You solve the issue and in return you get your terms. 

I can’t be the 1st person on the planet to have this issue… I offered to provide the tax returns since the property purchases in 2017 in an attempt to recreate.

But hey, remember, I'm no legal expert, so it's always smart to double-check with someone who knows the ins and outs of property law in your area.

You will only see what you want to see (good deal) and not what you should see (the basement, the issues, the block values).

My issue with that request is that if I convert the house to a long term, I'd lose at least $600/month of income vs the mid term model I currently have.All that said, my DTI sits at 58% with the models they use.

This happens frequently in these basement in-law unit situations.

The issue is there are too many of these “gurus” on social media that are preaching S8 to everyone and how great it is.

@Stephon Richardson make sure that you don't accidentally violate fair housing laws with your screening and search for the "best ones". 

Folks with 40 years experience are puzzled by the rent laws, taxes, population exodus?....

These houses are fairly big size within an in-law portion with in the house (not an ADU). if we rent out the in-law portion separately, would there be privacy concerns for the main house renters?
