Actually it looks like it is by each individual housing authority if they will participate.Hate to say this, but it is going to be like finding a needle in a haystack.....borrower will need to find a lender that will do it. 

Stucco, no decks, I’m renting individual rooms, 10min away from my house, easy maintenance.

Crazy but true.Here’s a CSLB chart, if you go the individual and homeowner verification route, you’re gonna need a lot of supporting evidence of competence and testimony from who you worked for etc.  

For individuals that qualify for this, they can use their rental property losses to offset their active income.

I like that you’re driven and really want to surround myself with likeminded individuals. 

You have not done real estate deals in the past as a group or also individually?

A Beneficial Owner is an individual who either directly or indirectly owns or controls a company.

As a landlord, I've great respect this individual and have treated him very well.

There are tons of valuable posts, learning materials, and great individuals here on Biggerposckets- so this is already a good start.

I tried reasoning with that individual as well but similar to you, seems adamant this strategy works.
