Most housing "reforms" have been rolled back, including no-doc loans and 580 credit scores      b. banks are holding 800k houses on their balance sheets still because they couldn't get rid of them, when banks are in trouble again and need cash, they might flood the market with them     c. big funds own millions of houses as rentals2.

Since 2009 I have been making, breaking, remaking, reforming, and developing the definition of team and contractor…I just had a call with a licensed plumber I want to join LaPlante Real Estate and explained how we want to prep demo and repair portions of the job to allow him to do high value work while “not eating each other’s lunch”.  

There was major reform after the crash and as a result these bad practices were discontinued.2.

And tax reform in those days just hammered them and then N.

That and none of the "he's reformed" bs passes muster, since it is the WIFE fessing up and asking. 

My wife @Jess Haas is a reformed Civil Engineer.

It essentially only applies to new tenants who are seeking apartments.In regards to verifying tenants assets, there’s nothing in this Law that Prohibit people from asking for pay stubs, W-2s, credit history, etc. if you screen your tenants with that information already, you can keep doing that.As an aside, it may be important to note, that currently, HUD Is considering a reform that would outlaw source of funds when screening tenants, which essentially would require everyone to accept Section 8.

It existed before the tax reform, and it still stands.What the tax reform changed is the ability to deduct HELOC interest on Schedule A, as a personal itemized deduction.

They are taxable to the donor, but as was previously described there is a $14k annual exclusion to each donee, and a lifetime exclusion worth approximately $5.5 million and growing with inflation (may double in 2017 under the tax reform bill).

I have zero faith in any of our politicians and our entire political system so I have no problem starving them as long as I have roads to drive on and somebody comes to put out the fire when my house is up in flames.No question, major reform in all aspects is needed, but just because it isn't structured the right way isn't a good enough reason to throw the whole thing out.
