What are the challenges of passive investing as opposed to traditional real estate investing? 

If so, I’d recommend investing in your own backyard as opposed to going out of state.

Such as, what percentage of those $1B in defaults came from tech platforms as opposed to traditional lenders?

But my solution in your case would be to frame out a dividing wall of 2x4s and either drywall or if the basement is prone to taking on water then I’d look for something waterproof as opposed to the drywall.

The ownership of your relinquished property and your replacement property may be owned or held by the same taxpayer as opposed to different taxpayers.

What in the world would have happened if both completely opposing measures passed??

Also, for those whose BUSINESS (as opposed to just investment) is STR, they can scale successfully while their experience and knowledge of the industry may allow them the opportunity to uncover and recognize those few opportunities that will provide a much higher than market risk adjusted ROI. 

That may be a little too aggressive but I do enjoy landlord friendly states as opposed to the tenant friendly ones.

If I were to do seller financing as opposed to FHA would it have a different impact? 

I would upgrade properties every 12-15 months as allowed by low down payment loans if my significant other wasn’t risk adverse and opposed to moving.
