We stopped them about 4 years ago due to anti dumping laws and covid prices tripled.  

You're in an anti-landlord city, one which provides tenants free resources to fight evictions.

Quote from @Jay Hinrichs: @Henry Clark"If you were in a new construction syndication and got caught with a 300% increase in Lumber costs due to Trump applying Tariffs to Canada for anti dumping, and then Covid shut down both the logging and Lumber Mill industries in Canada I can understand getting nailed.

The properties are so expensive due to the land that if you need a mortgage you’re going to be cashflow negative, and the laws are so anti-landlord that I’m not sure it would be smart to buy here regardless.How are you going about finding your seller financed and subject too opportunities?

Quote from @Aaron Antis: The others are correct.

Not sure if it would help with the anti-commingling?

When you say there are many "agents whom are anti-wholesaler"...are you speaking of Real Estate Agents or are you still talking about the Attorneys?  

City of San Diego has passed anti STR regulations that start next summer.  

But everyone basically signed those agreements late into the search right before an offer was made, and because the seller almost always paid, it wasn’t the traditional negotiation you’d have upfront with a seller, 2ndly while I do think this is a net win for the consumer, the idea that the doj “solved a problem that didn’t exist” 1st of all it wasn’t doj it was a jury in Missouri 2ndly the issue is regardless of impact on consumer’s they were almost certainly violating anti-trust law which is illegal lol, the publishing of commissions and the fact that something like 98% of all agents were paid between 2.5-3% was textbook, imagine if the price for a ritz and a motel 6 we’re basically the same, you’d think collusion right? 

I am thinking about updating my lease to prevent tenants from displaying Democratic Posters of any one running for elected office that champions ideas such as Rent Control, Gun Control or other anti-landlord ideologies.
