Are there specific cities or states where this lobbying is already having an impact?

i think its very property and location specific.

I'm hesitant to set a utility cap, as I worry that disclosing a specific amount (like $500) could deter potential tenants.

The are some specific limitations on SUVs and crossovers even if they're over 6000 pounds, so you should make sure the particular vehicle qualifies.

I would recommend getting a free cost/benefit analysis to see if you specifically could benefit from the study.Real Estate Professional Status

This cushions potential value drops.Syndicator vetting: Only partner with syndicators who have a strong track record in different market conditions.Market and asset class knowledge: Understand market cycles and the specific real estate types (multifamily, industrial, etc.) you're investing in.Avoid chasing trends: Just because a market or asset is “hot” doesn’t mean it’s solid.You’re right that this approach doesn’t cap your upside, quality diversification can still generate huge returns while managing risk.Best regards,Drago
