Landlord registration meeting

[Amber G.]

Greetings landlords and investors. This is my first BP post. I just found out that the city council in my little town of 3k people is having a meeting tomorrow to make landlord registration mandatory and implement inspections. The council’s primary target is “slumlords”, but as I am fixing up my properties as quickly as financially and humanly possible I may get caught on a few things depending on what they use for their standards. Also, there will be a few involved which with 10 doors adds up and will make rent even more expensive. (Located in Deer Lodge, Montana)

My question: What can I show/say that might sway members to acknowledge that I am part of the solution, not part of the problem? Before/After photos of properties I’ve purchased? A page from my tax return that shows I didn’t 64k MORE than I earned fixing up properties last year?
