We do not want to break any fair housing laws by passing a family up to sign with college students.

FYI, http://www.realtor.com/news/real-estate-news/your-hoa-payments-may-now-affect-your-credit-score/

wanted to see if any one had a recommendation for where I might find some educational material I can use that breaks down the terms involved with a commercial 'flip' loan (not hard money), both whats involved (i.e., what the commercial lender will look for v. residential lender), the terms that are often involved and what they mean in laymen's words, the various ways they are often structured (i.e., 75% purchase price w/ 100% construction +contingency, etc. etc.) various fee's typically charged and which are negotiable, escrow carrying costs, on and onwas hoping to find some material all ready together on this...tried doing a basic search but didn't see a whole lot.thanks

A few days ago, the tenants at a SFH contacted me saying they have no running water and the pump just kept running until they switched off the break.

When this plumbing is broke, it could break anywhere along the pipe and cause major ceiling damage or flooding to the home in excess of the cost to replace with more reliable pipes.

Renters ins. will cover the renters belongings with in the property if there is a break in, fire, storm etc.. 

I analyzed San Jose Mercury News May 8, 2016 Bay Area Real estate News data.

A break over how real estate is purchased and sold now reaches the California Supreme Court.Those on both sides of the argument will soon know the high court's decision in the case Malibu home buyer vs.Coldwell Banker.

Either they really need it and will not give back down payments because they can't afford to, or they realize they've found a sucker and can't wait to cash in on your ignorance.I'd say chalk it up to a win, as you learned more about doing proper due diligence before signing the dotted line, and overall this lesson was extremely cheap compared to the price that others have paid when breaking into real estate.Best of luck in the future!

I am looking forward to hear some news.
