As I understand it, HB24-1098 changes the procedures for evictions and creates many more procedural hurdles but I would not say it "restricts a landlords ability to evict non-paying tenants".

When your documentation is thorough and all procedures are correctly followed, you can typically achieve a favorable outcome in having the tenants removed.I've done it many times with out the need for an attorney. 

Procedural errors will now be catastrophically expensive.What's going to happen is that many landlords and nearly all tenants won't know about the changes, so only a few landlords will get burned at first, and that amount will grow over time.

I was involved in wholesaling business long time ago (not real estate but consumer goods), and it has taught me A LOT about human nature.

My partner and I now find ourselves in a strong financial position to start our RE investing journey and have set our sights in New England, specifically Rhode Island due to the excellent natural environment and our desire to ultimately relocate there long-term. 

You can do it on your 2023 tax return though, with a complex procedure involving Form 3115.

G’Day BP folks,A fellow Toledo investor started a Facebook group revealing all local scammers.Mostly contractors.10+ years of investing in Toledo and stopped counting at $1m in losses.It’s just the nature of the beast and the cost of doing business in my eyes.Unfortunately, Toledo is notorious for bad operators and poor quality of workmanship in many industries.Maybe this group will help you not loose the same amount of cheese that I did $$$You’re welcome 😇 https://facebook.com/groups/786864700099337/

@Kevin Sobilo, is generally correct in what he mentioned, however, there are a few revenue procedures that could allow for a split allocation of investment & primary portions of each where we could still discuss an exchange.
