It does, I think, a great job at giving an accurate picture of local rental owners or housing providers. https://twitter.com/attn/statu...I appreciate this effort y'all are undertaking.

This being said, if you are trying to undertake a highly speculative investment that has no chance of cash-flowing in the near future, and it requires all of your money to do it - then I'd say your 'fear" is well-founded.

The website you took this graphic from explains the categories reasonably well in layman's terms (at least it seems to me).Preempts rent control = state law forbids state or local rent control.Has no Rent Control nor Preemptions = no law against rent control and no de facto rent control in the state.

I have dealt with a few house fire projects and they are a huge under taking.  

I would have stopped them if I had known since it was a major undertaking to dig these ponds.

The next month they paid the higher rent and sent their 30 day notice they were terminating their month to month lease and would be moving out.I mention this as an option if you have someone who might be violating your lease by moving others in, is on a month to month tenancy and resides in a state that undertaking an eviction might be a long and/or expensive process for a landlord.Gail

This would be a very costly job to undertake.

I have not yet found any handy tenants interested in undertaking that kind of 1/2 day project.
