I trust most active landlords have heard of the April 4, 2016 "Office of General Counsel Guidance on Application of Fair Housing Act Standards to the Use of Criminal Records by Providers of Housing and Real Estate-Related Transactions" For those of you who have read the guidance, what "policies and practices" have you put in place for specific prior criminal behavior?

What location would you be looking at then?

Prior to passing, Mom had subdivided her original property into a front lot with the main house on it, and the back lot with her little "retirement cabin" on it. 

Did either of you have any Real Estate experience prior?

Buy at a great price + location + good numbersRentals don't have to be rocket science.Figure rental rate based on like kind rented properties near by.Subtract: taxes, insurance, repair % (7.5%, but varies based on prop condition), vacancy (2 months), capex (5%, but varies based on prop condition/age), pm if using (8-10%).

I'm looking at a deal that is in an A or maybe even A+ area, and wonder if it needs to be stressed to a greater degree than the usual C class deals, or stressed less because its such a good location.  

The house is located in Phoenix metro.  

It depends on where your location is, in downtown LA, you can't build anything under 150/sf.

The reason I chose that location is that I have friends and family who live out there and I wouldn't mind flying out there a couple of times a year to do some work/visiting.
