I would recommend seeking out a local landlord/tenant lawyer to review your business proposals with to make sure they conform with all local rules and regulations.

For the first two expect a lot of local involvement and regulation of your changes. 

People find they can not move forward with their lives with a judgement on file against them.However the reason I will not rent to anyone on government assistance is because you can never collect.

For instance, if I were to sell you my car and say "this transaction is governed by......Alaskan law, the Judge would probably frown at me that day and I would get in trouble.However, as you point out, each state has their own "choice of law" rules, and I am not allowed to tell anyone exactly what those may be in a state other than Virginia.

If the regulations legally allow you to non renew that is your best course.

Splits vary per deal and per situation but 50% - 70% going to partners is typical.We are regulated to death and it is only getting worse, most of which is a claim to protect consumers, I don't see how that is true, but that is just opinion.I still stand firm on my belief that having the ability to pay all involved so that nobody other than you loses money is key.

Our gut instinct is to put the tenant relocation upon the seller as part of a purchase and sale agreement in a manner that is allowed under both Federal and local regulations and incorporate that time period into our development activities--i.e. budget and development planning and preliminary approval of financing by our portfolio lender--we would probably hold off on architectural and permit work until seller and tenant have come to an agreement for tenants re-location and hopefully close on the property after the tenant has actually vacated the unit.

Basically, a self directed IRA enables you to choose the investment type and the only investments you may not invest in with your IRA are insurance policies and collectibles (although some government issued gold bullion, etc are now approved).In 1974 ERISA (Employee Retirement Income Security Act) stated that you may invest your retirement funds in any vehicle you choose with the exclusion of teh two forementioned.

The least regulated area of lending is in true commercial areas, otherwise you're likely in violation of something.Really, they are considering regulating pet food production, seems like there are few aspects of life that are not regulated and there are still people out there who refuse to accept some things or who have decided those rules don't apply to me.Not picking on anyone here, just saying that it seems to be the case in general.

Do you mean group homes like halfway houses (subsidized government payments)?
