People like myself who worked very hard for decades can end up losing it all in Newburgh with this kind of reckless anti homeowner policy.looks to me like Newburgh like Newark is a dangerous place for new and small investors.

Like you were saying about the Woodlands, it would be prudent to avoid cities with economic drivers outside of tourism, as these places are starting to adopt anti-STR regulations.

Mark ForestIn general, I'm anti-appliance, and I am not an appliance repairman.For the average SFH we do NOT supply frig, washer, dryer.

It may take government intervention... in the sense that government might need to roll back some extreme anti business regulations to allow insurance companies to be profitable.

The anti flipping law wouldn't apply to me since I wouldn't be putting money into the properties, but I'd like some pointers, opinions or otherwise things to look out for while starting out.

At the end of the Day Orygun is anti business on a political level.. the UGB restrains gowth tax s are some of the higheset in the country..

Very unfortunate such a great state has laws that are so anti-investment.
