Unless I can get private business insurance that excludes the extra $250/year mandated by FEMA/NFIP, then I'll probably just pool funds from all the rentals into one for disaster relief savings.  

As to vent cleaning, it's quite possible it is something that has to be urgently done, as many owners don't consider it a priority, and a fire inspection could've mandated it.

My association's bylaws mandate that the board maintains a certain amount of insurance, and I would assume that your associations bylaws do the same.  

All pre-foreclosure laws are state-mandated so these vary a bit by state.

Federal/state mandated disclosures are something your broker will have a checklist for.

It does not say anything that I am suppose to provide a form then again I don't know if Texas code picks anything up and mandates that a landlord is required to provide a form.I am making a form up now for my property the tenant is suppose to move in actually two months after commencement technically the property was considered good to go five days after the initial contract signing then there was an issue with the house regarding water coming into rooms and mold that was obvious and smelled in another portion of the house.I spoke with the tenant they are cool with me providing a form at a later date projected to be November 1st, 2018

Contracts were sent out and I was about to sign but I found out on my own (it was never stated in the listing) that this house is mandated by the town to be raised and my offer did not take that cost into consideration.

If a third party buys at the auction, a bank doesn’t pay ANY other liens from their proceeds, unless the auction price was More than their debt......and then anything above the judgment amount is not their money anyway, it goes to junior lien holders in a specific state mandated order, and if any is left over it goes to the borrower.On the other hand, if the Bank gets the property back at the auction, Then they typically pay these liens off, out of their pocket, so they can deliver clear title when Selling the REO.

I didn't want to lose the 3 plex so we went along with what they said, but it didn't sit right that they were going to remove my name from the title (to meet debt to income requirements) and then also mandate that the property is listed on the MLS (even though my name wasn't on the title).The 3 plex was purchased and the City rental Inspection is this week.  

Well, given that whether or not the neighborhood has "noise problems" is one of the questions on the mandated Transfer Disclosure Statement in California, I can't see how stating that it doesn't have them would be a violation.
