I don't put a lot of stake in it but for some government contracts or deals it is required or beneficial.

I personally believe that landlords have been unfairly targeted by the local, state and federal government.

I have a pretty good understanding of the players, the governing bodies, the challenges and more of developing and investing in real estate. 

I've got 7 STRs rented to a group of guys that are cleaning up contaminated soil for the government. 

They would rather make less money and give the government nothing than make 3 or 4x more and share.

It's a government organization that helps small business owners and has resources for loans.

I tend to think short-term rentals and Airbnb need regulation, and I'm no hater on government, but it does seem like Denver is intent on making it difficult for STR hosts.

Additionally, I'm not sure how to help you find a loan, but there's a really good website that has a ton of resources that was started by the federal government called the Small Business Administration.

As an example of the variation, there are three high schools in the Independence school district, and GreatSchools rates them at 2, 4, and 5 (out of 10).The Independence city government is nearly broke; they aren't as bad off as KCMO is, but they TIFd a bunch of new retail properties just in time for the End of Retail As We Know It (tm). 

If the government paid for his medical care, some programs have a legal claim on the house for reimbursement.
