Recommendations for Landlord Friendly States

[Anup Patel]

I am curious on the BP community's thought on Landlord Friendly States, I am an investor in California and day by day there seems to be less protections for Landlords including unpaid rent, no longer being able to charge a deposit. As this pandemic continues, can anyone recommend states that at least help protect the landlord.

Thanks for your input, it is greatly appreciated.

Its a LONG story but I was trying to help my mom sell her house with owner financing. One guy in her small town was interested but he didn't want to put anything down and was offended that my mom would charge him such high interest, like 7%. So he said he could do better and would be back with cash. So I searched on the forum and found an investor in her small town and he informed us that forclosing in Kansas is WAY harder than an eviction, an eviction in Kansas cost 600$ and takes 2 weeks. I don't have any experience as to if this is true or not but that sounds way friendlier than Washington, or worse Seattle, in Seattle you can't evict in the winter because its too cold, too cold as in a low of 40 above zero. Also, you have to give your tenants 60 days notice to raise rent which is kind of annoying. I can hardly remember yesterday how am I going to remember that in 60 days my tenant is supposed to pay me an additional 25$
