I am curious what do you think the CA government will do?

Hi Sam, most of the answers to your questions depend greatly on your local government.

So I took a government contract to hire job and will get hired on full time in may, but I found a property that I want to buy for a short term rental, I’ve been told by my banker I can’t get a loan until I get hired on full time, is there any other creative way to get financing, I have the down payment etc.

Do landlords have the ability to make their own leases without any governing body?

And if you look at what's happening in Colorado Springs -- a strong government backed economy with a growing diversity of other economic sectors, a strong appeal to young people and coastal people with money, and a spillover from Denver's crazy market -- and you start to see a market that still has upside potential. 

My wife is also a government employee with stable income, and I have already aligned a position to join the government civilian sector upon retirement.

@Mark FutalanThere are considerable tax considerations for US citizens that do business in a foreign country.If they have more than $10,000 value of currency in a foreign country, they may be required to report it to the US government on an annual basis.

Hi Benny,You should determine your general areas of interest, and then determine what Planning Department governs that location. 

Particularly during these days of eviction moratoriums.For job and economic diversity I typically use similar government sources.

Rarely does the government make decisions that are rational.
