Affordability is linked just to Salaries, income from the property is not counted. 

If one is a lifer then I like the BTR but if one is going to exit in less than a decade I think the exit might not be what folks were counting on.

Perhaps the ban will give people the idea that count officials are doing something about the problem.

And location makes a huge difference. in Markets that dont move much in value then door count can be critical but in markets where prices may have 2X to 3X over the last say 15 years door counts are not as critical to net worth .

I am happy to have their expertise to continue to count on. 

These rentals wouldn't count against me (e.g. if they had bad reviews, they wouldn't be on my listing since the old property management company just paid me out).This gave me the opportunity to get the tail end of the high season and get some money in the door.  

(I just searched MLS and there are 589 right now)  that is not counting off-market and wholesalers. 

If mine turned 19 on April 1st, does he count for the year?

So the value and equity of the land you have counts towards the total value of the deal.

Whats the bed bath count, and sqft?
