I keep thinking the more regulation the more expensive it will get. 

Don't forget, if you have owned a commercial property for a long time and have put a lot of money into it over the years, you may be able to expense many of those "improvements" with the Tangible Property Regulations (TPRs) of 2014.

PM's are not very good at this.We have our tenants sign a trampoline agreement, which takes care of liability and also regulates the restoration of the lawn.

Text campaigns are going to become less effective in the coming months because of recent regulations, so don't spend too much money on them.

Unfortunately with new regulations it has become harder in the higher foot traffic cities so MTR is a way to go being that it is still popular in business, nursing, relocations, etc.

Big, big difference.This is dependent on location of course, but one reason I prefer existing homes is that you are not only buying the physical house, but also the existing rules and regulations.

You want separate settlement figures showing exactly where the funds came from and how they were used so that the regulators can't hose you. 

My recommendation for anyone is to educate yourself, whether its Hawaii or elsewhere, because if you are aware of how STRs are regulated in Hawaii, this is far easier said that done.

Interest rates change, regulations change, in CA lots of fights happen, inflation happens, and just so many headwinds to fight thru as a developer. 

If it's solid wood, it can be sanded numerous times.....a recent rehab where the floor was thrashed got 3 heavy re-sands, ended up being one of the most beautiful floors anyone had ever seen.Also, I would look at jacking up the center floor a bit while you're at it.
