Every time a politician opens their mouth, they should be required to say, "I am a non-attorney spokesman".

:cool: I knew this is what a scumbag Chicago politician would do - get paid hundreds of thousands to give a company billions of our money.

Opens doors for other cities to update but that can be a can of worms for most politicians.

Politicians need to visit your house or at least read this and admit the problems pets can cause and keep landlords free to refuse pets. 

When that happens taxes will go up because politicians know nothing else.One of the things I do when assessing a market is to download the CAFR of the city I want to invest in. 

Not only do I expect that taxes will be higher in the future (our politicians love to spend money we don't have, social security is going broke, and all kinds of other financial ugliness is on the horizon), but I also expect my income to continue to rise through most of my life. 

Various sources including CoreLogic confirm that San Diego ROI on buy n hold has been historically outstanding.Unfortunately I do have concerns about various politicians (National, state, and local). 

The current Chicago market is so dry and overpriced it’s ridiculous, mix that with the rising taxes it’s making me think twice about purchasing another property here until our politicians stop robbing us.

The Spanish speaking people in Texas being taken advantage of are a myth created by the “liberal” politicians looking to secure “ethnic” votes to push their socialistic agenda.

It's rarely a losing point for a politician to speak to voters (the predominance of whom are not landlords) and say that landlords are causing the trouble.
