When I immigrated here from Canada I obviously didn't have 2 years worth of tax returns.

A lot of tenant groups and entitlement groups are using the rent control to push their politicians into local government spotsRent controls will only accelerate the ghettoization of So Cal and Orange County.Anywhere rent control occurred across the nation - it resulted in a deterioration of the community.Nobody wants to address the REAL causes of higher rents - like illegal immigration - that lowers supply thereby increases demand.Simple economicshttps://www.ocregister.com/2018/03/24/rent-control...Rent control push through LA areahttps://www.buildium.com/blog/ab-1506-threatens-re...California AB1506 got pushed back for nowhttps://www.pressherald.com/2017/10/12/portland-ra...Portland Rent control push

My mom immigrated here, not knowing how to speak English, and worked her *** off to support my sister and I.

Greetings BP,I am an Immigration attorney currently living in NYC.

I wonder how recent immigrants get around REI if this is the case.Anyway, I just want to get my first rental property that 0) Will be finance-able with the money I have and the mortgage facilities available to me :)1) Will be less prone to vacancy (always rented).2) Will generate at least enough money to cover all expenses (all things being equal) even if it does not yet generate significant positive cash flow.3) Will appreciate over time.Gurus. . . any advice will be appreciated - especially relating to the Calgary real estate market.

I would hope no one here hires illegal immigrants and I would really hope no one would be dumb enough to admit it if they did!

I know this is old but it is grinding my gears and it infuriates me.To assume that all illegal immigrants live in bad neighborhoods and will kill you is a pretty narrow way of thinking.

Employment levels are already down 3-4% from mass early retirement, extra deaths, no immigration for 1.5 years, and extra disability from long covid or claims of it. 

My father was an immigrant.

Anthony and I have a long-standing friendship outside BP.Here's the story: a father-and-son pair of alcoholic Belarusian immigrant tile clowns with matching ankle monitors courtesy of the Allegheny County Jail were the impetus for my learning how to use cement board to lay tile in framed buildings, and by extension committing to handyman investing here in Pittsburgh.
