We have exceptionally low interest rates because the government is pumping money into the system.

I am not denying that some are more fortunate than others, or have gotten "breaks" along the way, and that some are just dealt a bad hand by a factory closing or whatever, there is a place for government assisstance in some situations, but there is also a place for families to overcome adversity, and take hold of thier God given right to succeed.

Federal Pacific and Zinsco are no longer made, but I think Zinsco might have been bought by Sylvania, then maybe GE.I've never had either of the above fail.Even though neither are not made the US Government could still recall the product if the Consumer Product Safety deemed them hazardous.

The government does not pay the interest - there is no guarantee.As Ned said "due diligence" (a fancy phrase meaning do research on the property) is very important in tax lien investing.

In many cases, IRS liens and government liens (e.g., water liens) survive.

However, the government just ordered Fannie and Freddie to curtail lending on multifamily in 2013.

Many homeowners are encouraged to "stay in their homes" even by the government, often living there rnet free and mortgage free for more than 1 year.3.

Class D properties are where you'll find many Section 8 in the US or government-subsidized housing tenants.

For those who may not know - the workflow for legal authority goes something like this (only considering state issues - not considering federal issues): 1) Check to see which statutes govern the matter at hand and review (this may involve reading lots of statutes, as they sometimes refer to other statutes for other issues; 2) Sometimes the language in the statute(s) are very clear and sometimes the language is not - if it is not clear:a) Check to see if the statutes define the specific terms that are in the unclear language;b) If the language is not made more clear by the definitions, then go to 3;3) Search for caselaw that discusses the specific statute in question.However, there isn't always caselaw that discusses the statute in question (either because the statute is new [either newly enacted, or recently amended]).

With your degree you might be interested in municipal or state government, state finance departments administer grants for economic development.
