I did a search online to check out the data on a city I was considering investing in, and saw (not a city government site) pretty troubling information about the rate of both violent and non-violent crime statistics in the area.

Can you confirm that Airbnb is not sharing the days stayed with city government?

The IRS and other federal governmental organizations generally don't do a good job at sharing information (some of the lack of info sharing is for privacy purposes), so reporting any rental income you might receive is not likely going to result in getting 'caught' by the FHA.

@Dan Krupa I currently have a government job that pays very well.

@Fareed FityanChris is obviously great, he is incredibly knowledge about everything in the lending world...When a TIC loan that I used to have matured last year, the ONLY one that could and did help me was Stanford Federal Credit Union...Now I am shopping around for a rental cash-out refi, again SFCU offered to help, and Keystone Credit Union too...

No but it would be more advantageous if done through a Roth since qualified Roth distributions are not subject to federal taxes.

Further questioning reveals they are referring to business licenses.I'm not a big fan of government oversight.

I’m been sitting through the forums learning about tax deed sales in Florida1) who can I call or what website can I go to find government liens and debts on a property?

I do not have a specific link, when I looked it up I went to the government websites and they had all criteria and specifics mentioned. men’s group sounds so much cooler, alright you’re off the hook then! 

Further, that the county, which sold the property "free and clear" of any liens, does not have the authority to clear IRS/Federal liens.
