Why? It's incorrect information. The proposed rule change has absolutely nothing to do with full time RVing. As for not getting political, it already is. You really should deep six this, IMHO.

It's really NOT political in the Partisan Political sense. And just because it is completely false and totally misunderstood is to me an argument for keeping in the light of day to be refuted by as many as care to.

This is the way you "deep six" Rumours and misinformation. Not by censoring it.

X2 HUD is a lending institution. They have a plethora of rules right now on how and if you qualify. This just states what they will NOT consider for lending under the HUD guidelines. I see no problem with it as it has nothing to do with real Full-Time RV'ers. Who by the way are not going to go to HUD for a loan. :W

That is mostly true. They are also continually looking for someone to build HUD housing in areas where homes are privately owned.

If it involves the government it can only mean problems for "We The People".

Like when "We the people" need a fire truck to save our house? or the Police? Or when We need a passport to visit other countries. Or maybe when WE needed that VA Loan to buy a house or build roads and bridges, dams for electricity to keep your lights on? The list is long and full of absolutely necessary services.

This tired, worn out refrain about the government needs to find a permanent rock to hide under.

I think this statement is wrong:

"That’s right – if this law is passed, living in a tiny house or an RV may become illegal in April of this year."

I read the entire article and I don't see anything where it will be illegal to LIVE in an RV. What it's saying is HUD is trying to define the rules for what is consider a 400 square foot RV and what is considered a house. The fine line with Park Models or Destination Trailers is the problem, as they are pushing the limits and are being found in the no-man's-land of the RV - HUD argument.

Further reading, makes me think that if HUD wins, then the benefits of calling an RV a HOME will be redefined. It won't be illegal to live in an RV full time. I don't see that written anywhere. But the person living in an actual RV (400 square feet or less) full time may not to able be claim some tax and loan lending benefits that are available now.

Remember, "HUD" stands for ("Housing" and Urban Development)They are trying to define what is considered a "House", especially if it has wheels. It's a COYA so they have a way of denying mortgage loans intended for low-income families to people wanting to by a "house on wheels".

I actually understand their point of view, having been a home owner myself and having had several VA loans, and having working in the Mortgage Lending industry in my past life.
