When they started, the patriarch of this family did everything, as they grew they had to take on employees to help manage, CPA, legal, administration, accounting, payroll, for maintenance & repairs, landscaping...

Small business owners will let trusted employees go since they can no longer afford them.We will have a rash of failures in small business and everyone will blame the administration in power for the loss when it was triggered by minimum wage meddeling.Uneducated workers will figure they have an additional 40 hrs at $5 more or $200 in discretionary income which they will over spend.

FHA is Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and they offer a loan that you can use towards buying a multi family unit.

You also could use an FHA (federal housing administration) loan at 3.5% which will wrap the rehab into the loan.
