Is your sate anti investor or anti- landlord?

.- In addition to jobs, we attract many new residents due to access to a wide variety of recreational activities.CONS- Increasing number of new laws that favor tenants (top two most anti-landlord cities, IMO, are Seattle and Federal Way).- When recessions hit or bubbles burst, double digit drops in value (depreciated prices).- Prices are still a premium, CoC returns initially remain lower than what many average investors hope to achieve.- Heavy competition.I'd love to get a sense on investor sentiment on investing in multifamily in Washington State. 

It gives investors a bad name and further increases a media accelerated anti-landlord sentiment, which we are trying to combat - if you want to support, check out the Rental Property Association of WI (RPAWI.org) - the oldest non-profit advocating for fair and sustainable landlord tenant laws. 

@Jodi Terrell, asking that question on BP will generate very interesting responses as BP in general is so anti-coaching/mentoring it's not even funny.

So...in essence, Treas Reg Sec. 1.469-9(f)(1) functions as an "anti-abuse" rule of sorts to prevent a RRE professional from downsizing his own RRE activities in relation to his "managed" RRE activities.Treas Reg Sec 1.469-9(f)(2) provides a de minimis exception to (f)(1), and may very possibly allow the taxpayer in your client's question to achieve what he's trying to achieve, which is why I am so hyper focused on it.Treas Reg Sec 1.469-9(f)(2) prescribes that if a real estate professional elects to group all rental real estate activities, and the pro-rata portion of his/her gross receipts of rental real estate activities held as a limited partner is less than 10% of all gross receipts from all of his/her rental real estate activities, Treas Reg Sec 1.469-9(f)(1) will not apply. 

I feel for some anti-STR neighbors that have lived in the neighborhood for sometimes decades, however times do change. 

Not only is it very hard to cash flow in CA, the tenant laws are heavily in favor of the renters, and anti-landlord. 

Narrow that list down to 3 and research the laws of each location to see if they are pro STR or anti STR.

Martin Edwards (my national guy)-email me for contact info-drawbacks are he is not a licensed broker but a "consultant" as he is a partner with one of his big lenders-also, he charges the investor points rather than the borrower, but can definitely DO THE DEAL and has many other programs like trans funding, extended trans funding, and HML'sPRMG/IKON-I have been told by different people that both these lenders can do it, but I have not been able to find any contact info for IKON to get refered rto a sales rep/mortgage broker and PRMG told me str8 up they cannot do it after checking with underwriters, for "anti flipping" rules.......Everyone please add to this list.

But, that mixed with the terrible anti-landlord regulations and increasing pressure from Minneapolis council, I am not interested in Minneapolis.
