Because FHA buyers having to cover agent costs out of pocket kind of defeats the whole intent of FHA.

Also, it seems like you're intentional about the size of unit you are using for your MTRs.

Your investment intent is what is key. 

I have to believe this was intentional waste of energy.By the way I have now set the min temp to 68 degrees so in the future no one will be able to cool unit to 61 degrees. 

My husband and I are looking for our first property with the intent to buy others in the future.

So the jurisdictions that are applying the rent control to units that just became MF are not abiding by the intent.  

, or frankly just well-intentioned government regulators looking to stay active in their bureaucracy (I have personally seen this) get involved, then that same interpretive leeway gives the regulator even more power at the expense of the public interest.

Do i need to inform the lender and my insurance of my intentions? 

You should NOT "help" the seller in certain circumstances, no matter how pure, sincere and full of Godly intentions you are, if they are in foreclosure or pre-foreclosure and live in the state of MD.

This was sold to a local person who had no intention of building there, but just want to use the golf course and other amenities.There are many property owners who are trying to sell lots in Eagle Rock, and many who are letting their property go for tax sales.
