Also at least for Des Moines proper, they did a huge crack down a few years ago on people running illegal group homes/halfway houses/drug recover-sober living houses, where the operator was renting houses by the “room” to clients.

It seems more places are starting to crack down on it!

However google the relationship of Kendall Sq office space to the poll numbers of Dems who promised to "crack down on drug pricing".

Owning a property outright is awesome and offers piece of mind but from the investment side, it is not always the best use of cash or provide the highest returns on your investment.Short-term rentals are great for the cash flow but can be troublesome if the local government starts to crack down on them.

Any properties I look at I make sure that there are multiple exit strategies, it's easy to maintain / upkeep from a distance (in my area multifamilies are out for me due to high maintenance and inventory that is in really rough shape plus a crack down on local government for upkeep), and is strong on cash flow in some shape or form with the strategy being buy and hold. 

Of course there has been a crackdown in places like Venice and Santa Monica (the hottest markets for nightly rentals), but creative investors are finding ways to keep this going.

The crackdown of Chinese government on moving funds out of China is certainly going to affect the housing market, in particular in California.

in Many states you need a RE license to sell manufacored homes.. and a dealers license if its brand new on the lot.NV is probably starting to crack down on wholesaling  in generally IE selling something that you don't own yet... how did they find out about this.. did someone turn you in.In my case I simply asked for a RMLO to do some loan docs for me in NV and I got a nasty gram from STATE of Nevada.. either they were trolling BP or someone on BP turned me in.. 

They will eventually run a sting and crack down on Airbnb around here.  

It'd be tough to crack down on this since it's not really their fault the rent is arriving late.
