SAMPLE LETTERS**IF YOU HAVE A REAL ESTATE LICENSE*Dear Senator [name];My name is Vena Jones-Cox and I am a life-long resident of Cincinnati.I am writing you to encourage you to vote NO on HR 1728, the "Mortgage Reform and Anti-Predatory Lending Act".While many of the provisions of the act are positive steps toward mortgage reform, the inclusion of private owners in the act (see section 101(3)(e)) will enormously reduce the housing choice of Ohioans and the ability of home owners to sell properties in this already-slow market.As a real estate broker, I have seen several dozen cases in the past year of home sellers and buyers coming to an agreement for an installment sale on a property that the owner desperately needed to sell (often to avoid foreclosure) and the buyer desperately wanted to buy, but could not raise the downpayment needed for conventional financing.In all cases, these sales turned out to be win-win deals for the buyer and seller; the seller was able to get rid of an unwanted property to a buyer who loved it, and the buyer was able to get his new home at an affordable payment and interest rates with none of the usual costs (points, application fees etc) inherent in more conventional mortgage transactions.In Ohio, these transactions are already regulated by state law: a low maximum interest rate is already in place, and both the buyer and seller are protected by other regulations at the state level.In defense of private property rights, owners should be exempted from the burdensome and unnecessary rules that this law foists upon them.

I imagine it would be enormously complicated/expensive to do this correctly=ethically.

The Town of Mammoth Lakes has some zoning restrictions for STRs (only condos, no SFRs, basically) but is not at this point looking to restrict rentals any further since such an enormous amount of the local revenue and taxes comes through STRs and transient occupancy taxes.
