The implied warranty of habitability requires landlords to maintain their rental units in a condition fit for the "occupation of human beings. "136 In addition, the rental unit must "substantially comply" with building and housing code standards that materially affect tenants' health and safety.137A rental unit may be considered uninhabitable (unlivable) if it contains a lead hazard that endangers the occupants or the public, or is a substandard building because, for example, a structural hazard, inadequate sanitation, or a nuisance endangers the health, life, safety, property, or welfare of the occupants or the public.138A dwelling also may be considered uninhabitable (unlivable) if it substantially lacks any of the following:139 Effective waterproofing and weather protection of roof and exterior walls, including unbroken windows and doors.Plumbing facilities in good working order, including hot and cold running water, connected to a sewage disposal system.Gas facilities in good working order.Heating facilities in good working order.

@Jay Hinrichs I love the stuff your friend is doing with container homes.

I am too old now and I have a few development tracks that will ripen over the years that I will leave as legacies to my Grandkids and great grandkids.But if I was in my 20s or early 30's I would include a nice NW timber track in my portfolio..not only that you can camp on them hunt fish etc.. if there large enough you can put a cabin and now a days with the container homes you buy one of those and lock and leave.There is a reason they were called Timber Barrons.. !!! 

I am UK based, he is USA and our current vehicle that contains funds is in Luxembourg.We have 100,000 USD cash that we are able to put into it this year to start and a similar amount annually thereafter.I'm currently thinking we may be best to buy cash to start as I have a few concerns re: finance: - Poor personal credit within last six years - no previous RE experience - Lending would either be to a new US LLC with a foreign entity owning it or directly or the Luxembourg vehicleMy thought is after a couple of cash purchases lending would be easier.Investment wise I'm looking at getting into rentals.
