    I don't have any issues with 1 member FC's but having a single level 1 owner is definitely suspicious. I think what SE should do is make the rules for ownership the same as those to buy. This would reduce the odds of a flipper sitting on a house and require an equal effort to obtain a house regardless of means use to acquire it.

    FC ownership requirements are a joke and raising the bar to prevent abuse from some will equally if not hinder to a worse degree the progress of others.

    I didn't say FC ownership. I said FC house ownership. Making the ownership requirements the same as the buying requirements would make every player meet the same criteria and likely put a crimp in the flippers as they would need a paid account for every house they wanted to flip concurrently. As it is now they only need one paid and can use lots of free accounts to transfer ownership.

    And it falls on the same thing: To gain rank for a house can be done within a day if you have the resources. Hence why the people who currently abuse the system have no problem doing so. Whereas those who are looking to buy a house will have additional issues to deal besides the current one.

    Scorch-earth tactics are not gonna hurt the people some think they will. These level 1 "owners" were promoted to the rank. Adding requirements to FC house ownerships opens a can of worms on who can retain ownership.
