There is a fine line between conservative and stupid.

-Should I find an appraiser that is also familiar with FHA loans or just a good appraiser is fine?

Looking for more data to fine tune property search. 

Obviously there won't be any 100% "safe" tenants, no matter how much vetting you do, a job loss etc. could always happen to anybody... but I feel like having one at all simply shows that they didn't prioritize keeping a roof over their head for one reason or another, among other issues.Everything else from that post, if I am referencing the same one, seems fine to me.

It sounds like the project is getting a lot of pushback from locals but potentially worse than that is that the article says Shared Estates had until 9/1/2024 to raise the money for the development, but now they've altered the agreement to give the fund until end of 2025 to raise the money.A representative of the town is quoted in article as saying that after signing the agreement in January, Shared Estates examined it's finances and asked to have the agreement changed.So potentially the projects I invested in aren't doing well, or they're doing fine but funds from those projects are being diverted elsewhere.

As long as you put in the time to learn as much as you can up front and put that knowledge to work by taking action, you'll be just fine!

You can be fined up to 3 times your profit from the deal for that. 

Vermont is fine for expense offset.

Agreed - the one thing that will probably be the least worrisome about the deals is cash flow (DSCR Ratio) should be fine. 

The jurisdiction of its a safety hazard or blight my require it to be demolished and you do not want to start getting fined for it, so that is something I would consider.
