Hi @James Pecora, they say they offer conventional and FHA loans but they do not have their NMLS # anywhere on their website which is blatantly illegal.Hard money and commercial lenders may not be licensed but conventional and FHA lenders must be and are heavily regulated.

Even if your son is planning to show/lease/manage them for you...you'll want him to have a local contact to make sure he's complying with city regulations and/or WV regulations!

Rental Increase: The Ontario Government has set the guidelines for rental increase. 

We incorrectly determined the after repair value, Interest rates quickly increased, and used a fix and flip line of credit with unexpected costs and regulations.

I would think the next step would be to contact your municipal government with a complaint.

After I found that each location had these types of houses, I lowered my research to certain cities within OH / NC / TX and researched local government, employment situations, population changes, and added some of my notes of historic principles of the area and other variables of my own.

Whether or not it could be used solely for storage by someone other than a resident would likely also be determined by law and/or code and/or zoning although I suspect that to lease one storage unit (even if one wasn't technically permitted) that wasn't accessed often - if that were to pass muster with your insurer - would likely fly under the radar of most government entities (though it would still have some risk).

There are a ton of great folks that sell cars but the 5% bad ones are all you really hear about.It is something that is probably frowned upon but not illegal in a lot of peoples minds, including whatever portion of state government regulates that sort of thing. 

Still, seller financing is usually faster and easier to get than a government-backed mortgage—if the seller is willing and able to provide it.And, while most owner financing requires some form of background or credit check, it can help otherwise unqualified borrowers achieve homeownership.

The problem is that nobody can best agree on how to solve it in the private sector or through the government.
