you might take a look at this survey on affordability-http://www.demographia.com/dhi.pdfSocialism generally increases taxes and thus puts presure on sales prices, IIRC - would appreciate an explanation of what you think Socialism does to increase sales prices of RE - NY RE owners would love to know, since they spend a lot of money to the anti-socialism lobbies!

In Arizona we have anti-deficiency statutes for primary residences, so they are instead mandating borrowers sign promissory notes prior to submitting the short sale to the investor.

Further, you don't provide much info on the "flip" house (when you bought it, how much you paid, what improvements if any you made) but there are also rules governing -- and in many cases prohibiting -- FHA financing of houses that are deemed to be a "flip" In fact, FHA guidelines even use the term "anti-flipping".

As I have stated before, I think conods should be left to those who are expereinced investors of which, have a market that can sustain positive cash flow after accounting for the additional HOA expense, and those who can afford to hold for the long term.Most of the anti-condo comments come as warnings to newbies trying to get their first deal done and they try condos first because of lower acquisition costs, unfortunately, they do not have a full understanding of the investment and that is the reason they end up taking it in the shorts.

But to me, this web page (and other things like the recent Colorado anti-flip law) says that is not enough.

are there rental restrictions (sounds like previous owner did, but can you) or any anti-investor policies (fees etc)?)

You cannot be that specific with facebook ads now, because they have new "anti-discrimition rules" so it will be a bit of hit and miss.

The legal is pretty close to being done, but there are some Anti Can Spam Act issues to sort through.  

You'll also want to keep in mind that good old NJ has restrictive anti-eviction laws.  

ONly FHA has a 90 day anti flip policy.
