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!

So, right back at you:  "RUBBISH"Regulation is absolutely anti-American. 

My view is at the state level there is some anti STR sentiment.  

Co-ops are setup to be anti-landlord and they want whoever is buying a unit to want to live in the unit as a primary residence. 

The political climate is very anti owner.

I'm from Seattle and left because of the anti-investing atmosphere.Don't let your familiarity with Western Washingtoninterfere with smart investing.

As much as I hate he anti landlord movement, I am starting I see why it has come to existence.
