The government wants their cut unfortunately.

Hi @Aryel Collins, If you're looking to get lending from a conventional lender, they're all going to be looking at the same numbers because those are government back loans and they have the same criteria.

obvious to me the government is trying to use this as a way to kill off the private wealth building investor

At a min you need an agent in the state.I guess you could hide, but stuff like land trusts would be a lot more effective.Besides, you can always have XYZ buy it for ABC with a side/unrecorded agreement that it is ABC's property.Typical government - using a shotgun to kill COVID germs.

By doing this, they may be eligible for government assistance; such as medicaid.Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. 

In the social sector, you cannot decide on the amount you can charge tenants, it's set by the government.

Regarding other areas of the metro area, here's a post from a month or two back that I'll borrow from with links to the local areas' government rules/regulations that will hopefully be updated with the latest information.

Coles notes:Your LLC paid $140k for a property $15k rehabSold to wife for $250k with $67500 down. government sees that as a net profit for the married couple as the difference. $155,000 in$250,000 back=$95000 net (minus say 5k closing costs)=$90000 profitminus$67500 cash down=$22500 cash in pocket. 

But as far as price projections, that is a long boring discussion about historical prices, unique economic factors in Hawaii, the government, builders, zoning, supply, demand, military, etc. 

I know the government does NOT want any sort of depression.
