For example, recent rezoning in parts of NYC has created fantastic opportunities for investors who were paying attention before the changes hit mainstream news.

@Evan PolaskiArrived homes is an example of a company that does this.

An example where this could be used is if you have not increased rent on a 1 bedroom apartment (presumably because of local rent control)  and they are currently paying $500, you could petition to raise the rent to the FMV which would be (hypothetically) $1,500.You would have to talk to the RAP board to get more details about how they determine FMV.

I can generate some anecdotal examples, but would really like to see a professional study, existing court case, etc.

Jesus only mentioned tithing to illustrate how hypocritical the Pharisees were but you can bet most preachers won’t preach it that  way .just like when you hear of the parable of the “ widows mite” preachers are quick to say it’s an example how we should do sacrificial giving down to the penny  like the old widow did when it was actually when understood in context as another example of Christ calling out the Pharisees and how they extort people !   

I think the reason why you had So few replies thus far is it’s hard for people to relate to these three examples. 

Examples of pitfalls include purchasing in an undesirable area, not understanding the market values (vs. list prices), not knowing the rental values (current and market), inheriting bad tenants, buying a lemon, going rogue on renting and management with no contacts / systems / no legal understanding of PA and Municipal landlord-tenant laws, not having trusted resources and contractors in place, using out of state lenders or shaky financing, throwing lipstick on a pig when renovating a house and wondering why it's ARV isn't increasing, tenants are renting, etc.

For example, a bank would never give someone like me who hasn't built before, a loan to build like this, but we are doing it through our company which has a great track record and I will buy it upon completion.I mainly went with a new build because I thought it was a very unique opportunity given the connections I have working in a development and property management company.

I do not see that really being beneficial with BP and other forums, for example here on bp I would say atleast 50% of the responses we see on things like IRA's, LLC's etc are really bad advice.

Some lenders conduct internal soft pulls and don’t release reports because it’s just an “inquiry” others will do full hard pulls with Factual Data or Xactus for example and those generally are full hard reports that can be shared (should be at least..)
