You will need to deal with AML (anti-money laundering) and other verifications.

The concepts were murky at best and read like an anti-government manifesto. 

I'm an agent, so I'm not anti agent/broker, I just think there is a lot of housing supply frozen in ice because sellers need a real partner to work through various issues they have before they can sell.

This translates into a kind of anti-established business practice mindset.What I think will happen is Listing Agents will severely cut or almost eliminate their compensation to the Buyers Agent, basically forcing the buyer to go direct.

Our company is very much involved with the MD investor market from Baltimore to DC suburbs to the Eastern Shore, so anybody looking to talk contracts/terms, networking, JVing with other investors, and now it sounds like more attempted anti-investor legislation... feel free to connect.

many investors are avoiding the actual city of Kansas City and instead investing in the surrounding townships and suburbs (which will not have to adhere to these new 'anti-discrimination' rules)Our area is projected to continue to grow and appreciate fairly quickly so we are afraid of getting priced out of buying our little farm if we wait too long.

Well I never thought I would be the one saying something like this......but I have a recent good news story about a warranty company.Based on an experience over 30 years ago, I have been on the anti-warranty bandwagon and even run them down on this forum, but:I bought a house last summer (primary home) and the sellers agent threw in a Home Warranty.

The longer that you hold onto these in our area, the better chance that the city/state is going to pass another anti landlord law.The longer that you hold onto these, the longer that you're not able to get into those index funds or other stocks.

@Tori Roy, I can’t point you to the court records, but I remember learning that anti-trust laws prevent NAR from limiting MLS access to Realtors.I think the solution for you is a no-frills, no-desk-fee broker plus signing up for your local MLS without joining the Realtor board attached to it.I’d suggest doing a little googling, then calling your local Realtor board and inquiring (dare I say “badgering”) them about buying MLS access without joining.Good luck!
