I am seeing legislation all over the country, but especially on the coasts, of government restricting the ability of housing providers to screen tenants, do credit checks, etc.  

No one knows what is in these bills and I propose a quiz where if you can’t pass you can’t vote since you obviously aren’t informed about the legislation you are about to pass.  

Specific legislation, such as the For the 99.5% Act sponsored by Senator Bernie Sanders, proposes to reduce the GST exemption and impose a fifty-year cap on the duration of trusts that are exempt from GST tax.If you have any questions with respect to this article or would like to schedule an appointment to discuss your estate plan, please contact me via email.

When you add what will happen to people who didn’t pay during the pandemic (assuming no relief from legislators) it will be a massive influx of properties into the market.

If Donald Trump gets re-elected we could continue to see low interest rates and favourable real estate legislation.

I'd recommend actually reading over the order itself on the Federal Registry, as it is actually not very long and is much more straightforward than typical legislation.(1) https://www.whitehouse.gov/pre..(2)https://www.federalregister.go...(3) https://www.federalregister.go...(4) https://www.federalregister.go...

There is active legislation against short-term rentals in South Lake Tahoe.

Investing in Minneapolis right now with our current legislation is tough and does not appear to be getting any easier.

@Fan Bi it's all just speculation and I agree, you can't sit out of the market entirely, but I will say I was a lot less cautious in 2013 than I am today.Unfortunately, as human beings we are inherently imperfect prediction machines - whether it's real estate prices / cap rates, Federal reserve interest rate moves, the stock market, inflation/deflation, tax/economic legislation, etc.For any one of those factors in isolation, we might be able to make an educated guess and be mostly right, but combining them into one big soup and your guess is literally as good as mine or the next person's.And then to further complicate things, the right answer for you and your situation might not be the right answer for me and my situation, or someone else and their situation.It really does end up being as much of an art as a science, and makes me think most predictions I read online - including my own - are probably not worth the paper they're printed on (pun intended).
