehave because they could lose the priviledge of Section 8, then what's the ultimate problem?  

Government assistance, sec 8, higher education financial assistance and associated student housing will offer new opportunities.I grew up in a city which was very diverse in Boston but now I am seeing a call in the suburbs for more affordable housing for "new" residents... yes it was a campaign.

"As-is" has to do with the state of the property not the contract that governs the sale.

When the government has their hands in the market, it's causing disruption that needs to be compensated by things like higher rates, lower LTV, cleaner credit, points, etc.

Government intervention will play a huge role for better or worse.

Back in 1973, I was stupid enough to sign such a lease without reading the fine print.

Even if a tenant is short on cash for the month, there are lots of ways to avoid eviction: make a deal to leave with the landlord, borrow money from a friend or family member, apply for charitable assistance or government assistance, etc.And offer assistance the government certainly did, most notably with the $2 trillion CARES Act, the $3 trillion HEROES ACT including the extra $600 a week in unemployment benefits.

My question for the bigger pockets community is; does anyone know of any governement loans or grants that are available to landlords who are willing to rent to low income tenants?
