I am curious about your thoughts on the new Assembly Bill 968 (AB-968), effective July 1, which mandates comprehensive disclosure of repairs and renovations from sellers who flip one-to-four-unit properties within 18 months of purchase.Thank you. 

It's been too much for her mentally and with all the mandating of extra shifts. 

If this property had been in one of the areas zone for more density they would surely have done a normal "Seattle six-pack" of 0-lot-line townhouses but instead they short platted 2 lots to still in effect end up with a six-pack even though in an area not zoned for it, at the cost of having to sell units as condos and deal with other ADU limitations (e.g. 1000sf limit).In 2023 the State mandated Seattle-style ADU regulations across all urban growth area cities/counties, going even a bit further (2 of any combination of attached/detached allowed).

As many of you may know, Assembly Bill 968 (AB-968) has recently been passed, which mandates a comprehensive disclosure of repairs and renovations from sellers who flip one-to-four-unit properties within 18 months of buying them.For those who are not familiar with the details, AB-968 requires sellers to disclose all repairs and renovations performed on the property during their ownership period.

That said, renters insurance absolutely should be mandated because it's NOT just for the tenant and many tenants don't even realize what it covers. 

They have mandated emotional support animals and have questioned landlords denying felons.

It isn't a ton of extra work for us to manage an IRA vs regular investor, but eliminating government-mandated paperwork (that adds no value) is a win.

However, some local jurisdictions may mandate it.Additionally, bedrooms must meet certain electrical outlet and lighting requirements, cannot have openings directly into a garage, and with some exceptions cannot contain gas appliances.

This would be a nice win for the lender since I would mandate prequals on the properties. 

It is an expansion through regulatory mandates.
