They originally wanted to phase out STRs with deed transfer, but the complexity and lawsuit risk of that verbiage had them change to this. 

Great replies here, and thank you for sharing examples of what you have or have not done as a private landlord.I do think there is a time and place to offer concessions, just not for people like you and me that are owning/managing portfolios smaller than an apartment complex with 100's of units.

Amenities also drive demand to a rental and its much easier to have something like a pool if you are in a complex.

There are some rare and complex circumstances where I see this would be beneficial.

@Tyler Speelman Your strategy to assist your sibling with a down payment while minimizing tax liability is creative but comes with complexities.

Some of my colleagues and friends bought millions, others tens of millions, and some hundreds of millions (or Billions) during that period.Real estate is a funny game - it tends to go up, yes, but it does not always go up, and it can go nowhere for a decade or more, as a lot of apartment complex purchasers from 2021 are about to find out. 

Taxes, costs, eviction complexity, etc are going to be a much bigger factor in your success than anything else.

I also advertise before someone moves out to get a new tenant before the current one leaves. 100% occupancy on a LTR is very common for me.No idea on a MTR.100% occupancy sounds great, but for a bigger portfolio or apartment complex, it usually means you're leaving money on the table.Here’s an extreme example: I could rent out 100 units at $500 a month and make $50,000.

A few months back, a fellow broker brought me a pocket listing for a newly built and stabilized 32 unit apartment complex. 

Complex Filings: Businesses with more complex structures may choose to prepare and wait for further developments.What’s at Stake?
